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"

So peaceful and serene in this little mountain oasis!
Hidden away within the mountains, there’s so much to see and do.
Hike through the mountains and even down to Colorado River. Rent kayaks at the property to drive them down, a 7 min drive off the property. Book an off road tour around the mountains and down to the river. Check out the world famous ghost town a few minutes away and even goon an underground mine tour.
It’s pure bliss and joy. A reset, a rest.
Available as a single person camping, all the way up to weekend retreats for the entire family.
This property is secluded and in a remote area with limited cell service. AT&T and Verizon have limited service, other carriers do not. This property is accessible by off road vehicle only, otherwise you may park your car in parking which is 4-7 minutes away from your tent by our shuttle. Off road vehicle means a 4x4 to drive over a rocky trail.
To access your tent, you will be required to schedule the shuttle for check in. A host will drive out to meet you to take you to your tent. Must be scheduled in advance. Check in is between 3pm and 9pm only. The host does not live on property and travels for your scheduled check in time.

2 nights at Desert Glamping
Great little spot to park your tired bones while visiting the Grand Canyon. You definitely sink into the middle of the bed so hopefully you actually like cuddling with your partner! Incredible water pressure.

1 night at Vegas Glamping
This place is so great! The location is a little adventure and the area is quiet and so chill. My friend and I enjoyed our stay and slept with our tent open. Coming from the Joshua Tree desert, we get a lot of critters... not here. Besides a super friendly chipmunk, don't think it was Chippy but he was a fun little buddy to watch as he explored our space.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our experience at Vegas Glamping was fantastic; everything we had imagined about this adventure came true, and more! Evelina’s and David's land is beautiful and perfectly set up for a relaxing yet exciting getaway.
The facilities were well thought out, making the stay comfortable and easy. The tent itself was spacious, cozy, and provided the perfect blend of nature and comfort. Every detail made the whole experience feel special and unique.
From start to finish, it was a great time that exceeded our expectations. We can’t recommend this glamping spot enough for anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure!. Evelina and David are the best hosts you can ask for. Totally recommended!

David was a fantastic host and driver! He even remembered my dogs name on our pick up. Super upbeat and friendly.
The camping was remote and the accommodations were plush. Cozy bed with a throw blanket I would love to have in my own home.
The most quiet place I have ever been.

I read a bad review saying it was hard to find - this is completely false. The place was very easy to find from both Google maps and his instructions. Nice, peaceful setting with Joshua trees all around and windmills in the distance - they look close but they weren't close enough for us to hear them. The host was friendly, as was his dog, and he even gave us some fresh eggs from his chickens. We enjoyed the stay and found it well worth it.

Weekend Trip to Vegas Glamping
Trip started off with the incorrect price. I booked, paid, planned, then get told that what I wanted was $85 more... Then discovered the tent was only 1/2 fastened to the frame, the promise of a kitchenette and coffee was smoke... and the drinkable water container was only 10% filled. Would have also been nice to have a map of hikes and things to see. We had to ask and only got the vaguest of pointed out directions. It's an adventure... but there have to be better options.
