So peaceful and serene in this little mountain oasis!
Hidden away within the mountains, there’s so much to see and do.
Hike through the mountains and even down to Colorado River. Rent kayaks at the property to drive them down, a 7 min drive off the property. Book an off road tour around the mountains and down to the river. Check out the world famous ghost town a few minutes away and even goon an underground mine tour.
It’s pure bliss and joy. A reset, a rest.
Available as a single person camping, all the way up to weekend retreats for the entire family.
This property is secluded and in a remote area with limited cell service. AT&T and Verizon have limited service, other carriers do not. This property is accessible by off road vehicle only, otherwise you may park your car in parking which is 4-7 minutes away from your tent by our shuttle. Off road vehicle means a 4x4 to drive over a rocky trail.
To access your tent, you will be required to schedule the shuttle for check in. A host will drive out to meet you to take you to your tent. Must be scheduled in advance. Check in is between 3pm and 9pm only. The host does not live on property and travels for your scheduled check in time.

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.

If I could give Abi a million stars for hosting an amazing property, I would! Very well kept, amazing views (desert land/plants, sunset, night sky, sunrise, all of it!), beautiful artwork and mini trails, basically more than anyone can ask for at a campsite. My husband, dogs and I enjoyed camping here so much we plan to visit again. It was nice that the whole area was to ourselves, it felt very private and safe. Would definitely recommend!

Our stay at Dan’s place in Lake Havasu City was nothing short of amazing. Truly! This was our first Hipcamp experience, and wow — the bar has been set so high. The location was peaceful and scenic, felt very private, and it was located just a short walk to Castle Rock Bay where our Florida dogs had a blast splashed and played in the water together.
Dan was a b*tchin' host too! He was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the area’s land and wildlife. We even went on a rock-hunting adventure through the refuge together at sunrise — such a truly unique and special experience!
The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire experience felt safe, beautiful, and welcoming. We only stayed two nights, but honestly, we could have stayed a month. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a genuine, nature-filled Arizona stay! 🌵✨

Our experience at Vegas Glamping was fantastic; everything we had imagined about this adventure came true, and more! Evelina’s and David's land is beautiful and perfectly set up for a relaxing yet exciting getaway.
The facilities were well thought out, making the stay comfortable and easy. The tent itself was spacious, cozy, and provided the perfect blend of nature and comfort. Every detail made the whole experience feel special and unique.
From start to finish, it was a great time that exceeded our expectations. We can’t recommend this glamping spot enough for anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure!. Evelina and David are the best hosts you can ask for. Totally recommended!

Such a special spot. I slept out under the desert stars in complete solitude (except for the company of jackrabbits and Joshua Trees). Place has vibey but not excessive artistic touches—perfectly representative of the environment. Good spot to camp and have a small fire. I really enjoyed my stay!

Oh my goodness this place! It was heaven! You need to be comfortable being remote because it really is just you. But the stars are so beautiful, the sunset was stunning and there is something so special about the peace it brings being so secluded. Roads are pretty rough getting to the camp but worth every bump aha.

Making the trip along Route 66 and wanted a camp ground and found this super private property with picnic table, fire pit and fun art sculptures! My wife and the dogs loved roaming the property and exploring around! The time we went provided a beautiful purple sunset, did have alittle bit of rain but that didn’t stop us! Very much recommend this inexpensive, get away camp site! Thank you!

Camping at Dan's place was as expected. It's a pretty simple lot where you can pull in, set up, and stay a night or however long will little to no work. It was a level spot and had electric hookups. There was a fire pit and picnic table too. I'd stay there again if I was passing through like we were on this trip.

David was a fantastic host and driver! He even remembered my dogs name on our pick up. Super upbeat and friendly.
The camping was remote and the accommodations were plush. Cozy bed with a throw blanket I would love to have in my own home.
The most quiet place I have ever been.

I read a bad review saying it was hard to find - this is completely false. The place was very easy to find from both Google maps and his instructions. Nice, peaceful setting with Joshua trees all around and windmills in the distance - they look close but they weren't close enough for us to hear them. The host was friendly, as was his dog, and he even gave us some fresh eggs from his chickens. We enjoyed the stay and found it well worth it.

Beautiful, charming campgrounds. Albeit feeling like “the middle of nowhere” once you brave the rumble of the dirt road you’re greeted by lit Joshua trees and a lovely common area. It was so quiet! Toilet is clean, with a lovely view. Will certainly book again if I’m ever needing a place while cruising the 40.

There is camping and there is the elevated experience that Abi offers. The site is more than we hoped for:
- The small kitchen and shade area was whimsical and practical. It felt like we were having dinner on a friend's patio.
- The outhouse was cleaner than any trail or state park bathroom I've ever used.
- The raised campsite area creates an ideallic view of sunsets and purple mountains and a platform for stargazing by the fire pit.
- We loved the nature trails that looped around the property. They enhance the desert experience. Our dogs loved all of the new smells and the freedom that most campsites do not afford them.
- There was so much creativity on this property: hidden curiosities everywhere you looked, warm desert colored designs.
- The campsite was very easy to get to, we live a few hours away and just wanted some unwind time. We had full phone service the whole time.
Abi's property sings while other campsites are unremarkable. She has found a way to convey everything there is to love about the desert - it's life, it's colors, it's creativity, it's freedom.
Truly, my husband and I will be talking about this two night experience for the rest of our lives.
