This is a groovy little spot where the power lines meet. Located a block away from Treasure RV Park on Highway 160 just north of Pahrump, NV. You can visit Treasures just across the streetMark’s restaurant AAA+ food, gambling, and the bowling alley right across the street, and still return easily to this private lot. Treasures is a great little oasis to visit, and a short walk back to camp and have more privacy then staying directly on treasures site and avoiding vehicle age requirements.There are cactus ,sage, river rock and an old desert tortoise you might spot named Mort on the property. It’s a small plot of land but it will fit up to you a 45 foot bus or a truck and longer trailer. I have parked my 40’ school bus conversion there from time to time.the property is right outside of Pahrump in a convenient location with beautiful Mountain View’s. Treasures RV park is right across the street and makes for a perfect desert oasis near death Valley.

I loved our space,we had neighbors that were pretty nice,saw a couple snakes which was scary at first but they weren’t bad company.The bed and room we got was super comfy and a lot bigger than I expected and I absolutely loved the outside shower.I would definitely come back but probs stay at another one of there places just to get a new experience.I did however prefer the ravens area more than the little house or wagon (just looking) because we had more kitchen space.
