Miss Kathy's Short Branch

39mi from Sunset Campground · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Crystal, NV

Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV. The closest town for gas and food is Pahrump which is about 20 minutes away. My place is perfect if you want to get away from the city for a little bit, or if you are traveling the country in your RV, trailer, or tent. My place is very unique if you are looking for a different place to stay other than an RV park. Good vibes only. :) Learn more about this land: I am located one hour away from Death Valley National Park and twenty minutes from Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge and Devil's Hole. And an hour to Las Vegas and Pahrump about twenty minutes away. Google Maps and GPS will sometimes get you lost. Please message me for better directions after booking.

I would avoid this campground and go somewhere else (Texas springs, Furnace creek, Stovepipe). Campsites are very close together, no privacy, and it gets WINDY. Not for tents, OK for RVs.

Lots of Spots

When everything else is full this large gravel campground likely still has space available. We visited on a busy holiday weekend and were able to get a spot here. Might not be the best campground nut for vam camping it was perfectly fine.
