Currently in May/June not reachable for the public, something is being worked on there. Fences, cameras and security secure the area extensively.

If you're in the area, be sure to plan at least an hour. Parking is free. It feels like you're on another planet. The trails are very easy, you can visit the ruins of the windmill, and it's simply wonderful. Highly recommended, even with a dog.
