Historic Santosh Ranch at Yerington, NV
Description
Rustic ranch land only a stone's throw away from town. The Santosh Ranch is surrounding a 3,700 s/f warehouse "Shop" with lukewarm indoor shower upon request. Ecozoic portable toilet is on order, and will be operational on June 23. Walking distance to Lyon County Fairgrounds (kitty corner across the highway), the town of Yerington (one mile) and the Night in the Country location (two miles).
There are a half dozen corrals and a few animal shelters, but has not had animals for years. Dyrt Campers can choose to camp in one of the corral areas to have fenced off privacy, and use of the animal shelter as shade. There are a pair of picnic tables in the various camping areas.
There is a fire pit behind the Shop that can only be used by the owner when it is not high-risk fire season. Also a gas stove BBQ in the shop. Both can be used upon request.
Other things to note
This bucolic and historical ranch is located on the eastern edge of the county seat Yerington, NV. It is close enough to walk or bike ride on country roads to town or the venue for Night in the Country, but far enough away to be tranquil. The Lyon Country Fairgrounds is located kitty corner only a 10 minute walk on a dirt road. The front four acres are the historic corrals and perfectly flat for camping. There will be a portable Ecozoic toilet on site on 6/23. The back four acres surrounding the big silver workshop are also flat and available for a dozen RVs. There are no hook-ups, however. Guests will have access to cold showers in the shop and a hot tub in season when the workshop is open. Non-potable water from our well is available.
