Learn more about this land: ALL camping stays include an extensive 1.5 to 2 hour Missile Site Tour, with an underground Silo portion. The Missile Base property with it's underground Launch Control Center and a Utility Tunnel that leads to the 186 ft deep Missile Silo, with much of it's original floors still intact. Learn what it took to operate one of these amazing sites. The major construction/refurbishment areas, have been renovated into an unbelievable underground home and office. Prepare for one of the most awesome tours included with the cost of your stay. This is the site of a decommissioned Atlas F Missile Silo which was deactivated by the United States Air Force in 1965, located in Southeastern New Mexico, close to Roswell, NM. Explore the property that once housed our Country's first InterContinental Ballistic Missile ICBM Site and pick out your own camp spot. Everyone is invited on the top of the Missile Silo Cap for great stargazing and campfires in the evening. Just 20 short minutes from downtown Roswell, New Mexico, USA with many local stores and restaurants. The Missile Site is very near many activities such as hiking, biking and 4 wheel drive trails to include nearby Bottomless Lake State Park and the World famous International UFO Museum in downtown Roswell.The Missile Base property with it's underground Launch Control Center and a Utility Tunnel that leads to the 186 ft deep Missile Silo, with much of it's original floors still intact.

Awesome tour
Tour was the highlight of the night! Camp site was adequate, but the sounds and smells from the nearby gas pumps kept my tent awake all night. Location provided minimal wind protection, so keep that in mind when planning your gear.

The missle silo tour was so awesome! It was amazing to see the history and explore an actual silo. The campsite itself was very comfortable, but what you would expect from a fairly primitive site. There is an outhouse and Randy gave us access to water so that was a nice touch. The only downside was the smell of oil in the air since we were surrounded by oil drills, otherwise it was a great place to stay!

Great stay, super fun!
Raul was a super tour guide! He made us feel welcome and seemed to know everything about the history of the property. It was truly. We had a good amount of space and plenty of privacy. Facilities were all that we needed. Just enough amenities. The silo itself was super impressive! Thanks for a great stay and wonderful experience!
