Welcome to Big Sky Country with fabulous sunrises and sunsets everyday. My 35 acres sit at 7500 ft elevation with 360-degree views for miles around, including view of the snow-capped Uintas. No neighbors (unless you count the occasional cattle or sheep as it is open range). Starry skies, red cliffs, sage seas, junipers, howling coyotes: the Wild West at its best. Pull in your RV or pitch a tent.
Lots to see and do in the area. The Piedmont ghost town and kilns are 15 minutes away. The majestic Uinta mountains are 30 minutes to the southeast on the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. Check out the local bison herd (including its famous white bison) at Bear River State Park in Evanston. While there, walk around the Historic Depot Area and the Union Pacific Roundhouse and Railyards further to the west. The downtown stretch along Main St. is step back in time and the site of our local brewery (Suds). Up the road on I-80 is historic Fort Bridger. Fishing available at local reservoirs and Bear River.

If you are on your way somewhere and need a place to campout, consider stoping here. In the spring when the creek is full, it is a fun place for kids to play (it dries up in July usually). There is a lot of open space. We have a trampoline and swing and fire pit we can share (fire pit for spring and early summer only). It's very peaceful out here. There are tons of flat roads to ride bikes safely on. It's 30 mins from Bear Lake, 20 Minutes from Monte Cristo. There is fishing nearby and a park around the corner. 15-20 amp electrical hookup (just a standard household plug with an extension cord) and water as well. We have kids who love to make you feel welcome and play with your kids too.

This property is located in a 'ghost town'. Abandoned around 1994 this land is located at the end of town. The property was originally a small railroad town.
It is a short dirt road off the highway and surrounded by a forest of 5' sage brush and a small creek just down the trail.
It was also referenced in 'Brokeback Mountain' as the birth place of Enes.

Very very very remote and quite site. We saw unbelievable stars and could hear a pin drop that night it was so quiet. We got in super late and because there was no GPS coordinates available had some issues finding it. The last instruction was a little inaccurate and it messed us up. The site was about 400 feet from the road and the instructions say 100 feet. Other than that it was good!

This was an unmatched experience for sure! I have never had such a peaceful and remarkable time. If you get a clear night, be ready for the ultimate star gazing experience. A great place to reset, I’ll be making it a point to return.

Great spot to experience a good amount of solitude. During my stay there were a few vehicles that passed within sight, but it was completely quiet the other 99% of the time. No accessibility issues of any kind.

Beautiful, remote spot. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, the views, the fire pit, fossil hunting and the stars. I’d recommend to anyone wanting some solitude. It was a bit out of the way for us and on unpaved roads, but worth it. Surprisingly good service despite being remote.

Located on beautiful, spacious land, Disco Juniper was the perfect place to rest our heads on our cross-country journey. The spot included a steel fire pit, two cast iron skillets for cooking, and a large rake to help smooth out the ground beneath your tent. We arrived after dark and were very grateful for the shining disco ball that beckoned us to the spot.

Just far enough away from civilization to feel private but easy to get to. The pups and I loved the spot and watched a couple of stunning sunsets with 360 views. Thanks for sharing your slice of beauty with us!

This place was the best! We are set up to boondock and had everything we needed to disconnect. We were there all alone in the serenity and beautiful 360 vistas. Watching storms move in and the distant view of the 4th of July fireworks in Evanston were the icing on the cake. We will definitely come back!

This was a great spot! My wife and I stayed here a couple nights and it was very peaceful. The directions were perfect and the local recommendations gave us something to do our first morning. Sunsets and sunrises were beautiful! Only downside was the mosquitoes so highly recommend some bug spray. The fire and wind didn’t do much to keep them away. But this place was great!

Really beautiful land. Tent camped at the fire ring. The disco sight is very easy to find, but I didn't see much flat sights for tents further than the fire ring. Directions were straightforward. Saw some stars and had a good quiet night. It was exceptionally peaceful. Some mosquitos, so bring bug spray. I'd come back.

This stop suited us well. It’s easy to find and we found a nice, level spot just off the driveway for our 21 foot campervan. We were able to open out the side “patio” towards a creek and felt very private, even though we were fairly close to the house. The community is small and quiet.
