Primitive camping! This 2 acre property is on flat, open, desert terrain and is accessed off road, so please be sure your RV or vehicle can drive off road. Located off I-40 ( old Route 66 ) in Holbrook, Arizona. No power, toilet, water, or sewage. You will need to drive ~1 mile or so off road to get to the provided coordinates.Just 49 miles away you have Castle Mountains National Park. You'll need a high-clearance, 4WD vehicle to get into this extremely remote national monument in the eastern Mojave Desert. Accessible only by dirt roads, Castle Mountains is surrounded on three sides by the Mojave National Preserve. It's the northernmost of the desert region's three new national monuments designated by the President in 2016. This park in northeastern San Bernardino County protects 20,920 acres, located between the interstates I−15 and I−40. There are no facilities, developed campgrounds, or established trails within the monument. Backcountry camping is allowed. Castle Peaks is one of the stars here—a cluster of imposing spires that climb skyward.

You're also rewarded for your efforts to get here by lush grasslands, Joshua tree forests, mountain vistas, and abundant wildlife. The rugged Mojave Desert is home to mountain lions, bighorn sheep, golden eagles, coyotes, and bobcats. Castle Mountains National Monument is always open, but the best times to come are spring and fall. March and April are peak times.

2 nights at Jeffry’s Farm

Jeffry’s Farm was a very convenient location for our needs. It is under a flight path, but we found this not to be a problem. Evenings were fairly peaceful and we actually enjoyed watching the planes come in during the day. Parking area was fairly flat and easy to get in and out of. We would stay here again if in the area.

Weekend Trip to Beagletopia - Your Quiet Escape!

It was wonderful camping. close enough to civilization that I didn't have to worry if I forgot something, but far enough away that it was quiet all weekend - unless you don't like the sound of coyotes singing, and dark enough to sit out, watch the sunset, and enjoy a nice pour of Weller C.Y.P.B.. My trailer is 22 feet, so I would pull in, and still unhook, giving me a great view of the mountains. Some weekends, I just need to get away from the house and all the stuff, and I will certainly look for this spot.

Exactly as described - I didn’t get to meet the camel cause I was there so briefly (10p-6a for one night) BUT I admired both horses and alpacas! Would def stay again - without traffic it’s less than 10 mins from the airport. (Midday it would prob be like 16-17 min)

1 night at Greti Farm

We stayed here while visiting Vegas, and it worked out great! The spot is a driveway, but Stephanie was super kind and let us use an exterior plug, which made our stay much more comfortable. It’s a quiet little tucked-away corner of Vegas, and the drive to the Strip was reasonable. It’s semi-private since it’s just the front driveway, but overall it was peaceful. This spot did the job perfectly as a last minute option for our stay.

Weekend Trip to Jeffry’s Farm

Enjoyable site. It's close enough to the casinos to enjoy Vegas (if that's your thing), but far enough away that you can feel isolated. The land is flat, and packed earth, so it's great to set up on. You're close enough to shopping, groceries and dining, but away enough to set up and make your own meals. I did not get a chance to meet the host (I was hurried - visiting with a friend who had emergency surgery), but it was quiet. MAKE SURE YOUR BOONDOCKING GAME IS GOOD, especially in the summer (I just made it through with my solar battery - I should have brought the full set). If you have battery generators, you can charge up free at the Silverton nearby (top level of the parking structure has outlets on some of the light poles), so you can plug in and shop, dine, or gamble. There are horses, alpacas, and a camel to see, and because there was always a breeze, it doesn't have that horse farm smell, which I like. Overall, it's a lovely place to park for a night or two. Next time, I'll bring friends.

Nice, private spot — close to town but suburban/rural in setting. There’s horses in view & it’s a great spot to boondock. I was only reserving the spot to do some cleaning/chores inside my van, so I didn’t stay the night — but I bet the sunset was beautiful.

The location was great. Easy to get to. Easy Uber back and forth to and from Las Vegas. Safe neighborhood. We were so tired from walking around the strip that we crashed and we never heard the airplanes overhead. The spot was level(ish). The host made everything simple. No check-in required. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet our host but I think from the tag line on his dog training business, we'd have some fun. If you are looking for safe and easy, no muss, no fuss, this is the spot.

It's a very flat lot next to the house. It is exposed on one side to the road but is set back aways. There are airplanes that come over depending on the landing pattern, But generally very quiet. Opposite the road are the camels and the horses on the property. It was a very very lovely spot to be for several days, added two more. Will definitely come back, if I'm in the area.
