Sleepy Valley Farm

Embark on an unforgettable journey to the blissful Pecos Valley! Here, you'll discover exquisite stargazing, serene silent nights, breathtaking sunsets, and stunning views that will leave you in awe.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as you play in the river, embark on a guided trail ride, or indulge in a beginner’s riding lesson on one of our gentle horses. Savor a farm-to-table meal with us, or simply bask in the tranquility around a campfire on the riverbank.

With the closest neighbor miles away, you'll be enveloped in darkness free of light pollution, allowing for unparalleled stargazing experiences. The vast open skies provide the perfect canvas for spotting constellations or even hunting for UFOs – a phenomenon with a history dating back to the 1950s, with many sightings reported in the area.

Accessing our farm is a scenic drive along 16 miles of well-maintained gravel roads. While four-wheel drive is not necessary, if you prefer to avoid dust, we're happy to meet you in town and escort you to the property.

Dusty Rabbit Van Life

Learn more about this land:Dusty Rabbit Van Life @ Schrimsher Ranch is an alternative camping & Star Gazing location just outside of town, yet close to the open road. A great place to relax under the stars, have a camp fire, and kick back next to your travel rig after a long day.  You are welcome to explore the 600+ acres of rolling hills and high desert of our ranch. If you cross a fence you've gone too far, so that makes it easy for you to know where you're at.   You might just want to crash for the night in a safe location out on the rangeland or stay a day or two to enjoy the land to walk, mountain bike antelope trails, and maybe even Sniffers the pronghorn antelope will find ya before you head out. This is a primitive site, so leave no trace practice is appreciated and pack in/out is how we do it here.  If you come in the summer prepare the morning coffee early and enjoy the desert sun's rays hit the Capitan, but by 9am it will be hot, so be ready! Best star gazing and satellite watching in the world!  

I have several sites to choose from. But remember to keep an eye on the wind and weather as it can get crazy out here sometimes…..!!! I try to keep the sites stocked with firewood, but fill free to bring your own.  

Lonely Bull Camp 1 is my most popular site. It is very private and is easily accessible by most vehicles and campers.  
Ask about Lonely Bull Camp 4x4 if you have a capable vehicle. Amazing stars!!

Old Highway Camp is a great alternative if you want something closer to the highway and have a safe private place to pull over, camp, kickback, make a fire and get back to your life on the on the road in the morning. It is closer to the highway, but is quite at night and has great star gazing. Enjoy being greeted by The Mountain in the morning. Let me know where you would like to stay and I will do my best to accommodate you! Safe travels!

Nighttime Cozies with the Rig and the Mountain.
