The best camping near Quemado with a private bathroom

·

In Quemado, you’ll find over 250 campsites where toilets are a given, so you can skip the shovel and focus on the sky—stars blaze out here, unobstructed by city lights. Most sites allow campfires, welcome pets, and put you right in the path of wildlife, whether you’re out hiking or riding horseback. Prices start at $10 a night, with the average landing around $25. Top picks include High Desert Magic (48 reviews), a favorite for its sweeping high plains and quiet, and Donald B.’s Land (9 reviews), where you’ll wake to open skies and solitude. For something more equipped, Apache RV Park with Tent sites (8 reviews) has easy pull-ins and plenty of space. Trails cut through piñon and juniper, and you’re likely to spot mule deer at dusk. Bring layers—the desert cools off fast once the sun drops.

This is a drycamping venue that has gravel roads leading up to the venue. Fresh well water can be provided for small groups without a fee but guests will need to provide their own containers to use during their stay. The campground has a fairgrounds across the road that is not part of registration access through this site. Please contact us directly for booking options for the fairgrounds and please make sure to only access the property pinned in the location provided to you through this site. This property was obtained around 60+ years ago via the Homestead Act by a family who we have become very close friends with. Over the last 60 years it's only been used sparingly as grazing land for cattle. Since we've obtained the land we've been focused on learning it's history from those who have been here the longest while also being proud BIPOC owners of land in this area. We've also connected with the original people's of this land who were here during the time the land was colonized. We've found ceremonial and everyday pottery, crystals, and underground caves throughout the surrounding properties which we own. Over the last 2 years we've learned about the Redwoods that have been wiped out of the area and that the mountain is eroding quickly. It has become our mission to plant indigenous plants and trees that are extinct from the area, reviving the plant like, reviving the mountain and doing what we can to encourage the water table to rise! Our plans for the 12 acres the campground occupies is to add an outdoor shower that can be used all year, installing solar powered water heaters & bathrooms as well as establishing a community meeting space and a greenhouse where we can host gardening classes and provide fresh fruits and veggies in this food desert! This land is sacred and we intend to continue treating it as such!
