Wear comfortable footgear and hold on to railings. There are several flights of stairs to go down and then back up. There are a number of structures coming out of the ground and there are also holes from the missile base infrastructure, our construction and from wildlife. Be aware of your surroundings and where you are putting your feet. I strive to make it as safe as possible, but there are inherent hazards on this site. ![]() The entire site is somewhat of a construction zone. I hope you'll connect and monitor my progress as I am constantly working to add, refurbish and improve my adventure resort. The site is close to over 9,000 acres of hunting and fishing lands at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, Smoky Hills/Kanopolis Wildlife Area and Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area.Īt the end of the day relax next to a community campfire or spend some time pondering the Universe and stargazing under an immense starry sky without much light pollution. Wilson State Park offers over 20 miles of single-track biking trails (some of which are Epic rated) kayaking, boating and other watersports. I am located 4 miles off I-70, 2 miles from the town of Wilson, and 12 miles from Wilson Lake.Įxplore nearby Wilson State Park and Reservoir, which boasts one of the largest & cleanest lakes in Kansas. Nestled in the Smoky Hills of Kansas, my 24-acre property has beautiful views of the Post Rock Wind Farm and surrounding countryside, where you can enjoy walking/biking paths, secluded camping spots and easy access RV parking. You can help me meet my goals and enjoy staying here by clicking on my Patreon link and supporting the cause. I hope you'll join the adventure, come stay with me, take a tour, and follow my progress on social media. I have some big visions and dreams for the future development of the site. A gift shop with a gourmet coffee shop + wine/whiskey bar, campground showers and laundry center, and an event center for hosting larger events. Future plans include a wellness center for massage and sauna. I hope to have my full-fledged RV park with water and electrical hook-ups and high speed internet ready for the 2024 season. This next year I am being sponsored by Airbnb to develop my Atlas F Missile Base into an Educational Center for Space Habitat Studies and an OMG destination, with underground bookings only available through my Airbnb SuperHost website.Ĭurrently there is a primitive campground with sites for tent & hammock campers as well the VanLife, Carcamping, RV's & Trailers with plenty of room for large rigs which can be booked below. Unfortunately, we had to close it when the property went under contract for sale. In 2017, we established an AirBnB suite at Subterra Castle and gained some international press for our unique underground suite. This is also the year that Buddy (the Missile Silo dog) found us, he was a stray that was struggling to survive, and is now my best friend, always by my side. In 2013, we purchased the Atlas F missile silo property near Wilson, Kansas. In 2010, I moved onto the Subterra Castle property with my then wife and we started assisting with the acquisition and sales of decommissioned missile bases, communication bunkers and other DOD underground facilities. Years later I helped building stones up one of the Castle towers. Over 30 years I have watched as the site has been developed & featured on National Geographic, Home & Garden Network even Oprah. The next day I met the owner who was converting the abandoned bunker into an underground mansion called Subterra Castle. Realizing we needed flashlights to properly explore the bunker we felt like we were in a Indian Jones movie. To the side was a personal entrance, when I tried the handle the door opened to reveal a tunnel leading into darkness. The paved road in the middle of the countryside turned and disappeared into an underground bunker through a 47-ton blast door built to withstand a Nuclear explosion. The place looked abandoned and we ventured through an open high security gate with barbed wire on top, into a "Top Secret" decommissioned underground Air Force Base. In 1990 I was 10 years old hiking through the Flint Hills of Kansas with a friend, in the middle of rolling hills we found a decommissioned Cold War era Atlas E Missile Base.
