Learn more about this land: Our campsite provides amazing sunset & sunrise views of Whiteface Mountain to the east, Bosque Peak to the Northeast and the Sierra Ladrones Wilderness Study Area/Mountains out to the West. Verizon cell phone tower is located near the intersection of Highway 60 and Monrovia Street and provides for full LTE service. The site is located about half a mile off of Highway 60, but tucked far enough away where you will not hear any highway traffic. The closest nearby land occupants are about 2 miles away and more in other directions. Privacy will not be a concern! We are slowly in the works of adding a firepit area and some pet area fencing. The perimeter is marked with green metal stakes with red tops. What is Nearby?

Had a great time stargazing at Michael’s property. The video he provides makes it easy to find. It was so peaceful and quiet; just me, some cows, and coyotes.

Great dispersed camping area. Easy to see the stars at night. Very easy to find with the video directions. Host was nice and helpful.

Camped here in my van with my two dogs and it was exactly as expected - quiet, beautiful. Michael sent a video to help with directions to the spot and we found it no problem after the video. Neighbors were pretty far away and nothing bothered us the entire night or next morning. Would stay again, thanks Michael!

Excellent camping for tents & trailers!! The stars out here at night were AMAZING!! It's a large property and there was nobody else nearby. A great atmosphere and seclusion this time of the year. Michael was also super helpful and I would highly recommend this site.
