Meadview Arizona was founded in 1826 by Jedediah Smith on his Southwest Expedition in search for Beaver! Staying a small remote and quiet town it can feel like it would have in the Wild West.
We obtained our campground from a couple that owned it for 20 years but just weren't able to do to it what they had originally planned.. So it was essentially a blank canvas for us to create!! We are the closest town to the Grand Canyon SKYWALK, which is just 40 minutes from us. Meadview, the town we are located, is the only place to obtain Free Entree to the Lake Mead Recreational Center. Our Campground just 10 miles from Lake Mead and 17 Miles from the Colorado River. We have outstanding Lookouts, Top notch Stargazing, Gold Prospecting, Bird Watching, Fishing, Off Roading etc.
Some of the Best Desert Off-Roading through trails within the Joshua Tree National Forest, Please note you must bring your own OHV, horse, etc, there is currently no rentals available. We do have Kayaks to rent upon arrival. There is a hidden water fall in the Grapevine Wash that you can get to with a 4 wheel vehicle and you hike in about 15 minutes in. Stunning views and gorgeous natural spring and waterfall.
We are 45 minutes off the 93 Freeway
Free WIFI provided at the office!.. The town doesn't always have a powerful signal, please keep that in mind in your travels. However, if you have Verizon, it gets GREAT service!
There are three restaurants in town, all just one mile from site... The Boathouse, Anchor Smokehouse and Fishermans Landing Bar. We have a Bakery called Rosemary and Thyme that serves Delicious foods & Pastries and makes great coffees. There is also a Gas n Grub that has ice, propane etc... 5 miles away is a Family Dollar store which we lovingly call the "Mall of Meadview"

Purchased this land for my father who loved living on his own in stark conditions. The property literally came with a shack on it. He loved shifting for gold with one of the neighbors in the desert up the road. He has since passed and the shack was torn down due to normal wear making it unstable.Me and my wife plan to put a home on it in the future, but felt it would be nice to allow adventurous types to stay on the property for the cheap.Learn more about this land:(Directions at bottom of description)The property is up on a hill surrounded on 2 sides (W/N) by BLM land with an overlook of Lake Mead. Just 10 miles from lake access (downhill) inside Lake Mead recreational area. Also, about 9 miles from Grand Canyon West access point. The property once had a shack on it, which is now gone - some remnants remain. But, there are flat drive areas in which to park (RV ok) and/or tent camp. Property is a little rough, but the views are gorgeous! From the property you can see Lake Mead, the west wall of the Grand Canyon, and an overlook of the town of Meadview. There are other residents in the area, but are far away, but visible (it is a desert). But, the property is absolutely quiet and peaceful.There is no electric, water, or facilities - so, it is primitive (or self-contained) camping. There is a fire-ring, but you must bring your own wood. There is some limited shopping and restaurants in town (Meadview or Dolan Springs) and on the main road (Pierce Ferry). We plan to build on the property in the future, but wish to share it with others until then. Definitely for the rugged at heart or self-contained camper.General location:* 9 miles after grand canyon walkway turn-off* 1.5 miles after General Dollar (on left)*** before historical marker and turn-off to Meadview (on right)Directions (from Pierce Ferry - heading north):* Turn left at Newport (next road after King Tut [on right])* Turn right on Caribbean (dead end sign straight ahead)* Turn right on Starlight Way (end of nicely graded road with house up-hill on left)* Property at top of hill on right - at Starlight Way and Starlight Circle IntersectionGPS coordinates of property: 35.9845206, -114.0983649Other useful information:Closest restrooms are 11 miles north on Pierce Ferry - at boat ramp (all paved road)or in Meadview proper (at restaurants and gas stations)

Few People experience this Place. If you don't have four wheel drive or do not want branches touching your vehicles paint you will not be going here. It is very near the Grand Canyon west five miles up into a mountain valley called Iron Springs Basin. Behind The Grand Canyon western ranch. There is one ranch road leading in that passes through private and public lands. Please leave any gates as you found them. The area is generally thick scrub brush. Part of the road is rough and poorly maintained, including driving up a wash, and some jeep trail. Seriously not for the faint of heart. Copy and paste, 35.813200, -114.0095897 into google maps.

A beautiful slice of Mojave desert, a short detour off the road to the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
Here you'll find a broad assortment of iconic desert plants unique to the Mojave; ocotillo, barrel cactus, joshua trees, creosote bushes, a bunch of cool funky little succulents to name a few. Some majestic plastic flamingos add a touch of class, or perhaps they're delightfully tacky, you be the judge.
This location provides stellar access for hiking, stargazing, off roading, dry panning for gold, , geologizing, mtn. biking and plinking. It would also be a great place to do a photo shoot for an album cover.
7 miles off the pavement, the last couple miles can be as civilized or as off roady as you'd like. The smoothest route in from the main Greg's Hideout dirt road is Left on Acanthus Rd, Right on Bass St, Left on Bay Leaf, (see pic).
From here, you can drop it in 4wd and do some real exploring,
13 miles to Lake Mead via Hualapai Wash Rd or Greg's Hideout Rd.

It is about 5 miles south of the grand canyon western ranch up into the mountains. the road in crosses state lands and ranch lands, game and fish have a sign in sheet at the beginning of iron springs canyon road.

Simple and straight forward over landing! The site is positioned atop a mountain overlooking Lake Mead just as the pictures shows! Waking up there with a coffee was incredible! You see yourself in, drive up a pitched elbow off the driveway to the main property and just do your thing. I set up a tent behind my Tacoma and absolutely loved it! Epic stats! Windy, so expect that.. You are, after all on top of one of the highest points in the area, but that felt safe. I could see everything below me.

Welcoming people at the reception office. I had called ahead to ask about road conditions coming from Kingman. I was given a great advice to not go out of my way by using US93 but rather use N Stockton Hill Rd, i.e. Route 20, to Meadview. Very useful. Besides, we wanted to hike on a trail nearby but, again, were given a useful advice not to engage in such an activity without being very careful because of rattlesnakes presence. They are present because they are waking up from hibernation and can be very agressive. Otherwise the spot was fully equipped with functional hook-ups. Nice view and very quiet. Also a good spot for stargazing.

Overview
About
Everyone has heard of the Grand Canyon, but few know about its neighbor to the northwest, the Parashant National Monument. Established in 2000, the park consists of over 1 million acres of deep canyons, unique rock formations, and a wide variety of wildlife. The monument gets its unique name from the Paiute language. “Parashonts,” translates to “elk or large deer standing in water.” You can still see evidence of the original inhabitants. Look for rock shelters, petroglyphs, and trails scattered through the park.
With no paved roads or visitor services, it's recommended that you travel in a 4WD high clearance vehicle. Carrying two full-sized spare tires, extra water and food is also ideal. Cell phone service is spotty so you'll want to rely on a map, compass or GPS device.
Designated as a Dark Sky Park in 2014, visitors will experience pristine night skies with billions of stars. During the day, wildlife viewing may include mule deer, bighorn sheep, wild turkey, and other native species.
There are no designated campsites in the park, so come prepared for primitive camping. If you'd like a few more modern conveniences, check out Hipcamp. We can help you find the perfect public or private campground nearby. Whatever you choose, you're sure to have an amazing adventure!
