Weekend Trip to Beagletopia - Your Quiet Escape!

Very quiet neighborhood with lots of space between the neighbors. Regina is very friendly and courteous.

Weekend Trip to Merlin Springs Secluded Camping

Host was communicative and the spot was great! Would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Water front on Topaz Lake

Great location, great campground and an awesome host!

1 night at Water front on Topaz Lake

Great site, perfect midway point between southern sierra’s and Bay Area that’s very peaceful and clean. Site was a bit hard to find as the billboard says something else but you’ll figure it out. Clean bathrooms too. Just wish host was a bit more communicative but no worries, we figured it out

1 night at Merlin Springs Secluded Camping

Loved this Hipcamp. Easy to find. Great communication from owner. The scenery and wildlife viewing are spectacular. Will return!

Weekend Trip to Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas

This is a charming Hipcamp location that was highly recommended, and I can confidently say it did not disappoint! This unique farm/homestead is an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the owners, who are truly the heart and soul of this homestead. They took the time to give me a tour, sharing insights about the farm's history and their ongoing projects, which added a personal touch to my stay. Location-wise, being within the city made it easy to explore nearby attractions, yet once on the property, you feel miles away from urban life. It’s the best of both worlds! Overall, my stay at this Hipcamp location exceeded all expectations. The combination of amazing hosts, surroundings, and unique experiences makes it a must-visit for anyone. I can’t wait to return.

Weekend Trip to Water front on Topaz Lake

We had a sweet and easy Saturday night in April as the only people here. We had a wonderful waterfront spot and enjoy skipping rocks and watching the pink sunset on the snowy mountains. Friendly host. All sites radically level. Very clean bathroom. Clear lake used mainly as a fishing spot.

4 nights at Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas

The perfect place for me and my dog, Ringo, to park our van. Private, quiet, safe and relaxing. The pool, outdoor shower and outdoor sink were added bonuses to my stay. The host couldn’t have been nicer. Convenient location and I will definitely stay here again if I am back in Vegas.

Weekend Trip to Flyte and Sparrow natural interlude

Great spot for my late arrival - gorgeous views the next morning when I woke up! Host was very helpful in getting me directions! I hope to return :)

1 night at Merlin Springs Secluded Camping

Beautiful spot and campsite with a picnic table, lawn chairs, a fire pit and some wood available. My only note about it is to check the local weather before going! It can be a very windy area, but that's all Mother Nature and doesn't detract from the beauty of the area. (:

1 night at Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas

nice, friendly place, helpful hosts. directions are accurate, shower and toilet are clean. everything was fine, I recommend it to everyone!

1 night at Herzog Homestead

A little noisey next to I-80, but great views of the mountains. The perfect way to wake up on a road trip.

3 nights at Water front on Topaz Lake

Great location on the water, beautiful, clean. Hook ups. We took granddaughters for 3 day camping trip, they loved it it. Clean,pretty, win win

1 night at Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas

A very cozy and family-friendly place, easy to find. Half Pint is a very kind and helpful host. Everything is clean and well-organized – I can only recommend it. Thank you very much!

5 nights at Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas

I don't know how this spot could be any better. Great place to park right next to a beautiful oval POOL and the bath/laundry room. Full hookups, safe, close to strip, beautiful property, lovely hosts, very pet friendly (mine were in heaven), very nice bathroom, washer, and dryer. Perfect. Will stay here from now on when I stop in Vegas every year.

Weekend Trip to Water front on Topaz Lake

Beautiful site right on the water, nobody there. Had a great fire woke up to a beautiful sunset.

1 night at Merlin Springs Secluded Camping

The site is as primitive as it is beautiful. We're lucky Shawna is sharing Merlin Springs with us and I left thinking of when I might return. Camping in the Nevada high desert is challenging but this place makes all the work and preparation worth it. Thanks again, Shawna!

3 nights at Water front on Topaz Lake

You can’t beat the views here. One of our favorites spots to date! We were fortunate enough to be able to meet Pam and she was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Hope to visit again!

Weekend Trip to Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas

Emily is an excellent host. Her fur baby assistant, Ginger, is a sweetie that loves all the attention! Everything is included: full power & water hook-ups, toilet & shower with shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, free use of the washer & dryer in the bathroom, and fresh eggs right from the hens. Even a small pool. Highly recommend them.

Lovely home. Nice location. The shower/laundry room was very nice. Loved the outdoor kitchen! Pool was dirty when we arrived but they cleaned it on the second day so my kid was able to swim. Overall was a nice stay.

Flyte and Sparrow natural interlude

13 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents96 acres · Reno, CA

When you come to camp here you are on a working farm in transition. Girlfarm has been a local food go to for restaurants, farm family members, and regenerative agriculture interests. Today, the farm is looking forward to a new course in agri tourism as we begin planning walking gardens, art installations in the landscape, and interactive classes. If you would like a list of grass fed meats available, veggies, or herbs just text your host BEFORE arrival. Please come visit in April May and June it is some of the most green and lush times in the high desert. It can also bring snow, winds, and rain. Be prepared- look at the forecast and contact you just directly if you have concerns We are looking for a seasonal self contained camper who we could offer trade for camp care - text host directly. Its been a huge water season so skeeters are around we also recommend tents have a rain fly and ground cloth. Welcome It was important to choose a partner like Hipcamp to invite like minded individuals who respect both the natural environment and the idea of less is more. At any time you may encounter farming activities, building out of tiny houses for future bookings, or gardens in the process of creation. As we move toward offering the land as a place to both find solitude or chosen participation our Flyte and Sparrow experience will hopefully be a place you will want to return to as your own tradition.

Schellraiser

92 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Mc Gill, NV

The Schellraiser music festival offers a variety of seasonal camping options on our 80-acre private campground in the cool high desert of far Eastern Nevada's Steptoe Valley, near the small town of McGill. Our Lotus Belle-brand bell tents are solar powered and fully furnished, with king-, queen- and twin-size beds, Avocado-brand mattresses, rugs, loveseats, floor lamps, charging ports and wi-fi service. Our campground also features two solar-powered shipping container homes; the larger of the two homes also has a small kitchen area and now serves as our clubhouse from Thursday through Sunday nights. Car camping and pitch-your-own-tent sites without power are available, as well, as are furnished yurts without power. We currently have a heated six-unit restroom/shower trailer on site. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, TO ENSURE THAT OUR CAMPGROUND MEETS YOUR EXPECTATIONS: We are a totally off-grid campground, in an extremely remote part of rural Eastern Nevada. To reach our campground, you must travel eight-tenths of a mile off the main highway, on a dirt road that is susceptible to flooding from record snowmelt from April to mid-July during wet years. Drivers with Teslas and other low-clearance vehicles are strongly advised to look elsewhere for lodging; Subaru drivers may actually enjoy the brief trip out. PLEASE READ ALL CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS, OUR FIRE BAN ADVISORY AND CAMPGROUND RULES BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR STAY WITH US. ABOUT THE AREA: Schellraiser is just minutes away from the High Schells and Bristlecone wilderness areas, and within an hour's drive of Nevada's wildest mountain and desert scenery. High peaks, rugged canyons, wild rock formations, natural hot springs and ghost towns are all around us, and the surrounding area is teeming with wildlife, including the state's largest elk herd. ABOUT US: We're the home base of the annual Schellraiser micro-fest, which brings bands like Ladytron, Mercury Rev, Blonde Redhead, Asleep At The Wheel, The Joy Formidable, Blitzen Trapper, Old 97's, Houndmouth, Death Valley Girls, Titus Andronicus, Nikki Lane, Shannon Shaw and BRONCHO to the nearby McGill Pool Park each June.

Garden Oasis in the Heart of Vegas

1 site · RV2 acres · Las Vegas, NV

Our property sits on 2 acres in the heart of Las Vegas. It is one of the original homesteads of Las Vegas which we are trying to take back to a homestead. The original owners of the property played a huge hand in the building of Vegas. As we have cleaned up the property treasures of a 100 years ago have been found all over the property. On the property you will find a huge garden out front that you are welcome to pick from. We also have over 50 trees on the property you are welcome to walk around and enjoy. If you find yourself in the duck coop or the chicken coop and find an egg you are welcome to enjoy it. Feel free to enjoy the pool, bbq and outside bathroom which has a shower, and full size washer and dryers. We are a smoke/drug free site please be respectful of this rule and violators will be asked to leave without refund. Because we are a "working hobby farm" you will see some weeds and you may even see a project or two we are working on, feel free to join in but please be understanding that in order for us to improve things it will get little messy and can take time to complete. Also, please check the weather before you book, Vegas if very hot during the summer months, if your rig doesn't have AC you will not be comfortable as night temps can be easily over 100.

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.

Mtn City Fishing Hunting camping

1 site · RV, Tent2 acres · Owyhee, NV

Thank you for checking out the Mountain City Hunters Camping Fishing site. This camping site is located just south of the border of Idaho by 16 miles and in the northern tip of Nevada. It's in an isolated location surrounded by 1000 of acres of BLM and Indian reservation land. The beautiful property sits directly on the Owyhee River with barbwire ole fencing required to keep the cattle out. Please cross over at your own risk when fishing on the 2 acres of open property. There are tons of trout available and we found the Fall to be one of the best times to catch them. We were there a few weeks ago 9/23 and picked up seven trouts in less than hours. Fun for all. There are tons of hunting spots in Idaho and Nevada in this area from Ducks, antelope, Deer, Elk, you call it! This site borders and just outside of the Duck Valley Reservation. We see hunters go up to Rio Tinto and across the Bridge to Nowhere, all within minutes of the Mtn city. The town of Mtn City is referred to as a Ghost town today. It was once busting with people back in the 1930's to 1977's with copper and silver mining in and and around the surrounding area. If you drive around, you will see ruined homes and mines that have been condemned now but it's certainly fun to take a hike or 4-wheel in the area and check it all out. Privacy, quiet, peace, and wild animals roam the area. Tons of hiking and off-roading trails everywhere can be found here. It's a quiet, peaceful area with a total of 14 very kind and helpful residents that live in town full-time. This camping area has a long 2 acres of running River along it for fishing. The water is low right now, FALL/WINTER 2023, because they are working on the dam which actually makes fishing better. Bring worms or even bacon. These fish are hungry. There is TONS of flat land on this site to serve several RV's and 1 POLE with 110 outlet, if needed. We have wifi for your convenience but once you leave the area, there is NO WIFI anywhere for many miles. A local small bar is located next to the property. It doesn't look like much from the outside but worth checking out. Great cold beer, whiskey, Bourbon just no wine can be found there. They also have a few slot machines and smoking is allowed inside. There is also food during the Late spring, summer, and early Fall after 5PM available for those who want a break. Rex runs this place and cooks the best. I recommend the Rex Burger. If you need a grocery store, gas, or even a few supplies, head north to Owyhee Reservation to the "Our Grocery or Ace Hardware". It is about a 15 min drive away. The closest city is Elko, 1.5 hours away, and or Boise 2.5 hours away. There is also a local health/urgent care in the town of Owyhee (Indian reservation) in case of emergency. Again, this is a very remote, private place many folks don't know about it. There is also several reservoirs with excellent fishing close by if you want to take a boat out there. Check out: Maning Reservoir Sheep Creek Reservoir Dry Creek Reservoir Wild horse Reservoir and many more. And the River is right on site. Please cross over the barbed wire on the property at your own risk. We are not responsible for getting yourself hooked up if that happens. There are spots you can pass through. Just be sure to leave the way it was when you leave, please. Well, we hope you consider this ole fun retreat and one more thing. The older building on the land is an old historic jail. We are working on it and in time we hope to Air B&B to use it. Give us another year for that. Enjoy, have fun, and be safe!
