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 #1 is closest to the restrooms, #5 is the furthest. No campfires as our fire danger is very high most of the year. There are water spigots at Site #1, between #2 and #3 and Site #5.
The Lehman Caves Visitor Center at Great Basin National Park is about 5 miles up the road on Highway 488.

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!

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.

Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV.
The closest town for gas and food is Pahrump which is about 20 minutes away. 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. :)

I am located one hour away from Death Valley National Park and twenty minutes from Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge and Devil's Hole. And an hour to Las Vegas and Pahrump about twenty minutes away. Google Maps and GPS will sometimes get you lost. Please message me for better directions after booking.

Welcoming camp experience in the Las Vegas area. Private RV spot tucked away on a large lot in a quiet neighborhood, yet only 15 minutes to the downtown Fremont Street Experience, and about 25 minutes to the large strip properties like Caesars Palace and MGM. Las Vegas has a lot to offer, but we have you covered with the RV spot.
We are in the NW valley with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. When the sun goes down over the Spring Mountains and Mount Charleston beautiful colors illuminate evening clouds. We are in somewhat of a rural area, so you might see bats in the evening, and bunnies in the morning. We have even seen coyote, owl, and of course lots of geese flying between golf courses in the morning during many months of the year. We are away from the city lights, so nighttime can be quite dark, but the moon can be a spectacular site in the night sky.
Red Rock Canyon is 16 miles away. Many of our guests enjoy the scenic beauty or climbing opportunities in Red Rock. Nevada's newest state park, Ice Age Fossils State Park, is just a few miles away and offers a glimpse into prehistoric time in the region. If you enjoy ziplining then check out Slotzilla at Fremont Street or on the Las Vegas strip at the LINQ.
Our Hipcamp comes equipped with water, electrical service (both 30amp and 50amp), and a sewer connection.

Beautiful spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. Great for star gazing too. Bar is located in a small quiet town named Crystal, NV.
The closest town for gas and food is Pahrump which is about 20 minutes away. 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. :)
Learn more about this land:
I am located one hour away from Death Valley National Park and twenty minutes from Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge and Devil's Hole. And an hour to Las Vegas and Pahrump about twenty minutes away. Google Maps and GPS will sometimes get you lost. Please message me for better directions after booking.

Amargosa Valley is the adventure town of Nevada. Sitting between Las Vegas and Death Valley, this property is just minutes away from one of the most popular sand dunes in the southwest. The sky opens up at night to treat campers to a vivid view of the starry night sky. With easy drive-up access, this parcel can be accessed by nearly any vehicle however a 4-wheel drive is recommended due to soft sand in some areas.

Welcoming camp experience in the Las Vegas area. Private RV spot tucked away on a large lot in a quiet neighborhood, yet only 15 minutes to the downtown Fremont Street Experience, and about 25 minutes to the large strip properties like Caesars Palace and MGM. Las Vegas has a lot to offer, but we have you covered with the RV spot.
We are in the NW valley with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. When the sun goes down over the Spring Mountains and Mount Charleston beautiful colors illuminate evening clouds. We are in somewhat of a rural area, so you might see bats in the evening, and bunnies in the morning. We have even seen coyote, owl, and of course lots of geese flying between golf courses in the morning during many months of the year. We are away from the city lights, so nighttime can be quite dark, but the moon can be a spectacular site in the night sky.
Red Rock Canyon is 16 miles away. Many of our guests enjoy the scenic beauty or climbing opportunities in Red Rock. Nevada's newest state park, Ice Age Fossils State Park, is just a few miles away and offers a glimpse into prehistoric time in the region. If you enjoy ziplining then check out Slotzilla at Fremont Street or on the Las Vegas strip at the LINQ.
Our Hipcamp comes equipped with water, electrical service (both 30amp and 50amp), and a sewer connection.

I loved Baker completely and Janile was exceptionally responsive. It's a great spot, easy access to Great Basin National Park and the lovely Bristlecone Store surprisingly well stocked with used and new books, plus great ice cream and gelato. The camp showers, restrooms and laundry were great.

Climbed the mountain at night and got back to my car, my misery was extraordinary. Torturous even. My anxiety and cortisol spiked as I trudged down the path I climbed thru the night. Terrible, challenging, painful -- real. The only thing I truly was looking for on the journey. Doing what others do not dream of, taking pain onto oneself to make sure that something in this god awful power-washed day-to-day offers. My suffering was immaculate, just suggest 2pm check in time is god awful and really only there to keep people for more than one night.

This campground was well maintained and had all hookups needed. Shower was sparse yet clean and got the job done.
There is nothing in Baker so make sure you bring everything you need. Nearest city is about an hour drive each way. We went in the off season so not sure if any restaurants open later or are permanently closed. Either way plan ahead. Campsite is also only gas for like 60 miles too.
Was convenient to the national park and all that has to offer.

Janille was super easy to reach and prompt in responding to questions we had. As first time Hipcampers we didn’t know what to expect. The site was awesome and exactly as advertised! We will definitely be back to visit again and would totally recommend a stay in the beautiful town of Baker!!!

It was quiet, shady with the trees on the side of their property while still providing a great view of the night sky. We had a fire pit, propane grill, picnic tables and chairs already provided which was very nice to use. We originally got an RV spot but we were tent camping so Carlos, Irma’s husband, told us to pick any tent spot to use and it worked out really well. The bathroom and shower room was an air conditioned shed that was great to use.

It was actually perfect for us. We wanted a place to boondock near the sights and activities, and Brandon’s place was very close. It’s far enough that you aren’t in the midst of the lights. It’s easy to drive into - the parking is right off the road and level enough. Jeffry the camel came over to say hi.

It was overall a great site. Civilization is close enough if you need it (20-30 minutes), yet far enough away to provide seclusion and spectacular views of the night sky.
The ground is soft enough to make it easy to sink tent stakes, but strong enough to hold them in place when the wind kicks up. This made setup and breakdown particularly easy.
The roads are primitive, but can be traversed by a 2WD vehicle with a little care.
Best of all, it was close to a lot of scenic sites, including Big Dune and Ash Meadows, and just a pleasant 45 minute drive from Death Valley. It serves as a great base for exploring a beautiful part of the country.

Best Hipcamp ever! Emily was a wonderful host. We felt so welcome. I can’t overstate how perfect the set up is. Our van had privacy while being literal steps away from the pool and bathroom that included a shower and laundry! The amenities make this really stand out. The power and water access was better than some RV parks while being cheaper. We took a Lyft to the strip, very easy.
We will be back for sure and highly recommend to all travelers.
