Why stay when you can go to BLM land?

Now we are back home and settled after a weekend of camping we are back to getting ready for the Nomad Gathering in the Desert on weekend of May 19th.

During the Nomad Gathering we’ll be having a Talent show, an outdoor movie “Off the Maps”, live music by Jer Killinger Singer/Songwriter , J5th & the 77 Riders , and BINGO!

One of the things we heard a lot before opening up for camping is why would someone pay when they can go to BLM land for free.
We had questioned the same thing, we had heard stories about camping at some BLM lands, but never had experienced it ourselves.

After this last weekend we now understand why some rather pay. Our place isn’t much different than BLM, you can hike for miles, beautiful views, sunsets, sunrises over the mountains, very little light pollution which makes sky viewing beyond your beliefs. But we also offer security, respect, not going to walk through your campsite without permission.
We offer a few amenities, a toilet and hopefully the shower soon. You can socialize or stay to yourself, you can have food delivered to your site (the menu can be found on the website), we also have the new miniature Dusty Nail General Store which offers home made wash cloths, art prints and originals, build your own charm jewelry, “I survived music in the desert” t shirts, schedule a henna tattoo, tours of the mesa for those that might not be able to hike it, oh and you get a cell signal. These few things are what makes the difference and we feel security, respect and cell signal is the main reason. These are things we lacked while camping on BLM land this last weekend. We had to make our own security..

We like to hear from you, are there more we can offer that would make your stay more comfortable?

Short Break

We took a break for a few days, went camping and closed down Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. It may sound weird to some as we live full time in an RV and off-grid, yet go camping. But we still love tent camping usually in places RVs can’t get into! But now we are home refreshed but look forward to sleeping in our bed. I think the dogs will enjoy a good sleep as they are exhausted.

Projects here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

We got the Dusty Nail build pretty much finished. Now we start cleaning and setting up the inside.

We are excited to have the new stage and Dusty Nail General Store ready for the April Fool’s Open Mic !

I have so many ideas on how I want to decorate the inside, I’m not sure I will be able to accomplish my ideas by the next event. I will probably put off these ideas until after the Open Mic.

The next projects

First will be a shower. We have everything to build the shower. We will be looking for a good 275+ gallon IBC tote, cheap, food grade with good tread on the spout. If you know of one please contact us

We are planning on adding another road, 2nd parking area (can be used for parking or campsites) and a few more campsites.

We also plan on moving our private residence area back. This will give more campsites. Give us and the dogs more privacy while having events and or campers.

But before we can move our spot back we have to build the 5k solar setup. This one will only be dedicated to the “Beast” class A. The big solar is for the Greenroom, Bluemoon, maybe shower, and sound/lights during events.

If you’d like to come visit and see what we are doing. We welcome you to attend one of our events. April Fool’s Open Mic on April 1st, Nomad Gathering in the Desert May 19 to 21, Haunted Hay ride in October, (more events coming soon)come camp, or contact us to come and visit a few hours.
