Valmy, NV · 1 site · Tent, RV
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.

TThank you for checking out Willow Retreat – Mountain City Camping, Fishing & Hunting Retreat!
Welcome to one of northern Nevada's best-kept secrets. Willow Retreat is located just 16 miles south of the Idaho border in the quiet historic town of Mountain City, surrounded by thousands of acres of BLM land and the nearby Duck Valley Reservation. If you're looking to unplug, enjoy the outdoors, and experience true peace and quiet, you've found it.
The property sits directly on the beautiful Owyhee River with nearly two acres of river frontage. Because this is open range country, a barbed-wire fence helps keep cattle off the property. If you choose to cross the fence to fish along the riverbank, please do so at your own risk and leave the fence exactly as you found it.
Fishing here can be excellent! Rainbow trout are commonly caught right from the property, and nearby reservoirs offer even more opportunities for anglers. Bring your favorite bait—worms are always a great choice, and the locals even swear by bacon!
Hunters love this area because it provides easy access to public land in both Nevada and Idaho. Depending on the season, you'll find opportunities for deer, elk, antelope, ducks, upland birds, and more. The surrounding roads and trails also make this a popular destination for ATV riders, off-road enthusiasts, photographers, bird watchers, and anyone who enjoys exploring wide-open country.
Mountain City itself has a fascinating history. Once a thriving mining community during Nevada's copper and silver boom, many of the original buildings and mining remnants can still be seen today. Exploring the old town, abandoned structures, and nearby mining areas offers a unique glimpse into Nevada's past while providing endless opportunities for hiking and photography.
One of the unique features of our property is the historic jail building located on-site. We're currently restoring this piece of local history and hope to offer it as a unique Airbnb stay in the future. Stay tuned!
The campsite offers plenty of level ground for multiple RVs or campers, making it perfect for families or groups traveling together. For your convenience, we provide an electrical outlet, Wi-Fi, and a picnic table. While you'll have internet access at the campsite, cell service and Wi-Fi become very limited once you leave the immediate area, so plan accordingly.
Just next door is the local bar, a favorite gathering place for residents and visitors alike. Don't let the simple exterior fool you—inside you'll find friendly people, cold drinks, and great food during the warmer months. If Rex is cooking, be sure to try the famous Rex Burger!
Need groceries, fuel, or supplies? The Duck Valley Reservation, about 15 minutes north, has a grocery store, Ace Hardware, gas station, and health clinic. Elko is approximately 90 minutes away, while Boise is about a 2½-hour drive.
Nearby fishing destinations include Wild Horse Reservoir, Sheep Creek Reservoir, Dry Creek Reservoir, Manning Reservoir, and many other hidden gems throughout the area.
Most of all, Willow Retreat is a place to slow down, relax, and enjoy nature. Listen to the river, watch for wildlife, take in the incredible night skies, and experience the kind of quiet that's becoming harder to find.
We hope you'll come make memories here and enjoy this little piece of Nevada as much as we do. Have a wonderful stay, travel safely, and we look forward to welcoming you back again!
