The best desert camping near Shoshone

·

Set in the Mojave’s dry expanse, Shoshone offers over 70 desert campsites where you’ll swap city noise for open sky and rugged ground. Expect wide views, red rock outcrops, and the kind of quiet you only find miles from anywhere. You’ll find campsites that allow campfires, toilets on site, and most spots welcome pets. Wildlife-watching and hiking are big here—keep an eye out for roadrunners or the occasional wild burro—and some sites even offer horseback riding. Prices start around $15, with the average closer to $45 a night. Top picks like Tarantula Ranch (243 reviews), Mojave Desert Ranch (188 reviews), and Retro Camper with Mountain Views (121 reviews) get high marks from campers who know their way around the desert. If you want raw landscape, star-filled nights, and a break from pavement, this pocket of Nevada won’t disappoint.

Tranqvillium was purchased in 2016 with the intention of creating Gaia Earthen Technologies Sustainable Living Educational and Research Center. Construction started in 2016 and now we have our first temporary building and working on the others. The daily operation is run by Tranqvillium, an intentional community of people who don't like to spend their money on rent and utility bills.Learn more about this land:The location is about an hour west of Las Vegas in the California Mojave Desert. Even though the lights of Vegas are visible on the Eastern horizon, above Tranqvillium there is no light pollution and the entirety of the visible part of the Milky Way is shining down on us. 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. The ancient lake bed where Tranqvillium is located is surrounded by medium height mountains, which are perfect for rock scrambling, and the world famous Red Rock climbing site is nearby too. The place is very rugged and is recommended for experienced campers who are not taken aback by wilderness living.
