Athena Slabs at Green River

All the slabs are torn up as of 11/2024, would not risk getting a flat tire for this spot

We got there after dark and we couldn’t find any slabs. They had all been torn up. It’s a dirt field with slab piles and rebar in the dirt. Be careful driving in the field. We still found a nice flat spot to camp.

About a two minute drive off I-70, so very convenient stop if you’re passing through. Had the place to myself on a Wednesday night, apart from a couple herds of deer. If you’re following directions from the coordinates it’s okay to find in the dark. Can hear the highway. Wouldn’t stay here if I wanted to go “camping”, but it was fine to sleep for the night.

Easy gravel road after crossing I70. Would be hard to find the slabs at dusk. WIDE open no cover. Lights and noise from freeway. Good cell coverage. Great if just pulling off for a sleep.

This picturesque site has great views and spacious sites. This is way more than an overnight sleep, you could stay here 3-4 days for hiking and excellent views at different time of the day. Only caution is road is a bit rough to get to spots but not real bad and well worth It! BTW…AT&T Services was 5G!

It great if you are gonna just spend the night and not really camp. We have dogs with us and there is a lot of junk to watch out for. Some of it from the area's former life and some of it from mis use by users. Not really site numbers but at least 20 slabs to park on. Mtn bike trail in sight of camp kinda of makes up for the mess.

Great spot for a quick overnight stay. Because of the concrete slabs, there are a ton of flat spots to set up whether you are tent or car camping. Easily accessible

It is kind of cool. The slabs ate easy to camp on and find. There are some fire rings built.

Camped right off the slabs to protect the tent, had the whole place completely to ourselves. Can hear the highway, but it’s just like white noise. Easy for short term 1-night!

This is an old military air force base, nothing left but all the concrete slabs from the bldgs. Just outside of Green River, excellent cell on Verizon, att and TMobile, some freeway noise depending on wind direction.. Free dispersed, but no water, trash or toilets. The new Athena mt bike trail is close by. Slabs are 35 ft long, 18 ft wide and there are about 56 lined up in military formation.
