Such an amazing place. Never seen that many stars literally ever. Host was super awesome, he answered any questions I had within a few hours of our spontaneous arrival. We will come back here without question, it was such a beautiful spot.

This site is a MUST! My 2 pups and I have e been on the road for 13 days so far and this place was by far the nicest ive been. Id come back 1000 times. The landscape was beautiful the site was cute (there was a little lasso setup which made for a good laugh. The sunset was something to write home about for sure. Sunrise was nearly just as magical. Got the best sleep of my life and took some of the prettiest photos. I could not recommend this site enough.

Delightful spot for an overnight trip. I saw lots of nice wildflowers on the path in. Site was well stocked with firewood -- beautiful drive from here to White Sands.

The site is nice and remote but not far from Main Street. Be careful if you arrive at night. The turn is before the big rock. A big caution about the area. When we arrived the picnic table was COVERED in thick spider web. There was a huge black wooden spider who have turned the whole table into its nest. Also be aware there are cattle on this land. We were awoken one morning by 5 of them scratching their heads on the side of our camper. Not a big deal and my wife found it funny but just FYI. There is a fire pit and a cooking grate on site. Which was nice. Overall a good spot. Just could benefit from the host doing some checking on it before people arrive to clear out any dangerous spiders that have setup shop.

Exactly what I was looking for. Wide open space, far enough from town to avoid light pollution. Outstanding stargazing. Easy access. Easy host. Thanks!

This was so amazing for us to adventure through New Mexico and end the day by staying the night on the land. We were able to have a small fire, star gaze, and be in near silence. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Great camping spot that isn’t far off of the main road but far enough to not hear any of the traffic, I was looking for a quick evening out in my iKamper and this was it. I will definitely be back.

No coverage wide open! So just be prepared for wind and dust. Beautiful stars and a nice private space you can’t see from the road. We were in a tent and had a pop open shade tent as well and as long as everything was anchored properly the wind didn’t take it down. Great spot just 20 minutes outside Roswell.

It was perfect for me. Wanted to pull over and felt safe as a solo female traveler to spend the night on this sprawling ranch. Just a picnic table, fire pit amd view. No one around, rode my mt bike with my pup and enjoyed myself.

This was really a terrific experience! If you like solitude and nobody around you, this is the place. Nathan was very responsive, considerate and accurate in all of his descriptions.

Wonderful spot wide open area we could have watched the stars all night. Great directions and easy to get to with a few rough spots but nothing crazy. Close enough to town but far enough to not hear a thing even from the highway at night.
