Cow Pasture, mudfest!

Had a bit of difficulty finding this place and had to call Atlan a few times before we finally found it. In all honesty, this is really just a cow pasture near a big pile of abandoned tires(tv’s,vacuum,mattress etc.) and lots of freight trains w/ really loud horns. We arrived just in time for a huge amount of rain, hence the mudfest. Got bogged down and had a little difficulty getting out. If you’re really in need of a place to park for the night... and there’s nowhere else, this is a great spot. Lots of open sky. The host is very helpful and responsive. I wish I could leave a better review, as you can’t control the weather. It just wasn’t quite what we were looking for.

As the owner

For accurate coordinates and booking visit Google maps and site on the link. As the owner and lover of nature I bring an off grid private campground. Upon arrival you find yourself on a prehistoric lakebed, just nature. Away from it all on the off beaten path to get there but hey 1.25 acres for camping and exploring Jojo! Centrally located and under the Milky Way🌌, each stay help towards planting trees, on the property and In the fossil creek woods after the fire/closure of 2021. Please call and txt reach out for inquiries-480-619-7143
