Ted and Steven were AMAZING hosts. They have a thin slice of heaven up on top of that mountain. They were generous and kind and gave me a break from playing fetch with my dog by taking their turn. :-) And of course the views are spectacular. Highly recommend this location!

Ted’s place was absolutely gorgeous, especially the lights as other campers mentioned, and he was super accommodating! Really enjoyed the stay despite the summer heat :)

This was by far the best camping experience I’ve ever had!! It’s close to the house, but you feel so secluded and it’s peaceful/quiet. He hung up solar lights around so it felt magical and whimsical. The outdoor shower was an added bonus too! 15 mins from heart of Virginia city which was a cute historic spot. 10/10 recommend this place!!

Camping with Lookout

Beautiful location. We were able to park our car with roof top tent right at lookout point. Enjoyed beautiful sunset and sunrise from our tent. Highly recommend! Very nice hosts.

High desert dreaming

I can’t say enough wonder things about Ted and the spot he has created. So incredibly whimsical and full of amazing energy. The views are incredible. Outdoor shower at night with led lights was definitely a highlight after returning from a concert nearby. Truly there is so much love out into this place. Please go!

Special location, special host
Tent
Great spot up in the mountains. Ted, the host, could not be nicer. We forgot several things and without our even asking he jumped to help us out. Special spot, special host.
