Stay Where Legends Once Roamed: A Desert Adventure Awaits! Welcome to a one-of-a-kind camping experience in the heart of the Mojave Desert, where history, mystery, and breathtaking nature converge. This is no ordinary campsite — it’s a land of legends, once roamed by the infamous Butch Cassidy. Imagine pitching your tent on the very grounds that may hold his final resting place. Nestled near the historic Johnnie Mine, our campsite offers a window into the region's fascinating mining history. Once a booming gold mining site in the late 1800s, Johnnie Mine is now a quiet yet intriguing reminder of Nevada's vibrant past. Just 18 miles away, adventure awaits at Devils Hole, home to the world-famous Devils Hole Pupfish, one of the rarest fish species on Earth. Witness this marvel of nature in its secluded desert oasis, surrounded by an untouched and awe-inspiring landscape. For those seeking even more adventure, Death Valley National Park is a short drive away. Explore the iconic sand dunes, salt flats, and rugged canyons of one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. Return to your campsite under the vast desert sky, where the stars shine brighter than anywhere else. Whether you’re a history buff, a rockhound, or a nature lover, this spot is perfect for those craving an authentic desert experience. Camp where outlaws once roamed, explore remnants of Nevada’s gold rush, and reconnect with nature in the quiet beauty of the Mojave. What We Offer: Primitive camping spot with stunning desert views but close enough to civilization to feel safe Proximity to Devils Hole (18 miles) and Death Valley A unique opportunity to explore the land of legends Pack your sense of adventure and come stay where history meets mystery. The desert is calling — will you answer?Desert Escape with Wild Mustangs, Rockhounding, and Stunning Views Nestled less than a mile down a rugged dirt road in the historic Johnnie townsite, this primitive campsite offers a truly unique desert experience. Surrounded by the vast Nevada wilderness, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Spring Mountains by day and a million-dollar view of Pahrump’s twinkling lights by night. Wild mustangs and burros roam freely across the landscape, making this an incredible spot for wildlife lovers. In addition to these iconic desert dwellers, keep an eye out for jackrabbits darting through the sagebrush, desert tortoises slowly making their way across the terrain, and the occasional coyote trotting along the ridgelines. Red-tailed hawks and golden eagles often soar overhead, while quail and roadrunners scurry across the dusty trails. As night falls, you might hear the distant calls of great horned owls or spot a kit fox moving stealthily under the moonlight. Rockhounds will be in paradise here, with the desert floor scattered with fascinating minerals, colorful jasper, and unique stones waiting to be discovered. If you're up for an adventure, you’re also near the habitat of the rare Death Valley pupfish—a living relic from prehistoric times, thriving in the most unexpected places. With minimal light pollution, this campsite offers unmatched stargazing, allowing you to soak in the beauty of the Milky Way stretching across the desert sky. Whether you're here to explore, relax, or experience the magic of Nevada’s wild landscape, this off-grid retreat is the perfect place to reconnect with nature.
