100000% would go back. The most quiet dark sky with level grass and no stickers for the pups. Right by the windmills. Totally magical. So convenient off I40.

Great spot for the night just off of Route 66! I got in well after dark and had trouble finding the campsite, Blanca was extremely responsive and helpful with getting me to where I needed to be. Turns out it was a lot easier than I made it! Woke up to an amazing sunrise and explored the property a bit before heading out. Would definitely recommend!!

Great place with terrific history. A stay here is a must if you are exploring historic Route 66. Perfectly flat field with prarie views and camping in a ghost town is pretty cool.

Great flat location just off I40. Lots of windmills, but they made no noise at all. Winds were up to 40 mph and got colder than forecast, so it was pretty miserable car camping in a Subaru Outback...but that's on us. It's a great, affordable, convenient spot for traveling through.

Catching a glimpse of early Texas right out your window. Love the Prairie wildlife at dawn, and the quiet whoosh of the wind power turbines.
Everything speaks of a peaceful camping experience.

Super convenient. Great place to stop and rest after a long day of driving on I-40. Plenty of room to stretch my legs and exercise my dog. Got some amazing sunrise photos with the windmills.

Our family had an absolute blast here. From exploring the old ruins, to seeing tarantulas and bombardier beetles, to even a tiny mouse, we had so much fun exploring. The night sky and the stars were incredible, as well as the lightning show behind our rv. Usually there is too much light pollution in other places, but this spot was perfect! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone, and we will definitely be back if we pass this way again.

Host was friendly and great. Informed us a little of the family history of the property and surrounding area. Was also on top of letting us know about some iffy weather we'll ahead of time. Property was easy to find with host directions and was pleasant. Would stay again.

Blanca and Blair were incredibly gracious hosts. The campsite was immaculately clean and effortlessly navigable. The hosts were readily available onsite and eager to assist me with any questions or needs. We will definitely be going back. Tip- take water and portable power bank.

It was the perfect place to Van camp! Blanca and Blair were so friendly and accommodating! Their ambassador Danno was a breath of fresh air!! He had so much knowledge of the area and the history of Jericho! If you get a chance to stop by, do it!! You won’t be disappointed!

Jericho is awesome

It was real fun exploring the old weird stuff.
Sleeping so close to the windmills was pretty cool too. They don’t make that weird trump sound by the way, and no bird graves. lol
Family on the property are delightful as well.

Rolled through on our way to Santa Fe and spent the night. It was a perfect- just off the highway place, come when you make it, leave when you wake up- set up. Not hard to find at all.

Quiet and private with a lot of room on a beautiful property. Friendly and accommodating host. I would recommend arriving during the day, if possible, as it was difficult to see the landmarks described in the directions when we arrived after dark.

Quick and easy adventure

What a cool spot for a quick stay!
We arrived just after dark on a windy night-the neighbor met us at the end of the drive and led us back to the parking site even though it was very easy to find. He shared a few tales about the land and Route 66 that helped create the ghostly atmosphere. When the sun rose the next morning, we walked our pups around the remains of the ghost town for some early morning exploring and got some great photos. Very easy spot right off the 40. In and out with a pocket full of adventure. Awesome.

We had a great stay from the moment we booked until the moment we left! Blanca called to make sure we knew how to get there and what we were in store for staying in the ghost town! We love history and enjoyed reading all about Jericho! Blanca had someone there to guide us to the grounds for us to pop our camper up for the night and he was incredibly kind and helpful! Will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!!
