The site is easily accessible, mostly flat, and offers options for orienting for views. Great location near Lamoille Canyon for scenic drive and hiking and the community of Spring Creek for gas and groceries. The full hook ups were an added bonus.

If you’re not comfortable with a long gravel road that changes over time, this might not be the journey for you. At times it was a bit bumpy a the road changes from smooth to washboard, but patient driving (and airing down a few psi) can help smooth it out.
Once you arrive Jay is there to greet you. His chill vibe speaks volumes for what he’s building out there. It’s truly a beautiful space the likes of which I’ve never encountered before. We had ideal weather, a bit warm when we arrived with a light wind, cooling down nicely overnight. Endless stars and zero lights made for an epic setting.
At a minimum you’ll get dusty but if you’re not getting a little dirty are you really camping?

The spot was remote and a bit of a journey to reach, but I was interested in that, and considered it part of the adventure. Loved the peace and solitude of the site. Jay was a great host, communicative and friendly. The goats were a bonus! Recommend.

We had to drive from the freeway to get to this site but it was well worth the drive out. Beautiful view of the Ruby Mountains. The lot is behind a gate in a fairly quiet area. I would definitely recommend to others.

Great view. Needed a place to land between stops and this was perfect. I was tenting which was a bit tougher than if you had an rv or self contained camper but using a tarp as an extra ground sheet did the trick and had a great sleep still. Highly recommend

We spent one night at Rabbit Ears, and loved the peace and quiet, the horses and sheep grazing in the field below, and mostly the view! Absolutely beautiful to watch an afternoon storm move across the Ruby Mountains and darken the canyon. In the morning we enjoyed hearing birds singing, and even saw a quick little rabbit!
Site was level, electric hookup was handy, easy to access. A great find, thanks for the hospitality!

Beautiful views and peaceful site. Site is between 2 homes so I was a little worried about the kids making too much noise at dark. We made quiet hours start at 8pm and it was fine. Saw the horses and sheep in the field below. A couple of deer and bunnies showed up too! Our dogs loved being able to roam and it was a full hook up site so major bonus! Would camp here again.

The host was friendly and helpful. Spot is very isolated but the host still had free wifi! The only thing is that it’s a 45min drive down an unpaved road to get there. Overall would recommend.
