We sit half way between Wells and Elko, Nevada just two miles off intestate 80. Our little desert ranch is quiet with a spectacular view of the Ruby Mountain range, and we are far enough away from the city that you can enjoy the starlit sky at night. Our main property is completely fenced 2.5 acres, so if you have a dog that needs to get out and run, feel free to let them loose. We have an area for up to five RVs of any length with water and a dump station available on property. Generators are welcome and there are also two spaces with 30 amp electrical. Water and sewer hookups are also available. In addition, we have one dedicated 20amp (120V) circuit with water and dump nearby (great for smaller RV's/Vans. If you're hauling horses we have a livestock pen that you may use to allow them out of your trailer. We are a work in progress here and have brought in some playground equipment for travelers with smaller children and a horseshoe pit near the fire ring. Donations are placed back into improvements for our traveling guests! :) Elko, NV. offers all the usual grocery stores, restaurants, casinos, as well as a museum. Elko also hosts The annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in January and the famous Silver State Stampede Rodeo in July. We are a short 40 minute drive to Angel lake which is an Alpine lake at approx. 8,300' elevation stocked with trout or good for kayaking.

Location
The access road is dirt and gravel which could be packed snow or muddy in places during the Winter season, dry, dusty with some washboard the rest of the year. The southwest corner of our property is graded for level RV parking with lots of room for maneuvering . You may park your tow vehicle at your spot or stay hooked up if you desire. We have two separate gates for easy access into or away from the property.

Retired Railroading couple who still needs to feel the wheels turning under foot, so we swapped out steel for rubber and began RVing in 2017 full time, now part time. As hosts on our ranch in Nevada, we are allies and offer a safe place for camping to all who need it.

This ranch is a little out of the way and the road can be rough, but our Promaster van did OK taking it slow. The hosts were nice and gave us our space. They offer hookups too.

Eric is a nice host. He helped me to park the trailer with 30A plugin and introduced the environment around his property. Although the road is a little rougn from I-80 to the place, we will stay here again.

What a beautiful view! Eric and Kathryn were very accommodating. The road is a little rough but it's worth the trip. They have a terrific Harvest Host setup, and we had a great chat with Eric. We definitely look forward to seeing them again when we are in the area.

This is a work in progress with potential. The hosts were welcoming and very helpful. The facility is fully fenced so our dogs could run until they dropped There is 30 amp power in a few parking spaces and developed sewer hookups. The views of the mountains are breathtaking However, it is a slow slog up undeveloped roads to get there. The host works to smooth them out but it is a particular rough after snow melt. If you have an aversion to bumps, dust, and dirt roads, this may not be for you. We were cleaning for a full day after, but we enjoyed the experience

Eric and Kathy were great hosts. Eric met us at the gate and made sure we had everthing we needed. Even offered us full hookup. There is alot of turn around room and the views are amazing. We also enjoyed a very cool thunder and lightning storm while there. The road to their place is dirt and rough. Just take it slow and it will be fine.
