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.

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.

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)

Golden Camp Flats

8. Golden Camp Flats

49mi from Grand Canyon West · 1 site · Tent
Bass Camps Flats is a peaceful stretch of high-desert land where the horizon feels endless and the noise of the world finally fades out. Wide-open flats roll into subtle desert rises, offering panoramic scenic views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and some of the darkest night skies you’ll find this close to civilization. At night, the stars take over—perfect for stargazing, astrophotography, or just laying back by the fire and watching the Milky Way drift by. During the day, the land invites exploration: hiking, wandering washes, dirt bike riding, overland travel, and quiet off-grid camping. You’re far enough out to feel truly unplugged, yet close to Lake Mojave for fishing, swimming, boating, and day trips—plus easy access to Laughlin for supplies, food, and fuel. This is primitive desert camping at its best: raw, open, quiet, and grounding. No crowds. No neighbors. Just space, sky, and stillness.

Rollo Ranch

49mi from Grand Canyon West · 12 sites · RVs
Primitive camping! This 2 acre property is on flat, open, desert terrain and is accessed off road, so please be sure your RV or vehicle can drive off road. Located off I-40 ( old Route 66 ) in Holbrook, Arizona. No power, toilet, water, or sewage. You will need to drive ~1 mile or so off road to get to the provided coordinates.Just 49 miles away you have Castle Mountains National Park. You'll need a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle to get into this extremely remote national monument in the eastern Mojave Desert. Accessible only by dirt roads, Castle Mountains is surrounded on three sides by the Mojave National Preserve. It's the northernmost of the desert region's three new national monuments designated by the President in 2016. This park in northeastern San Bernardino County protects 20,920 acres, located between the interstates I−15 and I−40. There are no facilities, developed campgrounds, or established trails within the monument. Backcountry camping is allowed. Castle Peaks is one of the stars here—a cluster of imposing spires that climb skyward. The peaks are composed mainly of volcanic tuff, and the deep erosion of the rocks has created distinct, sharp summits. You're also rewarded for your efforts to get here by lush grasslands, Joshua tree forests, mountain vistas, and abundant wildlife. The rugged Mojave Desert is home to mountain lions, bighorn sheep, golden eagles, coyotes, and bobcats. Castle Mountains National Monument is always open, but the best times to come are spring and fall. March and April are peak times. The spring rains turn the desert into a carpet of vivid, vibrant wildflowers. Summers are very hot, with daytime temps in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

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.

No Roads actually make it to my property, The only way to get there is through the brush following game trails for just under half a mile.

It is about 5 miles south of the grand canyon western ranch up into the mountains. the road in crosses state lands and ranch lands, game and fish have a sign in sheet at the beginning of iron springs canyon road. Please leave gates as you found them. Once there you can pretty much park and camp anywhere but the last mile of road is serious 4x4.

Golden Camp Flats

8. Golden Camp Flats

49mi from Grand Canyon West · 1 site · Tent
Bass Camps Flats is a peaceful stretch of high-desert land where the horizon feels endless and the noise of the world finally fades out. Wide-open flats roll into subtle desert rises, offering panoramic scenic views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and some of the darkest night skies you’ll find this close to civilization. At night, the stars take over—perfect for stargazing, astrophotography, or just laying back by the fire and watching the Milky Way drift by. During the day, the land invites exploration: hiking, wandering washes, dirt bike riding, overland travel, and quiet off-grid camping. You’re far enough out to feel truly unplugged, yet close to Lake Mojave for fishing, swimming, boating, and day trips—plus easy access to Laughlin for supplies, food, and fuel. This is primitive desert camping at its best: raw, open, quiet, and grounding. No crowds. No neighbors. Just space, sky, and stillness.

Primitive camping! This 2 acre property is on flat, open, desert terrain and is accessed off road, so please be sure your RV or vehicle can drive off road. Located off I-40 ( old Route 66 ) in Holbrook, Arizona. No power, toilet, water, or sewage. You will need to drive ~1 mile or so off road to get to the provided coordinates.Just 49 miles away you have Castle Mountains National Park. You'll need a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle to get into this extremely remote national monument in the eastern Mojave Desert. Accessible only by dirt roads, Castle Mountains is surrounded on three sides by the Mojave National Preserve. It's the northernmost of the desert region's three new national monuments designated by the President in 2016. This park in northeastern San Bernardino County protects 20,920 acres, located between the interstates I−15 and I−40. There are no facilities, developed campgrounds, or established trails within the monument. Backcountry camping is allowed. Castle Peaks is one of the stars here—a cluster of imposing spires that climb skyward. The peaks are composed mainly of volcanic tuff, and the deep erosion of the rocks has created distinct, sharp summits. You're also rewarded for your efforts to get here by lush grasslands, Joshua tree forests, mountain vistas, and abundant wildlife. The rugged Mojave Desert is home to mountain lions, bighorn sheep, golden eagles, coyotes, and bobcats. Castle Mountains National Monument is always open, but the best times to come are spring and fall. March and April are peak times. The spring rains turn the desert into a carpet of vivid, vibrant wildflowers. Summers are very hot, with daytime temps in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

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

I bought some lots in a beautiful mountain valley. Now I just need a road Learn more about this land: Vacant Land 3.8 acres undeveloped. No Roads actually make it to my property, The only way to get there is through the brush following game trails for just under half a mile. You should have downloaded good maps for offline use, and have a GPS that works. The area is a gorgeous valley surrounded by mountains, with big granite boulders everywhere and rarely any people. It is about 5 miles south of the grand canyon western ranch up into the mountains. the road in crosses state lands and ranch lands, game and fish have a sign in sheet at the beginning of iron springs canyon road. Please leave gates as you found them. Once there you can pretty much park and camp anywhere but the last mile of road is serious 4x4.
