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.

Escape the Strip Without Leaving the Magic Behind
Las Vegas may be booming, but we found this hidden desert treasure before the crowds discovered it. Tucked away on a quiet, peaceful road just far enough from the neon lights, our spot gives you the perfect mix: easy access to all the excitement of the Strip (only 9 miles / 15 minutes away), yet serene enough to truly unwind under the stars.
Welcome to Beagletopia — home of the Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation. While you’re here, you might spot a happy beagle or two enjoying their forever home or temporary home. It’s a one-of-a-kind desert retreat where you can pitch your tent, park your RV, or simply soak in the calm — all while knowing your stay supports a great cause.
About This Land
Roll up to your own private desert oasis — a true dry-camping haven designed for self-contained RVs and tents (bring your generator — no hookups here).

Your Stay Makes a Real Difference

Backcountry Camp offers primitive desert camping near Lake Mojave with wide-open space, incredible stargazing, and a true off-grid experience. It’s ideal for hikers, dirt bike riders, overlanders, and campers seeking privacy, silence, and authentic backcountry vibes—while still close enough for lake days and supply runs.
This is true backcountry-style camping: wide, untamed land with sweeping desert views, open skies, and a deep sense of space that makes everything slow down.
Days are made for exploring on foot, hiking desert terrain, dirt bike and off-road riding, and wandering quiet washes that feel untouched. The land is open and forgiving, ideal for overland rigs, vans, dirt bikes, and minimalist campers who want room to move and breathe.
When night falls, the desert really shows off. Stargazing here is unreal—no city glow, no campground lights, just stars stacked on stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Campfires (when legal) bring warmth and stillness, and the silence feels intentional, not empty.
You’re close to Lake Mojave for daytime adventures like fishing, boating, or swimming, yet far enough away to feel completely disconnected from crowds and noise. Laughlin is within reach for supplies, but Backcountry Camp stays firmly rooted in solitude.
This is a place for people who want space, quiet, and authenticity—no amenities, no distractions, just land and sky.

Bass Camps Flats is a peaceful stretch of high-desert land where the horizon feels endless and the noise of the world finally fades out. Wide-open flats roll into subtle desert rises, offering panoramic scenic views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and some of the darkest night skies you’ll find this close to civilization.
At night, the stars take over—perfect for stargazing, astrophotography, or just laying back by the fire and watching the Milky Way drift by. During the day, the land invites exploration: hiking, wandering washes, dirt bike riding, overland travel, and quiet off-grid camping.
You’re far enough out to feel truly unplugged, yet close to Lake Mojave for fishing, swimming, boating, and day trips—plus easy access to Laughlin for supplies, food, and fuel.
This is primitive desert camping at its best: raw, open, quiet, and grounding. No crowds. No neighbors. Just space, sky, and stillness.

3 nights at Vegas Glamping
Evelina’s property was wonderful! We were looking for something unique and we found it! The desert scenery was beautiful and we really enjoyed seeing some of the wildlife while we were hiking. The bed was comfortable and the little finishing touches in the tent made it feel very quaint. We really enjoyed how truly secluded you are out on her property. We were close enough to explore Boulder City and get a little break from the record temps. Highly recommend the UTV tour she offers. It’s a fantastic way to see the Colorado river. Would love to return someday with friends!

We really enjoyed our stay at this location! It was quiet, extremely well maintained, close to all of the Las Vegas attractions that we wanted to see and fully staffed. We loved the nice laundry facility and the clubhouse area. While we were there, there was a potluck/cookout that was a lot of fun. We were able to have some packages shipped to the office to stock up on supplies, which was a huge help to us since we are always on the road. We definitely hope to stay again when we are back in Las Vegas!

Nothing fancy, just a large flat dirt lot in a quiet neighborhood. Host never came out or spoke to us. But getting to watch the adorable llamas and Fergie the camel just feet from our van was a huge plus. Decent view of the city lights in the distance. Felt safe, was just what we needed for a quick stop over night. Would stay here again.

The hosts were understanding when I got in later than expected the first night. The property is pleasant and secluded, yet close to the Strip and tourist attractions. I liked the nice accessible bathroom outside next to where I parked. The shower and flush toilet were appreciated. I would definitely stay again, as it was more affordable to sleep in my van instead of getting a room for three nights when I was gone all day. I felt very safe and secure.

Would’ve loved to have set up my firepit, but I understood there’s a fire ban, so no worries.

What a gem of a stop on old Route 66. We were greeted warmly by Shannon who showed us around and helped us find the right spot for us. She was very responsive to any of our questions. It was so fun to walk around the grounds and learn the history. The sunset was spectacular and the night sky filled with stars. It was so quiet at night, yes the occassional train but it felt far enough away to just be charming and it definitely did not wake us up.

Where to go
Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers 1.5 million acres of mountains, canyons and two lakes, Lake Mohave and Lake Mead. Lake Mohave and Cottonwood Cove is the closest to Laughlin and offers 200 miles of shoreline, and hundreds of secluded coves, along with hiking and biking trails. More than a dozen campgrounds offer some 900 tents and RV sites, along with vehicle, horseback, shoreline, and backcountry camping options.
California and Mojave National Preserve
Just over the California border, north of Needles, the mountains and deserts of Dead Mountains Wilderness offer options for primitive camping, hiking, horseback riding, rock hounding, and hunting. Further east, the Mojave National Preserve offers a vast open land with dramatic terrain of sand dunes, canyons, mountains, and Joshua tree forests, along with three developed campgrounds and plenty of backcountry for dispersed camping.
Arizona
RV parks can be found across the Colorado River on the Arizona side at Bullhead City. Campgrounds can also be found along Lake Mohave at Katherine Landing. At Moabi Regional Park, along the Colorado River at the California and Arizona state line, dispersed and developed campsites are available, along with fishing, hiking, boating, and off-roading. Further south, camping can be found at Lake Havasu State Park, near Lake Havasu City.
When to go
Searchlight’s location in the desert of southern Nevada means hot summers with soaring temperatures, making outdoor activities other than water play a bit dangerous. Spring and fall offer the best weather for outdoor recreation, including camping. The best time for largemouth bass is between March and June, striped bass is between April and November, and rainbow trout is between November and March.
