If they want to keep it secret build a fence and setup guard shacks etc...and dont let anybody 50 miles from it.

The closer you get, the stronger the countermeasures. There are sensors that detect your body heat; cameras strewn about, armed security in Ford Raptors before you even get close to anything important. Most sane people would stop at the signs, though.
I'm rather certain that helicopter gunships aren't out of the question to keep people away from the sensitive stuff.
