This isn't your grandparents camper!!
My wife and I moved out to the Arizona Desert in December 2020 from New York City after owning a vintage shop in NYC and working in the event and entertainment industry for 20 years, with the dream of opening up a cool desert retreat and here we are!
The Camper is fully restored and functional. Located on a fenced in acre adjacent to our main property. The 20,000 Btu Air conditioner cools it down fast in the summer. We provide electric heaters for the colder months or if requested.
Sorry NO PETS allowed.
You'll have the 1 acre lot all to yourselves. Enjoy the incredible starry nights under our Joshua Trees.
Please keep the main gate CLOSED. Once the cattle gets in they are hard to remove.
Located in Dolan Springs Arizona.
The Gateway to The Grand Canyon West Rim and Skywalk. Just pass the Grand Canyon is Lake Mead South Cove and the Colorado River. Amazing scenic drives and BLM wilderness.
We are located directly off the main road Pierce Ferry, 4WD not necessary!
If you are staying for more than 1 night you will receive complimentary RV/Camper maintenance and water refills. You'll only see us if you NEED to see us.
Nestled between Joshua Trees and surrounded by other cactus species. There is a private outdoor sofa area, a covered deck, propane fire ring in the fall and winter October thru May.
The camper is connected to shore power and WiFi. Your water supply is onboard. 35 gallons of fresh water and a 5 gallon hot water tank. Make sure to adjust your shower regimen.

The kitchen has pots and pans, A toaster, Microwave, 3/4 gas Fridge and gas Stove.
The bed is super comfortable memory foam and has down alternative comforters and pillows.
No open wood or charcoal fires please. The desert winds can pick up at any moment and turn open fires into disasters, fast.

Rollo Ranch
12 sites · RVs2 acres · Chloride, AZ
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. The peaks are composed mainly of volcanic tuff, and the deep erosion of the rocks has created distinct, sharp summits. 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. The spring rains turn the desert into a carpet of vivid, vibrant wildflowers. Summers are very hot, with daytime temps in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

There is hiking right from camp. Boating, fishing and swimming 30 mins away in lake mead. Bring you 4 wheelers and other desert toys. Hunt for arrowheads (I’ve found them on the property) or gold on one of the many gold claims in the area. With membership in one of many clubs who operate the claims.

Camping near Searchlight with fishing guide
Overview
South of Las Vegas near the California-Arizona border, Searchlight was once a mining town, but now attracts visitors with its proximity to Lake Mohave, Cottonwood Cove, and the Colorado River, which provides plenty of options for water recreation, including fishing, boating, and paddling. Nearby, Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness and the Dead Mountains Wilderness Area both provide options for outdoor adventures on land. While camping options in Searchlight are limited to RV parks and overnight RV parking, tent, RV, and primitive camping options can be found in nearby parks, recreation, and wilderness areas.
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.
