3. Flamingo Solitare

19mi from Dolan Springs · 1 site · Tent, RV
A beautiful slice of Mojave desert, a short detour off the road to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Here you'll find a broad assortment of iconic desert plants unique to the Mojave; ocotillo, barrel cactus, joshua trees, creosote bushes, a bunch of cool funky little succulents to name a few. Some majestic plastic flamingos add a touch of class, or perhaps they're delightfully tacky, you be the judge. This location provides stellar access for hiking, stargazing, off roading, dry panning for gold, , geologizing, mtn. biking and plinking. It would also be a great place to do a photo shoot for an album cover. 7 miles off the pavement, the last couple miles can be as civilized or as off roady as you'd like. The smoothest route in from the main Greg's Hideout dirt road is Left on Acanthus Rd, Right on Bass St, Left on Bay Leaf, (see pic). From here, you can drop it in 4wd and do some real exploring, 13 miles to Lake Mead via Hualapai Wash Rd or Greg's Hideout Rd. 31 miles to Temple Bar Marina. ~10 miles up to the abandoned Golden Gate gold mine

5. Desert Mountain Base Camp

5.1mi from Dolan Springs · 1 site · Tent, RV
Embark on an unforgettable camping adventure at the base of Mount Tipton, where the rugged allure of the Arizona desert beckons. For the ultimate experience, we recommend a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to conquer the untamed, winding roads that lead you deep into the heart of this wild landscape. Picture yourself navigating dusty trails framed by towering cacti and dramatic rock formations, the open road stretching toward the horizon, where every twist and turn reveals the raw, untamed beauty of the desert—perfect for 4x4 exploration. Spanning 31,520 acres of pristine wilderness managed by the Arizona Bureau of Land Management, this haven invites you to hike through sprawling vistas, find solace in the shade of iconic Joshua trees, and lose yourself under a boundless desert sky ablaze with stars. The warm embrace of the desert air wraps around you as you gaze at constellations shimmering with unparalleled clarity, unmarred by city lights. Tailored for hikers of all skill levels, this adventure offers trails to suit every pace. Challenge yourself with a strenuous trek to Mount Tipton’s summit, where panoramic views reward your effort, or savor a leisurely stroll through the desert’s vibrant ecosystem, alive with unique flora and fauna. After a day of exploration, retreat to your spacious campsite, where the serene silence of the desert invites relaxation. As night falls, gather around a crackling campfire to share tales of your day’s adventures or tilt your head back to marvel at the Milky Way’s celestial glow. While there’s no swimming hole here, you can cool off with a refreshing splash of water or simply bask in the desert’s tranquil embrace. This is more than a trip—it’s a journey into the soul of the Arizona wilderness, where every moment feels like a love letter to nature’s grandeur.
