Long Life Ranch

Beautiful area and instructions for getting there were perfect. Loved staying here and enjoying the views of the mountains. You’ll need 4 wheel drive for the driveway

Directions could be a little more clear but Google maps took me to the right spot, I believe. Views were great!

We were blown away by the property, the view, and the feel of being away. While it was definitely an adventure to get there it was worth every minute. We have camped a lot and thought this was easily a top 3 location all time.

One key: follow directions from crescent valley not battle mountain. The battle mountain direction was very rugged and needed 4 wheel drive. However the direction from crescent valley was a well maintain road with only a short stint on the driveway to get to a more excluded spot.

I actually wasn't able to find the place, but thoroughly enjoyed the area. I'd recommend updating the directions - I made the mistake of not doublechecking before leaving cell phone range.

The place is very remote, which makes it nice and quiet. The stars are incredible. Definitely recommend some solid ground clearance, especially if you’re coming from Battle Mountain. My Forester bottomed out over a couple of the stream crossings

Very secluded spot in the middle of nowhere :)

It wasn't entirely clear where we should pitch our tent, so we drove for a long way (~15 minutes) along the driveway. We stopped at 40°22'37.0"N 116°45'37.4"W, which has a fairly large clearing that a couple tents would fit.

We had a 2WD vehicle and had no issue getting there (via Crescent Valley), but likely wouldn't have been able to go much further. So, if you have any concerns about that, go to Crescent Valley first, then navigate to the spot.

This young man is super sincere and straightforward.

This spot was in the middle of nowhere. I am not opposed to the middle of nowhere, but I found this place really hard to get to and incredibly remote. The directions were ok, but not exact, making it challenging to be sure we were in the right spot. I was pulling a small trailer. There was no way I could pull that up the “driveway”. We stayed on the apron and it was fine, smelled like sage, and weathered a lightening storm without issue. It was super remote to just get a side of the road pull out.

There are no visible amenities in Crescent Valley. Be sure to top off and get water in Battle Mountain.

If you like remote, quiet, off the beaten path and a good 45 minutes from the interstate, this is perfect. Tent campers might be able to get up the driveway and enjoy more of the land.

Unfortunately I was never able to find the camping site even after reaching out to Andrew! Otherwise the area is very beautiful, however it all looked like private property.
