Why Laser Town?

Laser Town, a 40-acre enclave near Hammertown in Johnson Valley, was established by rock-crawler Cody Waggoner, owner of Lasernut. Originally a small retreat among friends, Cody expanded the compound over time, creating a unique desert oasis. The site features a container home built from eight 40-foot containers, a shelter, a lake, a pool, a hammock tower, and the "Laser Town Express," a full-size school bus repurposed for desert excursions. Surrounded by a protective berm, Laser Town offers a safe haven amidst the often chaotic environment of Johnson Valley. While it serves as a gathering spot for many, access is by invitation only.
