Missile Silo Adventure (Atlas Ad Astra)

Was greated with a smile and an explanation of the grounds... and below grounds! Caught a tour of everything in the morning. Matthew is passionate about his work, takes great pride in what he's doing, and wants to share it with everyone.
Clean, comfortable stay.
Can't wait to go back and see the progress.

Ad Astra is a great camping destination. In addition, the tour of the silo itself is really neat. What makes it great is that Matt is very knowledgeable about the site’s history. A great destination as the sky is very clear and the stars pop.

We had a great time touring the facility with Matthew (the owner). He has an incredible vision for the future of this place.

I was impressed with the progress he’s made based on photos and comments from others. The site is really coming together and is impressive as it is today.

We stayed in the RV parking. It was a beautiful night.

Really cool, unique experience. It exceeded my expectations. Matthew's tour is fascinating, and seeing the inside of the silo was awesome. The property is lovely too, with a scenic walking trail and a fire ring.

We stayed overnight in our RV. There are no hook ups yet, but they are in the works. I was a little apprehensive about parking on grass, but it was no problem.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the missile silo during the Big Kansas Road Trip. Matthew did a great job of explaining the site and showing us around. I learned a lot about what happened when the silo was active. I was amazed by the many plans that Matthew has for creating an even more wonderful vacation destination.

I'm not sure I can top all the other well deserved, glowing reviews given. This site is amazing. Matthew is a fantastic host and is working his tail feathers off to make this a rock star venue for adventurers and academics alike. He is keen on developing sustainable solutions for both earth living & future space travels. The tour he gives is wonderfully well informed & very passionate. He's almost completed the first rentable AirBnb section of the silo, which looks phenomenal. We hope he hits his target & has it ready to roll out in February.

We're really excited about the STEM/STEAM programs he's getting ready to launch. Anyone with a passion for Aerospace/Aeronautics is about to get another great resource outside the traditional academic institution pathways.

Be aware if you choose to camp here it is a dry site for the moment without hookups. It doesn't detract at all from the amazing views, wonderful history and exciting potential the silo is manifesting in this tucked away little corner of Kansas. We'll be making this a regular stop on our route for sure.

What a fun unique experience. Matthew’s passion for this project shines through during the tour that has a couple OMG moments. I highly recommend it.

This is a really interesting stop on your way through Kansas. Matt and Leigh Ann, owners and host have deep roots in Kansas. Matt started his journey and interest of cold war missle silos after finding one as a kid in near his childhood home in Kansas (I'll let him tell you the story) and since he has traveled the world. His energy and ability to share his years of research on Missle Silos, Atlas Ad Astra in particular is incredible.

RV Camping tips: There are 5 back in spots on a 3-4% grade. If you have a heavier rig longer than 30ft ask Matt if you can park near blast doors or on gravel drive. Rains a lot in KS in summer and can be tough to pull up grassy slope. If you have a taller rig, 12ft or more really watch for branches at beginning of drive way. Stay to the middle, I would suggest pulling up, getting out and looking at the tree branches in comparison with your rig to make sure you avoid them. After that pretty smooth sailing. Beautiful views of rolling green acres.

Definetly worth the stop!!!!!!😎

Matthew might be the most interesting man in the Midwest, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Hospitable, friendly, funny, and just plain great! If you have a chance stop by hear the stories, see the silo, and have a experience you won’t forget.

Thank you Matthew for your time!

Like it said work in progress but still amazing and definitely a must see. Very promising future for the place and everyone else for what it can bring. Matt is an amazing tour Host definitely worth the time if your in the area.

We took the tour and were very impressed with the site and knowledge that Matthew had displayed. We appreciated the history. We spent the night in our RV. Such a peaceful night. Slept so well. Thank you Matthew

Very much a work in progress, but Matthew's vision for what this place can be is infectious, and the site itself is otherworldly and tied to a moment in history. For those who aren't staying overnight at the RV park, I recommend booking a tour in advance for a brief glimpse into this unique experience.

A must see experience. Matthew is a hard working, inspired individual with a wealth of information. The dog friendly campground was nice. Night sky full of stars.

Very cool place! We really enjoyed touri g the missile silo. Matthew is a wealth of knowledge about missile silos and this one in particular. He's full of energy and has a great vision for this place.

He's hoping to have his campground with electric and water open next season.

Matthew, we're wishing you all the luck! We will be keeping track of your progress and will stop in again when in the area. Thank you for hosting us!

Fantastic visit to Ad Astra for camping yesterday. Matthew was great at reaching out to confirm my arrival time via text, and very flexible with an evening arrival.

I was just looking for a camping spot on the way to Denver, but got a lot more than I bargained for. This is an out of the ordinary experience that is well worth the visit. Thanks Matthew, looking forward to seeing the completed projects you have underway and visiting again soon!

Matthew shared not only the silo and grounds, but his vision for the property he is working on. Wonderful tour! We wish him all the best in his restoration adventure! Highly recommend this adventure!

Mathew was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Definitely worth the stop if you are passing through, easily accessible off I70.

A must see piece of Americans history! Matthew was super knowledgeable of his silo and really explained everything in great detail! He a truely is truely a inspiration person! I literally can't wait to come back and go camping!

Fantastic! Definitely recommend for folks of all ages and their fur babies. The owners are very friendly and accommodating for both RV's and tents. Fun historical tour of the missile silo and beautiful landscape.

Incredible experience to see a decommissioned cold war nuclear missile silo in a fairly undisturbed state. The owners are very knowledgeable and passionate about both the history and the future of the site. If you're at all interested in military history or underground living this is a must see.
