Rocket Ranch is a venue that provides camping, lodging, touring, and launch observation from the edge of the exclusion zone of the worlds most powerful flying machine: Starship SuperHeavy at SpaceX's StarBase.

For launch ticket holders, please arrive at the Rocket Ranch Campground  a minimum 4 hours prior to the launch window. Once registered at the Rocket Ranch Campground, you will be bussed to the Outpost with your belongings. No personal vehicles are allowed at the Outpost, so bring only what you need to survive.

Each Rocket Ranch   Launch Ticket Covers 1  attempt of a Flight. Please Purchase SCRUB INSURANCE to ensure you can  ride the bus  for the very next attempt. 


We provide the closest most elevated perspective available to the public for StarShip launches and the closest lodging.  

 

Rocket Ranch has currently two active locations: The Rocket Ranch Campground & The Rocket Ranch Outpost. 

The Rocket Ranch Outpost is our premier launch observation venue providing outstanding views of the SuperHeavy launch site at only 3.7 miles from stage zero. We feature an elevated platform and unmatched media service.

 

We welcome many live streamers/broadcasters, and all lovers of StarShip, providing unmatched launch views. 

We offer discounts to SpaceX employees

 

The Outpost sits on the Rio Grande at the edge of the 40 square mile Lower Rio Grand Valley National Preserve. Expect incredible nature and true outdoor camping conditions. Please provide whatever you need to make yourself comfortable.

 

Rocket Ranch will supply a few common area tents for guests while supplies last.

 

There are  porto-potties, hand wash stations, and food trucks available during the event for your convenience.

 

We will provide live coverage all night long, including any in-flight views made available to us by SpaceX to LZ. 

There will be music and laser light shows.
 

The Rocket Ranch Campground is 9.7 miles from stage zero 

Our Andromeda Pavilion is a large shaded area overlooking the river available for rentable parties, featuring a service container.
