We wanted to see lunar crater but didn’t think our 36’ class A would make it up the road, so we parked here for the night and went for a day drive up in our toad.

This rest area is truly in the middle of nowhere on the extraterrestrial 👽 highway, save a homestead just up the road. Views are fantastic, drive to get there is splendid nothingness mixed with thundering magnificence, sunset and sunrise were exquisite, star gazing was awesome and it was so, so quiet. Very few or no cars passing by at night.

The rest area has no bathrooms or water so you are dry camping, so we filled with some extra water before we left our previous park. But, it has picnic tables, grills, and garbage cans. We grilled and had a lovely evening.

Strangely, for being the middle of nowhere, we both had full bars on cell reception, though I was technically considered “extended network.”

We arrived here on 31 Oct 2023 for one night. This rest stop is right on US 6 between an NDOT facility and a USAF auxiliary airfield (Base Camp) just a few yards off the highway. The road that cuts through the rest stop is paved and nearly level. There is not much here. Five picnic tables, four trash cans, one grill, and a water spicket. The spicket did not say whether or not the water is potable so use caution. It appeared this area is not used very much. Great place to stop for the night, very remote.
