2 nights at Mojave Desert Ranch
This was the second time we enjoyed staying at the Hummingbird tiny home and spending an extra night was well needed. The hosts Sandi and Rob were very accommodating and friendly and easy to contact about anything. We enjoyed everything the tiny home had to offer, including nights outside around the campfire and enjoying the peace and quiet that Vegas can’t always offer. We felt very safe and welcomed during our stay. We hope to come back more often for these types of getaways!

Weekend Trip to Mojave Desert Ranch
The Ac is perfect and hits as soon as you walk in, the bed area was warm during the day but with the fan on and the cooling down on the evening it was comfy at night as well. We were pleasantly surprised to see a toilet and a shower since we hadn't seen them in the pics.
It's a dreamy tiny home with everything you could need. Even some board games and checkers. Loved the cute little radio which I enjoyed while cleaning the pots and pans. We made breakfast in the firepit and smores at night. The night sky was clear that you could see the milky way! We fell in love with Sandy Valley Ranch a second time. So serene and beautiful. The dogs are so well behaved and we love all the animals. Glad to celebrate a birthday there and already looking into staying again.

WOW! A very wonderful experience was had. I give it a 10 out of 10. Employees were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional in all aspects. The weather was not a problem, only gusts of wind late into the night, and a warm environment during the day, but comfortable. The mini cabin had toiletries, which I found very thoughtful. The fire pit near the campsite was perfect for s'mores, so no need to bring your travel pit. Although I recommend bringing a flashlight and water on your stay.

Weekend Trip to Mojave Desert Ranch
It was a great place to see the sunset and sunrise! I loved having the animals and took the best trail ride right from the ranch. The hummingbird had all the basics I needed. The signs to the camp were great, as I came in after dark and had no problem finding it.

This place was the perfect rest spot on our way home from Death Valley. The space was very cozy, and felt very spacious even though it’s a tiny home.

We visited for 2 days the 3rd week of October on our way from Flagstaff to LA. Check the weather reports for Goffs, CA to get closest to what the campground will experience. We had great weather: cool air and warm sun, light breezes until 2am the second night the wind woke us up.. There was enough phone signal to find out the winds were going to pick up from 15mph to 25mph with stronger gusts, so we finished packing up in the dark and headed out. The road in is paved all the way. The toilets were well stocked. The Rings trail was great fun, even for us in our 70’s. Do the trail clockwise, staring at the south end of the big dirt parking lot by the visitors center. The night sky was good, but affected by Las Vegas light.

I usually like to start or end my long road trips with a quick over night in Mid Hills Campground because of the secluded nature of it. It does have water and toilets so that a plus for being such a remote campground.
The main perk for me is the lack of light pollution, so you can see so many stars on a clear night.

Beautiful and remote. Make sure you pay attention to weather, as the first time we tried to stay here it was close because of floods! When we did finally get out there, it was amazing, and we watched a storm pass in the distance, with hug lightning lighting up the sky.

Hole-in-the-wall you are sleeping in the desert. No shade. We were there in October and weather was fantastic. About 25% full. We were fully contained so did not try the water or facilities. Close to some great hiking although we found the trailhead of Ring hike hard to find so ended up doing it backwards

I think that Mojave is the most underrated park in CA! It combines the wonders of both Joshua Tree and Death Valley, with its own flare. Be sure to have a full tank of gas cause it is large, but worth days of exploring. Would go back again in a heartbeat!

This campsite is really the perfect campsite. The views are gorgeous, the hiking nearby is on point and the campsite is kept clean. As other people have said, the wind does tend to pick up, so we found car camping to be the best option for us. That said, the stars are breadth taking and a real treat.

A little scary because it's sooooo isolated

Hole-in-the-Wall is a great little campground in the Mojave NP. It does get a bit windy as another Hipcamper noted. This campground is pretty exposed and has no trees, but if you have a tent you can camp at Mid Hills Campground where trees are plentiful in the back portion of the campground. Also neither campground has firewood for sale, so be sure to bring your own!

Mojave National Preserve is on of my favorite national parks! Mid Hills is an awesome campground as it's for tents only, is in the high desert (which means cooler temps and trees for shade). It's $12/night and is first come first served, but rarely fills up (holiday weekends are a little bit of a gamble, so be sure to get there on Friday evening). There is potable water spigots and vault toilets making this a great basecamp in the Mojave for all your adventures. The park is very spread out in terms of things to do, but there are some very unique places to see including the Kelso Dunes (45 min drive), the lava tube (1 hr drive from MH and partly on an unmarked 4x4 road), and Teutonia Peak trail (1 hr drive) in a lush desert landscape.

I pulled off one of the many dirt roads and wandered for a mile or so before I found a little "hidden" area to car camp. This place is pure beauty. A must see!

The winds can be particularly high in the Mojave Desert, so if you'll be sleeping in a tent, make sure that you have strong stakes to hold your tent down!

If you don’t have 4WD, you can still come camp here. The Hole-In-The-Wall Campground is accessible via a nicely paved road that will lead you there straight from the highway!

Stake your tent into the ground like you really mean it. You don’t want to lose it to the strong desert winds!

Be sure to pack up everything you need and fill up your tank with gas. There aren’t any gas stations or convenience stores anywhere on the preserve (it is the middle of the desert after all). And for the most part, you won’t find cell service either.

For a more pleasant visit, check out Mojave in the morning or the cooler months or the desert heat (we’re talking 100 degrees, people!) might prevent you from exploring as much as you’d like to.

Paved roads are limited, but you are more than welcome to traverse the open, dirt roads. 4WD will give you more free-roam across the preserve!
