Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Bass Camps Flats is a peaceful stretch of high-desert land where the horizon feels endless and the noise of the world finally fades out. Wide-open flats roll into subtle desert rises, offering panoramic scenic views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and some of the darkest night skies you’ll find this close to civilization. At night, the stars take over—perfect for stargazing, astrophotography, or just laying back by the fire and watching the Milky Way drift by. During the day, the land invites exploration: hiking, wandering washes, dirt bike riding, overland travel, and quiet off-grid camping. You’re far enough out to feel truly unplugged, yet close to Lake Mojave for fishing, swimming, boating, and day trips—plus easy access to Laughlin for supplies, food, and fuel. This is primitive desert camping at its best: raw, open, quiet, and grounding. No crowds. No neighbors. Just space, sky, and stillness.Backcountry Camp is where the desert opens up and says, “You’re on your own—in the best way.” This is true backcountry-style camping: wide, untamed land with sweeping desert views, open skies, and a deep sense of space that makes everything slow down. Days are made for exploring on foot, hiking desert terrain, dirt bike and off-road riding, and wandering quiet washes that feel untouched. The land is open and forgiving, ideal for overland rigs, vans, dirt bikes, and minimalist campers who want room to move and breathe. When night falls, the desert really shows off. Stargazing here is unreal—no city glow, no campground lights, just stars stacked on stars and the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Campfires (when legal) bring warmth and stillness, and the silence feels intentional, not empty. You’re close to Lake Mojave for daytime adventures like fishing, boating, or swimming, yet far enough away to feel completely disconnected from crowds and noise. Laughlin is within reach for supplies, but Backcountry Camp stays firmly rooted in solitude. Backcountry Camp offers quiet, scenic desert camping near Lake Mojave with wide-open views, incredible stargazing, and total privacy. Enjoy hiking, dirt bike riding, overland travel, and peaceful nights under the stars. 4x4 is highly recommended. Which makes it ideal for trucks, and off-grid campers looking to unplug while staying close to the lake and Laughlin.
