Tarantula Ranch is located in the Mojave Desert surrounded by BLM land and nearby Death Valley National Park. One of the first vineyards in Nevada, we grow 5 varietals of grapes and make wine on-site. We offer guests camping, glamping, and an RV site. Camping and Glamping sites are located next to the vines and include picnic tables, shared bathhouse with toilets and shower, outdoor kitchen (bbq, gas cooktop). We also have a community area "The Wine Hall" with ping-pong, shuffleboard, refrigerator, and microwave. Outside our gates, enjoy biking, hiking, scrambling, and exploring the Amargosa Desert and nearby Skeleton Hills. Nearby attractions include Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge (30-minutes) and Death Valley National Park (45-minutes). We have spent a lot of time in the park and are happy to answer questions, make suggestions, or even take you on a tour.

Tarantula Ranch offers a unique desert camping experience with well-maintained facilities and artistic touches. The campsite is clean, and the hosts are friendly, adding a welcoming atmosphere. Guests enjoy modern amenities like clean bathrooms with bidets, outdoor showers, and a communal kitchen, making it a comfortable stay. The presence of friendly cats and the scenic views of the desert and night sky add charm to the experience, although some guests noted the proximity of campsites could be a little tight.

An awesome , clean, well laid lout place with nice artistic features within a vineyard...everything about it worked well including the very social cat who decided to lay down in the middle of the table tennis table by the net so we had to hit over it.

This is an awesome spot in the desert. The showers and bathrooms look newly renovated and clean, but they also have an outdoor shower and composting toilet available! They have a communal area with games and a kitchen area, and there are 3 extremely friendly cats that roam the area! 2 of them actually got inside my tent with me!!! They were jumping into my arms to be held. It really added to the experience

We travelled with RV and there was one RV campsite with hookup and water supply. Hosts were really gentle and helpful. There is a shared kitchen area, nice shower and bathroom (outdoor and indoor too). Further campsites for tents, cars and some clamping ones are bookable as well. WiFi is also available all over the campground. Nice site and indeed like to visit again.

Place was exactly as described and a welcome relief after a long day of travel. Got lucky and had the property almost to ourselves so it was quiet and peaceful. Artistic and ample amenities allowing us use of super clean bathrooms and outdoor sink. Had showers and ping pong that we didn’t take advantage of but are great additions. And a quick 1-hour drive to Death Valley. Would definitely recommend!
