Area 51 Stake Out - Dreamland Camp

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Within Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, Area 51 Stake Out - Dreamland Camp operates as a privately managed campground several miles south of the highway. The owner provides guidance on accessing the property through instructional videos, as the location requires navigation off main roads. Open terrain characterizes the site, which allows campfires, pets, and alcohol for $19 per night with reservations available.

Campers report very clear skies with minimal light pollution and mention unexplained activity in the area. Visitors should bring their own firewood to the drive-in accessible site. The Little A'Le'Inn provides an alternative camping option about five miles east for those preferring closer highway access.

Camping with the Aliens

This spot is really unique, if your like me, you like to be away from the crowd. Then this the perfect spot for you. Very clear sky, full of stars and STRANGE unexplainable activity. The owner took my call. Very nice an attentive. I would recommend watching his video on how to get to the property as it is a few miles south inland from the highway. Bring your own fire wood and connect with nature..
