The best campervan parks near Shoshone

·

Roll into Shoshone with your campervan and you’ll find over 1,000 places to park up, starting at just $5 a night and averaging around $41. Sites here sprawl across the edge of Death Valley and into the Mojave, where dry lakebeds and creosote scrub stretch to the horizon. Top picks like Tarantula Ranch (237 reviews), Mojave Desert Ranch (182 reviews), and Death Valley Stargazing Camp (201 reviews) give you wide-open sky and easy access to desert trails. Look for spots with toilets, potable water, and fire pits—basics you’ll want in this stark, wild landscape. Climbing, snow sports, and wildlife watching are all on tap, but don’t skip a night stargazing; the sky here is pitch black and crowded with stars. If you’re after room to roam and a patch of sand to call your own, Shoshone delivers.

Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV. The closest town for gas and food is Pahrump which is about 20 minutes away. My place is perfect if you want to get away from the city for a little bit, or if you are traveling the country in your RV, trailer, or tent. My place is very unique if you are looking for a different place to stay other than an RV park. Good vibes only. :) Learn more about this land: I am located one hour away from Death Valley National Park and twenty minutes from Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge and Devil's Hole. And an hour to Las Vegas and Pahrump about twenty minutes away.  Google Maps and GPS will sometimes get you lost. Please message me for better directions after booking.

Tecopa Hot Springs is 30 min West from us, along with China Ranch date farm. From China ranch it's a 40 min hike through Mars like terrain to a swimming hole complete with a small waterfall, where the Amargosa River comes above ground.
