PLEASE read all of the details before booking so you book the site that works best for you and also so you understand where you are staying. You will receive messages from us after booking and before your arrival, so please check your Hipcamp inbox.
The RV spaces are behind the Baker Fuel and RV gas station. All sites are back-in only and have full hook-ups: 30amp and 50 amp electricity, sewer and water. There is a public bathroom, shower and laundry facility next to the sites. RV Site 5 is closest to the bathroom and RV Site 1 is furthest away.
This camping part of the property offers five primitive campsites, situated in a natural, secluded area that was once a pond. Conveniently just south of the only gas station in town and behind the Great Basin Basecamp Airbnb, the sites are close to the highway but sit lower in elevation, providing privacy and shielding them from the road. Guests have access to a small building with clean restrooms, showers and one set of coin-operated laundry facilities for added convenience. Campsite #6 is closest to the restrooms, #10 is the furthest. No campfires as our fire danger is very high most of the year. There are water spigots at Site #6, between #7 and #8 and Site #10.
The Lehman Caves Visitor Center at Great Basin National Park is about 5 miles up the road on Highway 488.

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.

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.

Rachel, NV · 1 site · Tent, RV
Wide open desert with history. In the 1800s the area was prospected for lead and silver. It was also used as farmland decades ago, and now is infamous for it's world class night skies and Area 51 air force installation. Although you can see planes taking off towards the Nellis Bombing Range, or see jetfighter training exercises or even test flights, the US Government still hasn't acknowledged the existence of the facility... that you are not allowed to enter. This is also a UFO hotspot and required visiting for those that believe Earth may have visitors.
This land means a lot to a lot of different people. For some, it means peace from city life. For others, it is the perfect setting for reflection on your life. Many find it to be the kind of adventurous or challenging tent camping they've sought. You'd be foolish not to count yourself among those the photographers, amateur astronomers, or souls that enjoy the continental United States' "darkest skies" with the least amount of light pollution in this part of the world.
Some simply like camping and getting free air shows. Finally, if you enjoy UFO stories or stories of our men in black, there is an itinerary
for you here that nowhere else can provide. This area is on many "independent researchers" must-visit list.
If all that weren't enough, there is an indescribable feeling of bedding down for the night in this valley. Maybe 100% of people don't feel it, but so many past visitors who have spent the night near the Extraterrestrial Highway (the real name of Nevada State Route 395 that this land is accessible from)
can vouch for it.
-------------
As of March 2026: All guests will be given two free ebooks! "Dreamland Destination Guide" which talks about the other points of interest in the area and "Area 51: The Rumors of these Sands" which talks about the variety of Area 51 lore!
All prior guests may message us to be given their copy.

Get out of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature when you stay in this unique place. Local Deer and fox roaming the area if you are lucky to see them. Wake up to a gorgeous mountain/valley view , BBQ during the day and enjoy smore's with the firepit at night. Miles of hiking right off the property and in the surrounding areas. Lots of local dirt bike, side by side riders in the area as well, and horse back riding!
If your a plant enthusiast like me, you will have fun scoping out all the natural medicinal herbs naturally growing in the area, i.e. sage, mullein, brigham tea, and many more!
Enjoy the entire valley with the view and privacy up on the hillside. Some neighbors across the street in a container home and tent rentals about a half mile away.
This is an outdoor off grid Glamping experience! Bring items you would normally bring camping (DRY CAMPING), but you have the luxury of having shelter, bed, sofa bed, refrigerator/ freezer, propane grill, propane stove, well water provided, and ability to have camp fire as the dome is located on private land not Forest land. Wifi is provided complimentary and as a luxury. Wifi is supported by Starlink and works about 85% of the time due to its remote location and weather conditions.

Disclaimer: Please do not follow any maps/ or GPS coordinates given by the rental/booking site. THERE IS NO ADDRESS. Please only use instructions provided to you by the host so that you do not get lost. 4-wheel drive highly recommended as it is off-road/ off-grid driving... You will be required to drive a vehicle with at least a 5 inch clearance above the ground so that you may be able to drive over the rocks without damaging your vehicle. The off road portion (the last 4.5 miles) ride is very bumpy, off road- means no pavement/ no gravel. You are off-roading in the mountains friends! Please keep in mind that there is no refund or cancellation policy if you decide to opt out of using a 4WD or vehicle that does not have the 5inch clearance.

Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV.

My place is perfect if you want to get away from the city for a little bit, or if you are traveling the country in your RV, trailer, or tent. My place is very unique if you are looking for a different place to stay other than an RV park. Good vibes only. :)

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.

We parked for 3 nights here in our Class A motor home and tow car in May. It was the perfect spot to stay in a big rig while exploring Great Basin National Park. The communication with the host was excellent and made finding our spot easy. There was plenty of room to maneuver our rig when getting set up. It was level with full hookups and a beautiful view of the mountain range out our front window. Thanks for the great stay!

Yes, it's a gravel parking lot. BUT, it's a great gravel parking lot. The RV sites are located behind the only fuel station in Baker (diesel $6.10/gallon). The site was dead level. The utilities (P/W/S) all worked perfectly. This is a diamond stop in the middle of the desert and located immediately adjacent Great Basin National Park. There's one Visitor Center about a half mile from the campground and the Lehman Caves Visitor Center is located a few miles from the campground. The bathhouse has 2 shower/bathroom facilities. The laundry room has 1 washer and 1 dryer. There is a taco stand across the street and a small store about a block down the street. The reservation through Hip Camp was easy to make and, in my case, easy to change. This is a perfect stop if Great Basin is the purpose of your visit or just need a stopover.

The views from this campground were incredible! The tent sites are relatively close together, but they still feel private. I loved the rock outline around the parking space, it was very cute. The bathrooms were also very clean and spacious. Overall, this was a great stay while we visited Great Basin!

We stayed in site #3. All the utilities were working fine. Gravel site was pretty level, didn't need additional leveling blocks. Site was roomy enough for our Motorhome and Toad vehicle. Nice metal/coated picnic table on a concrete slab. Clean sites and bathrooms contain a shower.
General Store down the street is not well stocked, but you may find enough provisions to tide you over if you need them. They do have beer and wine for sale, eggs, frozen goods like hamburger and hot dogs and hot dog buns.

Nicely maintained camp sites each with a picnic table and water spigots placed between sites. Pretty close to the road but it's the middle of nowhere so barely any traffic. I slept well. A deer was at my site to greet me when I pulled in! And a Great Basin Spadefoot toad (at least according to Google) was chilling in my tent vestibule when I turned in for the night. This is a great jumping off point for backpacking or day hiking in the park; it's about a mile from the Visitor's Center. Also, the bathrooms were very clean and I had a much-needed hot shower. There are laundry facilities if you need them as well. Janille was an amazing host and very responsive to my questions. Not only would I stay here again, I have another reservation booked already!
