Bullfrog doesn't need a haunted reputation — the empty streets do the talking. Bullfrog County was a county in the US state of Nevada created by the Nevada Legislature in 1987. It comprised a 144-square-mile (370 km2) area around Yucca Mountain enclosed by Nye County, from which it was created.
Nye County County holds 10 documented ghost towns, including Beatty, Cactus Springs, Currant — Bullfrog keeps them company on the map.
The story of Bullfrog
Nevada is ghost-town central: the Comstock made it a state, and a century of played-out bonanzas kept it in ruins.
Bullfrog County was a county in the US state of Nevada created by the Nevada Legislature in 1987. It comprised a 144-square-mile (370 km2) area around Yucca Mountain enclosed by Nye County, from which it was created. Its county seat was located in the state capital of Carson City 270 miles (430 km) away, and its officers were appointed by the governor rather than elected.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.
