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.

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.

Truly Unique Experience
Holy cow!!! What a unique and special experience! We’ve been on the road for 2 weeks and this stop was the highlight of our trip! Raul was a fabulous tour guide with exceptional knowledge of the site. Gary took time to talk us through the history of the many missile sites across the US. My children will talk about this experience with their grandchildren!! 20/10 recommend! Don’t miss this amazing opportunity!

A step back into Cold war history
What an amazing experience! Gary is a fabulous historian and his understanding of what went into the missile program as well as the restoration of his property is an amazing insight into the past. The building is jaw-dropping and the hospitality and openness of the host made this a truly memorable stop on my trip.
