Wide open desert with history. In the 1800s the area was prospected for lead and silver. It was also used as farmland decades ago, and now is infamous for it's world class night skies and Area 51 air force installation. Although you can see planes taking off towards the Nellis Bombing Range, or see jetfighter training exercises or even test flights, the US Government still hasn't acknowledged the existence of the facility... that you are not allowed to enter. This is also a UFO hotspot and required visiting for those that believe Earth may have visitors. This land means a lot to a lot of different people. For some, it means peace from city life. For others, it is the perfect setting for reflection on your life. Many find it to be the kind of adventurous or challenging tent camping they've sought. You'd be foolish not to count yourself among those the photographers, amateur astronomers, or souls that enjoy the continental United States' "darkest skies" with the least amount of light pollution in this part of the world. Some simply like camping and getting free air shows. Finally, if you enjoy UFO stories or stories of our men in black, there is an itinerary for you here that nowhere else can provide. This area is on many "independent researchers" must-visit list. If all that weren't enough, there is an indescribable feeling of bedding down for the night in this valley. Maybe 100% of people don't feel it, but so many past visitors who have spent the night near the Extraterrestrial Highway (the real name of Nevada State Route 395 that this land is accessible from) can vouch for it. Primitive, Raw Land - RV/Camper Vehicle Highly Recommended. Lowest light pollution in the USA! Raw beauty in the desert for adventurous souls. Nature is balanced by the 'secret military' jet planes that tear across the sky randomly from Area 51. Different kinds of folks will enjoy this very unique spot. The most outdoorsy types looking for something new, travelers on spiritual journeys, and those with equipped RVs will appreciate this unique stay. (Let's not forget, fans of UFOs and/or seeing Government secrets also get a unique kick out of this place. Check out the pictures and read more about this listing! There are zero hookups. This is raw land. There are very limited amenities (read the rest of the listing and view pictures), but a travel vehicle with the basics is VERY HIGHLY recommended. FINDING THE PROPERTY: Before your booking date, you will be sent a trove of information. This includes a guided step-by-step picture map of how to reach the property from the highway. To further eliminate any doubt, there is a video available that shows the full, entire, real time drive (from highway to property) that pauses at landmarks to show you how to get to the property. Anyone who has reviewed this information before attempting to reach the property has had zero trouble finding it. If you wait till you're out in the middle of the desert at night to review this information and find that you are on a network with no cellphone signal... you're playing life on hard mode and you may encounter difficulties finding the campsite. 10 minutes of prep before your journey will go along way. Other Notes: Please do not shine laser lights at aircraft, or on to land that is not included in this property. Highly NOT recommended.
