Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

This was a great stay. Full hookups, bathrooms were clean, and you're walking distance to the general store for morning coffees.

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Cute property with nice bathrooms. Loved looking at the stars sitting in the chairs on the ridge. Liked how walkable it was to some of the shops in town.

4 nights at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

We enjoyed roof-tenting at Janille's tent sites. Hot during the day but pleasant at night. Windy but not dusty. A little buggy but no mosquitoes. The stream running behind the sites wasn't very easy to access, but the sound was nice to fall asleep to. Most important of all, the tent sites, bathrooms and showers were very clean.

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Solid stay with full hookups and squeaky clean bathroom and showers. Very convenient to Great Basin and appreciated the dark nights feature. No issues - everything went great!

1 night at Mom's RV Spot

Leo's space should be the blueprint of camping spots. Sooo close to the bright lights of Freemont, but far enough away to feel like you're away feom everything...if you want. Plenty of restaurants and stores for replenishing supplies (had to get new tires when I rolled in, and there was a tire shop ten minutes away). Clean, well established site withoughtful landscaping that will provide some much needed shade in the Nevada desert. Full hook up site that's easy to get into (even with my questionable backing skills BY MYSELF). Easy to find, good roads getting in. Leo came out and met me, delightful. Can't recommend this place enough. -F June, 2025

2 nights at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Was great for our needs. Everything worked perfectly. The bathroom and shower were very clean. Location was convenient for Great Basin. The local restaurant/ bar/ coffee house is a great place to stop.

2 nights at Merlin Springs Secluded Camping

We had such a wonderful time at this site! Our dog was able to explore freely as we enjoyed the peace and beauty of the area. Highly recommend!

1 night at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

It was so clean, the views were out of this world, and the sound of rushing water topped it all off! Incredible!

1 night at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Nice campsite. Had a creek flowing behind. That was nice to listen to. Primitive spot. No hookups.

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

5 Stars – Peaceful, Clean, and Close to Everything We absolutely loved our stay at this RV camp near Great Basin National Park! The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from the park entrance, but still quiet and peaceful. It was the perfect home base for exploring the area. The showers were a standout: super clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious. It’s clear that the owners take pride in keeping the facilities in top shape. Everything worked exactly as it should—hookups were reliable, the grounds were tidy, and we never had to worry about noise or crowds. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Great Basin and looking for a clean, quiet, and convenient place to park and relax.

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Very quiet and clean, 50A hookups were great. Very close proximity. Enjoyed the Friday Market in town.

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Great site! Super quiet. Has awesome private bathroom and showers plus laundry machines. Gas pumps and dump station right in front of the sites make it a perfect overnight place to stay. Would definitely recommend! Thanks!!

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Awesome site with clean bathrooms! Within walking distance of the whole town.

3 nights at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

This campground is a great place to stay while visiting Great Basin National Park, a true hidden gem in the National Park System and Baker is a nice, quirky little town. While currently short on character, the campground is not lacking in any way. Easy access, full hookups, clean restrooms with nice hot showers, and an owner who is very responsive and obviously investing in expanding and improving the campground. Would gladly stay here again and are sure it will only get better as she plants trees and adds sites.

1 night at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Small RV park of gravel between a gas pump station and a private ranch. Small store/restaurant just 1 minute walk (kind of expensive). No issues with noise from nearby main toad, decent ambiance with old wood cabin decomposing behind campsites. We stopped overnight half-way between Reno NV and Bryce Canyon UT. No staff on-site, except when I saw them cleaning the bathroom. Clean restroom/shower rooms. A few motel rooms also available. Full RV hook-ups (electrical, potable water, sewage). Plenty of space to back straight in and leave a truck/trailer attached if desired.

3 nights at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Great location adjacent to Great Basin National Park. 5 space RV park with 50 Amp electric service, water and sewer hookups, showers and laundry room. Janille was very responsive and helpful. Thanks for the stay!

2 nights at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

This is a great RV spot! We needed a place with hookups so we could leave the AC on for our cat (it was hot out) when exploring Great Basin.. and this place exceeded our expectations! Super clean bathroom; level sites and across the street from the amazing Bristlecone General Store (great coffee and amazing snacks)! 10/10- would stay here again! :)

2 nights at Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Amazing views of Great Basin! Easy access to the National Park and right on the edge of all the town has to offer. Thank you Janille for being a great host.

Weekend Trip to Merlin Springs Secluded Camping

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Merlin Springs. The site is nestled up against a little wetland and cluster of cottonwood trees. It’s so incredible to be in such a lush environment while surrounded by desert. The air was full of birdsong. It is truly serene and peaceful. We will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

Very easy access to all sites, utilities worked great and proximity to Great Basin NP can’t be beat!

Beagletopia - Your Quiet Escape!

1 site · RV1 acre · Enterprise, NV

Las Vegas has been booming for years, but we snagged this quiet little gem before it got too wild. Nestled off the beaten path on a peaceful road, our spot gives you the best of both worlds—easy access to all the Strip’s action, yet far enough away to unwind in serenity. We’re proud to be home to the Southern NV Beagle Rescue Foundation, lovingly dubbed Beagletopia. You might even catch some adorable beagle vibes while you’re here! Perfect for campers who want a chill retreat with a dash of Vegas flair. Come pitch your tent, park your rig, or just soak in the desert calm—your escape awaits! About This Land: Roll up to your own desert oasis—a dry camping haven for self-contained RVs (pack your generator, no power hookups here!). Gaze out at endless desert vistas, with the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip just 9 miles—or 15 thrilling minutes—away. You’re a stone’s throw from shopping, the Raiders practice stadium, and I-15 (5 min), with Red Rock Canyon’s rugged trails (25 min) and Mt. Charleston’s cool pines (1 hr) begging to be explored. Your Stay Makes a Difference: By choosing to stay with us, you’re not just escaping to the desert—you’re also supporting our local nonprofit dog rescue, giving lovable beagles a brighter future. As you settle in, keep an eye out for the desert’s wild residents—speedy roadrunners, curious jackrabbits, or coyotes if you’re lucky! You might hear the occasional joyful bark or gentle howl as the dogs greet the day, but it’s far from a constant clamor.

This property offers five campsites, situated in a natural, secluded area that was once a pond.

Mom's RV Spot

2 sites · RVs1 acre · Las Vegas, NV

Welcoming camp experience in the Las Vegas area. Private RV spot tucked away on a large lot in a quiet neighborhood, yet only 15 minutes to the downtown Fremont Street Experience, and about 25 minutes to the large strip properties like Caesars Palace and MGM. Las Vegas has a lot to offer, but we have you covered with the RV spot. We are in the NW valley with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. When the sun goes down over the Spring Mountains and Mount Charleston beautiful colors illuminate evening clouds. We are in somewhat of a rural area, so you might see bats in the evening, and bunnies in the morning. We have even seen coyote, owl, and of course lots of geese flying between golf courses in the morning during many months of the year. We are away from the city lights, so nighttime can be quite dark, but the moon can be a spectacular site in the night sky. Red Rock Canyon is 16 miles away. Many of our guests enjoy the scenic beauty or climbing opportunities in Red Rock. Nevada's newest state park, Ice Age Fossils State Park, is just a few miles away and offers a glimpse into prehistoric time in the region. If you enjoy ziplining then check out Slotzilla at Fremont Street or on the Las Vegas strip at the LINQ. Our Hipcamp comes equipped with water, electrical service (both 30amp and 50amp), and a sewer connection.

Antelope Run Ranch

16 sites · RVs, Tents41 acres · Valmy, NV

April '24 has gotten a lot added already with more on the way. The first of many Hitching Posts (by request from guests) has been added to Site B02 along with a grill. Site B03 now has a more additions coming. Better signage. Approximate distances (again suggested by guests) with pictures will be sent once booked. I hope everyone is ready for a CampTastic 2024 🤠 WOW, what a turn out for the Annular Solar Eclipse. All my guests were extremely wonderful people. We had a blast talking story. The great vibes we all put out actually gave us a perfect window to view the main event unfettered. The clouds parted and gave us the entire 5 plus minutes to view the full RING OF FIRE. I'm hopeful our guests will post some of their gorgeous photos captured. Antelope Run Ranch spans over 40 acres and currently offers four different sites for accommodation. There are three operational campsites that receive regular monthly improvements. The cabin site is currently unavailable for rent, as a composting outhouse and shower room are in the planning stages. The property features an old dry river bed running through the center of the property. A potable water system is pending installation on-site; guests are advised to bring their own water until then. Waste disposal services are not yet available, so guests are requested to make alternative arrangements for their waste. Each of our Camp Sites alone provide you with so much space, not including the vastness of the Ranch itself, but also the multitude of BLM land to explore. Eventually every "Dispersed" Site will have a central location for all guests or groups of friends to congregate...Get together and cook, eat and just relax and enjoy each others company, while allowing those in the party to be able to slink away to the comfort and quiet of their own Travel Trailer or RV. The Antelope Run Ranch is a gateway to adventure, catering to those with an adventurous spirit. Whether you enjoy star gazing, rock hounding, hiking, hunting, or simply exploring the sandy landscape, the ranch offers a range of experiences. The Pumpernickel Valley's vast openness provides a serene environment. Any 4x4 vehicle is welcome and required, as the sand can be soft. Feel free to bring your sand toys and embrace the countless opportunities for exploration in the valley. During the day, you can bask under the clear skies and remember to apply sunblock. At night, bring firewood and warm blankets to appreciate the experience fully. Guests can reach the nearby Humboldt River via UTV, ATV, or other desert-running vehicles to the south and west of the property. While mountains surround the area, the immediate surroundings are perfect for exploration. If you forget something, the city of Battle Mountain can be found to the east on I-80. Pack your adventurous spirit and escape from it all at Antelope Run Ranch. A small cabin labeled A01 (currently on pause for upgrades with others on the drawing board) is situated on the northeast corner of the property, offering accommodation for two people. The cabin includes a small wood burner and a skylight, primarily serving as a base camp for hunting. On the southwest corner, site B01 is equipped with a picnic table, bench, fire pit, and BBQ, providing a comfortable, relaxing spot. This site is located adjacent to 1,292 acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land on the west side, and the entire valley is filled with BLM land for exploration. Access to the property involves traveling dirt roads and soft sand, so no matter what type of vehicle, or RV you have, it needs to be four wheel drive. Once past the power plant, you'll leave the black top, which ends around six miles away from the property (detailed pictures for waypoints will be provided a day or two before your arrival date). If you plan on bringing trailers or camping equipment, be prepared for soft sand throughout the area, again 4x4 is a must. Once you've made your reservation and received the coordinates, get ready for an authentic getaway experience. Embrace the isolation and admire the clear night skies of Pumpernickel Valley, a genuine escape nestled between Battle Mountain and Winnemucca, Nevada, north of the I-80. Signage has been installed to provide a much easier path to the Antelope Run Ranch as of 23 July 2023 As of May 22, 2023, a solar-powered cellular security camera has been installed on the northeast corner, providing a view looking southwest, approximately 300 feet behind Cabin A01. Upon booking, you'll be provided access to check it out if requested. The first few trees (tiny for now) have been planted on the property, with more to come. The establishment of potable water for guests and tree watering is in progress. At Antelope Run Ranch, you can set up your tent, RV, camper trailer, overland rig, or stay in a cabin for an additional fee. Get ready, our next addition will be Hitching Posts, we've had a few requests, so we will position at least one at each Site, and multiple throughout the area. So ready the Horses, let the exploration begin. Please note that the ranch is located in a high desert environment, and temperature swings between day and night can be significant. Guests are advised to be mindful of the surrounding nature, including snakes, scorpions, mosquitoes, coyotes, and other wildlife that roam the land. If the need arises and I am unable to assist you in any way, I do have a few buddies in the area that may be of assistance. Please reach out for directions from me once booked, Google and Apple maps have been unreliable as of recent. I have directions and pictures to share once booked. Signage has been set up, navigation to Antelope Run Ranch will be that much simpler now! Closest Hospital: Battle Mountain General Hospital 535 S.
