Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at keithreynolds11@yahoo.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Where is Raptor Roost located?
We’re located at 50864 Rio Grande Drive, Brownsville, Texas 78521 (yes, we’re on Google Maps!). Just 3.8 miles from the SpaceX launch tower, we’re as close as you can get outside of SpaceX property!
Do I have to stay overnight and camp if I just want to watch the launch?
Yes, you must camp overnight at Raptor Roost to see the launch, as HWY 4 (the road to SpaceX and Raptor Roost) is closed by the sheriff at midnight before the launch. You can arrive at Raptor Roost at 8am the day before the launch, or anytime after until midnight. We’re excited to have you join us for this incredible experience!
Is there a restroom?
Yes, we provide port-a-potties for our guests, and they are cleaned daily to ensure your comfort and convenience.
Is food and water provided?
While we provide free bottled water for our guests, please note that Raptor Roost is a ranch and not a year-round campground. You're responsible for your own food and water. However, there’s usually a snack truck that arrives the evening before the launch with food and drinks for purchase, and you’re welcome to cook out on one of our grills. Please plan accordingly.
Are there electrical hook ups for RVs, EVs or electrical outlets available?
No, as we are not a year-round campground we do not have the infrastructure to support RVs, EVs, nor do we offer any electrical outlets for guests. You are welcome to bring a generator to support your needs.
Are pets allowed?
Friendly pets are welcome, but please keep in mind that rocket launches are extremely loud. If your pet is sensitive to sound, it’s best to leave them at home. Also, since we’re located next to a national park reserve, there’s a risk of your pet running away into the wild. We want to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, including your furry friends!
What if I cannot make the launch or if it's canceled? Do you do refunds?
We do not offer refunds for any reason, but if the launch is rescheduled by SpaceX, we will honor your reservation for the new date. If you can’t make your reservation, we’ll honor it for the next launch. We’re here to ensure you have the best experience possible!
Can I come a few days early or leave a few days later?
If you need to arrive earlier than the day before the launch or stay later than the day of the launch, we offer extra days for just $30 each. We’re happy to accommodate your schedule and ensure you have a great experience!
Why do I have to sign a waiver?
Each guest, including children, must sign a standard release waiver. This is your way to understand any potential risks and the terms for your stay. We want to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment!
