Meadview Arizona was founded in 1826 by Jedediah Smith on his Southwest Expedition in search for Beaver! Staying a small remote and quiet town it can feel like it would have in the Wild West.
We obtained our campground from a couple that owned it for 20 years but just weren't able to do to it what they had originally planned.. So it was essentially a blank canvas for us to create!! We are the closest town to the Grand Canyon SKYWALK, which is just 40 minutes from us. Meadview, the town we are located, is the only place to obtain Free Entree to the Lake Mead Recreational Center. Our Campground just 10 miles from Lake Mead and 17 Miles from the Colorado River. We have outstanding Lookouts, Top notch Stargazing, Gold Prospecting, Bird Watching, Fishing, Off Roading etc.
Some of the Best Desert Off-Roading through trails within the Joshua Tree National Forest, Please note you must bring your own OHV, horse, etc, there is currently no rentals available. We do have Kayaks to rent upon arrival. There is a hidden water fall in the Grapevine Wash that you can get to with a 4 wheel vehicle and you hike in about 15 minutes in. Stunning views and gorgeous natural spring and waterfall.
We are 45 minutes off the 93 Freeway
Free WIFI provided at the office!.. The town doesn't always have a powerful signal, please keep that in mind in your travels. However, if you have Verizon, it gets GREAT service!
There are three restaurants in town, all just one mile from site... The Boathouse, Anchor Smokehouse and Fishermans Landing Bar. We have a Bakery called Rosemary and Thyme that serves Delicious foods & Pastries and makes great coffees. There is also a Gas n Grub that has ice, propane etc... 5 miles away is a Family Dollar store which we lovingly call the "Mall of Meadview"

High desert, with lots of Juniper trees and other mixed vegetation.
No car or tent camping.
Elevation - 3800 feet, not too cold in the winter, gets to 100+ in summer.
Rainy season, is late June through September.
Our 3 sights are all level gravel, 50amp, 30amp and 1 non hookup site.
Imagine yourself sitting out in the warm evenings looking up at the wonderous, star filled sky. Or watching the sun set over the Hualapai Mountains, or getting up early to catch the sun rising over the Aquarius Mountains.
The Hualapai Mountain hiking trails and Lodge (Great food with Mountain views) are within half an hour drive.
The City of Kingman is also half an hour away west on hwy 40. Where there are Wineries, Breweries, Museums, Restaurants and ample shopping, including, of course, a Walmart.
Other nearby fun places to explore:
Follow the famous Mother Road - "Route 66." Where you can:
Visit Peach Springs and drive to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, have a picnic by the beach and splash in the Colorado River.
Take a picture by the 3 dimensional Route 66 sign.
Drive up the 22 mile Sidewinder (191 curves), to the old restored mining town of Oatman, with all kinds of little shops, and a daily gunfight. And be sure to meet the Mayor of Oatman, who is actually one of many locals wandering freely through town, descended from the original Donkeys owned by the miners when they abandoned the town. Yes the mayor is a Donkey, and watch it because he may try to steel your bag if it contains candy or food.
Keep driving down old Rte 66 to Topic, have a drink sitting in one of the Butt Chairs at the bar, or outside overlooking the Marina.
Next drive 40 minutes to Lake Havasu, where there are many great experiences, including hanging out in a little piece of London with Restaurants, Bars and shops along Lake Havasu (Colorado River), under the actual London Bridge. Which was disassembled stone by stone, numbered, shipped and reassembled. Now bridges the City to the Island.
Not too far from here is the Grand Canyon West Entrance. View it's Grandness walking out over the Canyon on the Amazing Glass Skywalk. You can go river rafting, ziplining and explore cultural exhibits depicting ancient village life.
Do all this from our home base - "Wanderer's Rest."

Purchased this land for my father who loved living on his own in stark conditions. The property literally came with a shack on it. He loved shifting for gold with one of the neighbors in the desert up the road. He has since passed and the shack was torn down due to normal wear making it unstable.Me and my wife plan to put a home on it in the future, but felt it would be nice to allow adventurous types to stay on the property for the cheap.Learn more about this land:(Directions at bottom of description)The property is up on a hill surrounded on 2 sides (W/N) by BLM land with an overlook of Lake Mead. Just 10 miles from lake access (downhill) inside Lake Mead recreational area. Also, about 9 miles from Grand Canyon West access point. The property once had a shack on it, which is now gone - some remnants remain. But, there are flat drive areas in which to park (RV ok) and/or tent camp. Property is a little rough, but the views are gorgeous! From the property you can see Lake Mead, the west wall of the Grand Canyon, and an overlook of the town of Meadview. There are other residents in the area, but are far away, but visible (it is a desert). But, the property is absolutely quiet and peaceful.There is no electric, water, or facilities - so, it is primitive (or self-contained) camping. There is a fire-ring, but you must bring your own wood. There is some limited shopping and restaurants in town (Meadview or Dolan Springs) and on the main road (Pierce Ferry). We plan to build on the property in the future, but wish to share it with others until then. Definitely for the rugged at heart or self-contained camper.General location:* 9 miles after grand canyon walkway turn-off* 1.5 miles after General Dollar (on left)*** before historical marker and turn-off to Meadview (on right)Directions (from Pierce Ferry - heading north):* Turn left at Newport (next road after King Tut [on right])* Turn right on Caribbean (dead end sign straight ahead)* Turn right on Starlight Way (end of nicely graded road with house up-hill on left)* Property at top of hill on right - at Starlight Way and Starlight Circle IntersectionGPS coordinates of property: 35.9845206, -114.0983649Other useful information:Closest restrooms are 11 miles north on Pierce Ferry - at boat ramp (all paved road)or in Meadview proper (at restaurants and gas stations)

Backcountry Camp offers primitive desert camping near Lake Mojave with wide-open space, incredible stargazing, and a true off-grid experience. It’s ideal for hikers, dirt bike riders, overlanders, and campers seeking privacy, silence, and authentic backcountry vibes—while still close enough for lake days and supply runs.
This is true backcountry-style camping: wide, untamed land with sweeping desert views, open skies, and a deep sense of space that makes everything slow down.
Days are made for exploring on foot, hiking desert terrain, dirt bike and off-road riding, and wandering quiet washes that feel untouched. The land is open and forgiving, ideal for overland rigs, vans, dirt bikes, and minimalist campers who want room to move and breathe.
When night falls, the desert really shows off. Stargazing here is unreal—no city glow, no campground lights, just stars stacked on stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Campfires (when legal) bring warmth and stillness, and the silence feels intentional, not empty.
You’re close to Lake Mojave for daytime adventures like fishing, boating, or swimming, yet far enough away to feel completely disconnected from crowds and noise. Laughlin is within reach for supplies, but Backcountry Camp stays firmly rooted in solitude.
This is a place for people who want space, quiet, and authenticity—no amenities, no distractions, just land and sky.

But, the property is absolutely quiet and peaceful.There is no electric, water, or facilities - so, it is primitive (or self-contained) camping. There is a fire-ring, but you must bring your own wood. There is some limited shopping and restaurants in town (Meadview or Dolan Springs) and on the main road (Pierce Ferry). We plan to build on the property in the future, but wish to share it with others until then. Definitely for the rugged at heart or self-contained camper.General location:* 9 miles after grand canyon walkway turn-off* 1.5 miles after General Dollar (on left)*** before historical marker and turn-off to Meadview (on right)Directions (from Pierce Ferry - heading north):* Turn left at Newport (next road after King Tut [on right])* Turn right on Caribbean (dead end sign straight ahead)* Turn right on Starlight Way (end of nicely graded road with house up-hill on left)* Property at top of hill on right - at Starlight Way and Starlight Circle IntersectionGPS coordinates of property: 35.9845206, -114.0983649Other useful information:Closest restrooms are 11 miles north on Pierce Ferry - at boat ramp (all paved road)or in Meadview proper (at restaurants and gas stations)

Backcountry Camp offers primitive desert camping near Lake Mojave with wide-open space, incredible stargazing, and a true off-grid experience. It’s ideal for hikers, dirt bike riders, overlanders, and campers seeking privacy, silence, and authentic backcountry vibes—while still close enough for lake days and supply runs.
This is true backcountry-style camping: wide, untamed land with sweeping desert views, open skies, and a deep sense of space that makes everything slow down.
Days are made for exploring on foot, hiking desert terrain, dirt bike and off-road riding, and wandering quiet washes that feel untouched. The land is open and forgiving, ideal for overland rigs, vans, dirt bikes, and minimalist campers who want room to move and breathe.
When night falls, the desert really shows off. Stargazing here is unreal—no city glow, no campground lights, just stars stacked on stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Campfires (when legal) bring warmth and stillness, and the silence feels intentional, not empty.
You’re close to Lake Mojave for daytime adventures like fishing, boating, or swimming, yet far enough away to feel completely disconnected from crowds and noise. Laughlin is within reach for supplies, but Backcountry Camp stays firmly rooted in solitude.
This is a place for people who want space, quiet, and authenticity—no amenities, no distractions, just land and sky.

Camp spot was easily driveable by any vehicle, spacious, gave you the out in nature feeling without the trouble of driving into the unknown and hoping to find a spot. It was very peaceful and quiet. They also offer use of a washer and dryer, which is a really nice option for travelers.
My sense of direction isn’t great so when I needed help to find my way the hosts were very kind and helpful to guide me. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to get away from the city and explore the peaceful area of Golden Valley.

Absolutely adored this quick overnight stay. The place was so secure, with a keypad gate to enter and exit. The cabin was small but had everything I needed and was warm upon arrival. Super dog friendly and safe for a single woman traveler and her pup. If I’m ever in the area again I would love to stay here!

The views are beautiful. There is a common area where campers can chill with each other and get info on local beauty. The people managing the grounds are very easy to get along with. I would highly recommend stopping here if you can. The bathrooms and shower
are very clean. The people are chill. I’ll be back.

There is a common area to meet up with other travelers, which was a great opportunity to learn where to see sites that are not so ‘touristy’. I highly recommend. Say hi to Dave for me. 🙂

Kirk and Deana have a beautiful property that is everything you could dream of! Wish we could have stayed longer, and we even added an extra night (which they were very accommodating about). We arrived late the first night in bad weather, and Kirk stayed in contact with us to make sure we made it safe and even took the trouble to meet us in his vehicle in the dark so we had a guide. The road during the day/in clear weather is rutty as described in their listing, but very doable (we are used to going off pavement). We just happened to come during a down pour. As promised, once you get up the drive the spot to park is leveled out with easy gravel. There is a very nice trail system that is beautiful for a nice morning walk right outside your camper/tent door, about 1/4 mile long and you could choose to explore further. We took their itinerary suggestion of Oatman to see the wild donkeys and it was the highlight of our trip that we would have missed otherwise if not for the suggestion, highly recommend following their itinerary. Would absolutely book again, Kirk and Deana were very warm and kind, and made sure to be available to your needs while also giving you space to enjoy your site and nature.

This place is so great! The location is a little adventure and the area is quiet and so chill. My friend and I enjoyed our stay and slept with our tent open. Coming from the Joshua Tree desert, we get a lot of critters... not here. Besides a super friendly chipmunk, don't think it was Chippy but he was a fun little buddy to watch as he explored our space.

Weekend Trip to Vegas Glamping
What can I say to express how wonderful Vegas Glamping is??? Our stay was the absolute best of the best!!! We came to Nevada from North Carolina and wanted to stay at our new home away from home instead of going onto Las Vegas!
The night sky was extraordinary with the most was beautiful view! Our tent was cozy, clean, and the bed so comfy…perfect! We loved grilling every meal on the fire pit…eggs, bacon, asparagus, steak, grilled cheese, and s’mores. We went “ATVing”, with Evalina’s husband as our guide, which was a blast. The scenery was amazing. It almost felt like we were in a picture book. Evalina made sure everything was perfect. She is a beautiful woman, inside and out!

It was Great to get a chance to Rest that night in your own quiet place for the evening and hearing the neighbors rooster early in the morning it was nice. It reminded me of a couple days I spent in Hawaii at a hip camp roosters going off early in the morning. Thank you.

I loved camping at Lori’s Field. It was perfect for our needs traveling with a 19’ Sprinter van and also rented #1 cabin, due to my husband getting a bad cold and wanting to allow him to be in his own environment for rest. The cabin had all the necessary facilities including shower, toilet and sink. Along with a microwave, kerig coffee pot and small fridge. Also grateful for the electric hookup for van. Easy directions and close enough to town for all your needs.
