Mesquite Spring Campground

Mesquite Spring is your chance to avoid crowds and recharge with some winter camping, minus the noise of RV engines (as many of the RV winter campers grab a spot at Stovepipe Wells first). Even if you miss winter, this year round spot is sure to stun you. Considered one of the prettiest campgrounds in Death Valley, with astounding spring wildflower shows, Mesquite offers 30 tent and RV sites, picnic tables, fire pits, water, flush toilets and a dump station. Park on the shoulder of Highway 190 and lose track of time as you hike into this surreal landscape of exquisitely curvaceous dunes surrounded on all sides by perilous mountain beauty. Sunset here is no joke. You may just catch it shimmering across the highest dune (which reaches 140 feet above sea level).

THINK TINY, THINK ADVENTURE Modern TINY (16') Home on Wheels was inspired and built with a desire for minimalism, clean lines and efficiency of space. It has all the modern amenities you need in the midst of Nature. Space is sufficient but limited. Tiny is located inside "Lone Pine Mobile Oasis" RV PARK, on the west side of HWY 395, and Lubken Canyon. There is Hwy noise and there are neighbors. Semi's do drive the Hwy during the night. Please preview location before booking. We do have WIFI! The space Our home is only 16' long (8'x16') but has a well-equipped kitchenette, full bath with a shower and a conventional toilet. The kitchenette has the basics and then some... a coffee maker, a portable induction cook top, pots and pans, cooking utensils, basic spices and condiments. It also has a Britta water pitcher/ filter for your convenience! The living / sleeping space is a twin size sofa / daybed with a pull out trundle. The foam mattress size is 38" x 75" for both beds. The top mattress is 8" thick with a weight capacity of 400 lbs and the trundle is 6" thick with a weight capacity of 250 lbs. This may not have enough support or may be uncomfortable for some. The dining space has a movable coffee table /bench /shoe rack/ storage with locking brakes and a lift up dining table / office desk. The bench also stores the 2nd comforter for the bottom bed. TINY is well insulated with Rockwool in all walls, ceiling and floor, has a built in mini split -AC/Heater with remote control, dual pane windows and doors, tinted glass and black out shades for your comfort and enjoyment. TINY only has 50 amps of power and the on demand water heater requires 50 amps. Only 2 lights are able to be used while taking a hot shower. THE BREAKER MAY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NEED TO BE RESET. (This has not happened in over a year but, just in case) CAUTION: Things appear smaller than they feel like inside! Driving up you may think, "OMG, it's so small", but after you step inside, you will hopefully feel, "WOW, it feels bigger than it looks". The 395 highway may be too close and light sleepers may feel it is still too noisy. Please do not book and leave a bad review if this would bother you.

Very far from sand dunes and most of the popular death valley sites but close to the Ubehebe Crater

Go early and snag a site in the lower loop if you're tent/car camping

Hot during the day and cold at night but the sunsets and star gazing is worth it.

I stayed here in March of 2016. This is an all-time favorite campground of mine. It's not very big and it's far into the park, so it stays quiet (also no RVs). There were just a few other campers spending the night when I was there. FANTASTIC spot for night sky viewing as there's no lights around.

Stayed here Dec 27, 2014, this is an awesome campsite. If you are a stargazer there is little to no ambient light to interfere with your view. camp ground is close to Scotty's Castle, and Ubehebe Crater. If you winter camp it can be cold dropped to 26 at nite
