STARGAZING & MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS ABOUND! Dusty Rabbit Van Life @ Schrimsher Ranch is an alternative camping and Star Gazing location just outside of ROSWELL, 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 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!

My most easily accessed site and close to the open highway, yet quiet enough to take a break and enjoy the sunset before you head back out. I try to keep the site stocked with firewood, but I encourage campers to bring their own if they can. Easily accessed by any vehicle and rigs with hitch pulled trailers.

Campers visiting this site are consistently impressed by the peace and solitude it offers, with expansive views of the night sky being a standout feature. The area is conveniently located yet feels remote, offering a perfect balance for those seeking tranquility without being too far from Roswell. While most reviews are positive, some mention the occasional road noise and wind, as well as the presence of wildlife like black widows. Overall, the site is praised for its open space, safety, and the host’s clear communication and helpful directions.
