46mi from Crescent Valley · 16 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to Antelope Run Ranch, a one-of-a-kind off-grid escape tucked deep within Nevada’s Pumpernickel Valley, between Battle Mountain and Winnemucca. Spanning more than 40 acres of rugged desert beauty, this developing retreat offers vast open skies, endless exploration, and a chance to experience the high desert the way it was meant to be—quiet, raw, and unforgettable. Here, solitude meets adventure. Whether you’re off-roading, stargazing, hiking, or simply seeking stillness, Antelope Run Ranch gives you space to breathe, explore, and reconnect. The ranch stretches across an expansive section of open Nevada desert, with a dry riverbed winding through its heart. This natural feature tells the story of the land—once carved by flowing water, now home to soft sand, wild sagebrush, and the occasional curious pronghorn antelope. Everywhere you look, the horizon stretches without end, framed by distant mountain ranges that glow gold at sunrise and turn deep violet by dusk. When night falls, the Milky Way reveals itself in spectacular clarity, making Antelope Run Ranch one of the best stargazing spots in northern Nevada. Small young trees—recently planted and lovingly tended—hint at the ranch’s gradual transformation into a sustainable desert haven. Each visit offers a new glimpse of its evolution. Three operational campsites are available, each large enough for a travel trailer, rooftop tent, or ground tent. These sites are spaced widely apart, allowing guests to enjoy solitude and quiet while still being close enough to share meals and stories with others. Future upgrades will include a central communal area—a shared cooking and gathering spot where guests can meet, eat, and relax under the stars before retreating to their own camps for rest. Antelope Run Ranch isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a launch point for adventure. Surrounded by miles of BLM land, guests have unlimited freedom to explore. Bring your 4x4 vehicle, ATV, or UTV and dive into soft desert sands, rocky trails, and open valley plains. Whether you’re hunting, rockhounding, hiking, or just wandering, the landscape invites exploration in every direction. If you’re a stargazer, photographer, off-road enthusiast, or someone who loves wild open places, this ranch was made for you.
