38mi from Fort Bidwell · 7 sites · Tents, RVs

Our 20-acre property in Plush, Oregon is located just south of the Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge on the shore of Hart Lake. The land is completely undeveloped and littered with Sagebrush and a few large boulders. This property gives you true isolation, silence and skies free of light pollution. This kind of isolation comes with minimal cellular service. It is one of the darkest places in America. 25 miles from both the Nevada and California borders, this location is a great relay point for Burning Man or other music festivals. The way the land is situated gives you great views at both sunrise and sunset. Great for families, campers, ATVing and just much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of society. The property is accessed via an easement through a ranch. Please close any gate that you open (only one). The road to the property traverses a designated wetland, so the sage is pretty gnarly due to our legal inability to remove it.

The ranch was easy to find and easy to access. All utilities were in great condition with no troubles. The host, another camper, and related friends were warm, welcoming, generous, and so much fun! Clear sunny mornings, quiet starry nights, and an alpaca and a donkey for company, it’s the perfect launch pad from which to work or explore. We’ll be back and bring more apples for the donkey.

It was so surprisingly quiet and we were the only ones there so it was awesome having the place to ourselves. We were having trouble with the sewer hookup but Hans came right over and fixed it. There was a block party going on near our spot so we checked that out and we had great burgers and it was awesome!
