Goffs Schoolhouse
My son and his friends had an amazing time exploring the property and stargazing. He couldn’t stop raving about how much fun he had and how beautiful the night sky was. He is a budding astral photographer and this was his first opportunity to really get up close and personal with the night sky. He found Laura and her crew to be super helpful and friendly and he can’t wait to go back. Thank you for making his experience so amazing!

Perfectly situated in the middle of nowhere. Completely authentic and extremely interesting. Ground is flat and made of perfectly uniform decomposed granite, so fine you can walk barefoot. Priceless desert vista in all directions. We chose a spot next to the old train depot to car camp overnight. This Hipcamp was exactly half way between our trip from the coast to Sedona. We were greeted at dusk, set up camp, slept, and left around 9. There was only one other camper in the whole place which we had basically to ourselves and our two annoying dogs. The bathroom was clean and well decorated- complete with a nice shower. The bi-hourly freight trains that pass in the night may be an issue for some, but the noise was not as extreme as some have stated in other reviews. If you think about it, you are considering staying at a train museum so the fact that there are active tracks nearby shouldn’t be a shocker! The place is off Route 66 which loops off of 40 so the distance from the highway is a non issue as you can take a short side route on Route 66 without the 11 mile drive in being an issue. Will stay again and hopefully late enough in the morning to visit the museum.

Amis Français. L’endroit est vraiment unique et le train ne m’a pas empêché de dormir (mais c’est vrai qu’il passe souvent). Par contre, nous avons prévenu notre arrivée tardive, malgré ça, personne pour nous accueillir, obligé d’appeler la propriétaire. Son manageur est venu nous a expliqué en toute vitesse. J’ai demandé les douches il s’est contenté de me donner les toilettes…. Dans le noire impossible de voir où se trouvaient les douches. Les toilettes sales.
Le lendemain nous avons trouvé la douche, pas très propres non plus… mais il fallait prendre la douche. Je n’ai jamais eu le code wifi… dommage le coin était quand même atypique mais il faut quand même faire un effort niveau communication et propreté.

Nice overnight stay at the museum. Chris was very helpful and knowledgeable. We really love the vibe and scenery, but the train noise did it make it hard to get a good night's rest. I would stay again, but earplugs may be needed.

Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at Goff’s Schoolhouse, Laura met us with a smile & made us feel extremely welcome straight away. We then had the pleasure of meeting Chris who talked us through the history of the Schoolhouse & pointed out loads of interesting items for us to look at. We were completely unaware of the history behind Goff’s & couldn’t be more pleased that we stumbled across this gem which gave us a completely different experience to what we have seen throughout the rest of our trip.
We highly recommend this campsite & are truly grateful for the hospitality we experienced. It was a great option to stay between Joshua Tree National
Park & the Grand Canyon.
Thank you all!

We camped on Laura‘s land. It was hot during the day, but so nice at night to watch the sunset
And the stars. We really enjoyed it. There’s a lot to see, and we loved it.

What a treat! We came in our EV truck. The level 2 charger was reliable. We enjoyed sleeping under the stars. The camphosts were welcoming and helpful.

Chris met us at the front gate and ushered us to our campsite. Chris and Jennifer welcomed us and we're very knowledgeable with RV experience which we really appreciated. Our site was just as we expected. We came to appreciate all that was happening in Goffs and plan to return in the future.

Very unique spot to get off the interstate and camp for the night. We liked this spot and would come back again but bring ear plugs next time. The train passed by a number of times throughout the night blasting the horn for a near by road crossing. The host was also very attentive and helpful.

Laura’s place was a wonderful stay in the desert and so interesting with the outdoor mining equipment museum and he historical research they are doing there. Lovely with the hook-up, water & hot shower too!

We were met immediately by the camp hosts which we learned are moving along their own trail at the end of this month. They invited us for campfire and made us feel welcome, shared awesome knowledge about the schoolhouse and surrounding land. Even guided us to specific things to seek out for an even more enriching experience.

Our host chased me down when I missed my turn (it’s the dirt/gravel road immediately to the left off Route 66) and escorted us right to our spot. Then he stayed late to introduce us to the schoolhouse and shared some great photography with us. Walked the grounds the following morning with crisp freeze dried air. What a great find along the famous Route 66. We’re headed back 2 weeks from now for another night and looking forward to touring even more. 10/10 enjoyed this special place.

Impossible to communicate effectively with hosts at 8pm on evening of arrival - phone button did not work in app and no reply to my messages. Found a locked gate late at night on arrival due to issues on the road. Not a great experience having to camp on the side of the road a few hundred meters from the site we had paid for.

We enjoyed our one night here. The parking space was roomy for our 40ft RV, and we loved that they provided electric and water hookups. The museum is fun to walk around. We took a trip over to the Kelso Dunes in Mojave. The only downside is how loud the train is throughout the night.

The spot was amazing with a lot of history. You really sleep in the middle of a museum.
Jim, who welcomed us, was super nice and took the time to show us the place.
The only bad fact is that the place is close to the railroad. If you like trains you’ll love the spot.

Staying at Goff’s Schoolhouse was awesome. Got there just in time to see sunset and staff greeted us at the gate and showed us an amazing location that we could really experience the beauty of the land as the sun went down. Bathrooms were so amazing and clean, shower was wonderful. We had to leave a little early so we didn’t get to experience the library or museum but did walk around and the space has been so week curated - 10/10 on this spot. Thanks to everyone there!

My wife and I stayed two nights and loved camping here. A unique and beautiful isolated location. Perfect for escaping from it all and excellent for star gazing. We were warmly welcomed and the facilities were excellent.

I loved RV camping at this site. It was hot, but after all, it was the desert in July! Lots of history to explore, an awesome memorial site for veterans, an old schoolhouse and lots more. Great communication and directions just off of historic Route 66. A step back in time with great hosts. I recommend.

That's a great and quiet place with stunning sunset views. Andy showed us the property, pointed out the dangerous cacti so we could stay away from them, and let us decide where to place the tent. There is a proper toilet, shower (the water is natural but warm enough due to the scalding desert weather), drinkable water, and even an oven. We were alone in the camp, so it was almost a private experience. Not to mention the historical importance of the place in the middle of the Mojave Desert; it felt like being in a western movie.

Quirky unique fun place to camp. Very quiet and well laid out. My only complaint would be lack of communication on what to do if you arrive after hours after communicating well in advance I would be arriving late. The camping area had cones in the entryway and it looked like a permanent mobile home community so I didn’t know what to do. Lucky for me a couple of other late arrivals showed up behind me and their respective party already in the campground gave us directions.

Please be sure to inform your campers that are coming in if you are going to be having any loud boom (canon) noises that scare the dogs and give them great anxiety.
It was a bit uncomfortable, and my dog couldn’t get over it for three hours… And I’m sure she was not the only one :(
Otherwise, it’s a pretty cool place!
