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"

15. Flamingo Solitare

24mi from Grand Canyon West · 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
