The Schellraiser music fest offers a variety of seasonal camping options at our 80-acre private campground in the cool high desert of Eastern Nevada's Steptoe Valley, near the small town of McGill. Our Lotus Belle-brand bell tents are solar powered and fully furnished, with king, queen and twin beds; organic Avocado-brand mattresses; rugs; loveseats; floor lamps; charging ports and wi-fi service. Car-camping and pitch-your-own-tent sites without power are also available. Our campground features several tiny homes; we've converted the biggest one into our clubhouse that is now open to all guests from Thursday through Sunday nights. The clubhouse has a small kitchen area for cooking simple meals. We're also gearing up to reopen our coffee bar on weekends in late spring 2025; our menu features hot and cold espresso drinks, organic teas and organic chocolate bars. A heated six-unit restroom/shower trailer is on site. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, TO ENSURE THAT WE MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS: We are an OFF-GRID campground, in a very remote part of rural Eastern Nevada. To reach our campground, you must drive eight-tenths of a mile off the main highway, on a rocky DIRT ROAD that is susceptible to flooding from April to mid-July in wet years. Drivers with Teslas, Audis and low-clearance vehicles are STRONGLY ADVISED to look elsewhere for lodging. PLEASE READ ALL CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS, OUR TRAVEL ADVISORY, OUR FIRE BAN ADVISORY AND CAMPGROUND RULES BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR STAY WITH US. ABOUT THE AREA: Schellraiser is just minutes away from the High Schells and Bristlecone wilderness areas, and within an hour's drive of Nevada's wildest high-mountain and high-desert scenery. Subalpine peaks, rugged canyons, wild rock formations, natural hot springs and ghost towns are all around us, and the surrounding area is teeming with wildlife, including Nevada's biggest elk herd. ABOUT US: We're the founders of the annual Schellraiser micro-fest, which brought bands like Ladytron, Mercury Rev, The Raveonettes, Blonde Redhead, Asleep At The Wheel, We Are Scientists, The Joy Formidable, Blitzen Trapper, Old 97's, Houndmouth, Shannon Shaw and BRONCHO to the nearby McGill Pool Park each spring. The fest will return to a new venue (not in McGill) in 2026.

Schellraiser offers a splendid mix of comfort and nature, with stunning views and cozy accommodations. The campsite is well-equipped with clean facilities, including hot showers and bathrooms, making it a great choice for both camping and glamping enthusiasts. Visitors consistently praise the amiable host, Brian, who ensures everyone feels welcome and informed. While the site is generally peaceful and conveniently located, some have noted the distance to bathrooms as a minor inconvenience.

Amazing views right from the tents; the space was very comfortable with all of the details taken care of; close enough for a day trip to Great Basin NP!

Beautiful setting and a very cozy and comfortable stay! The Yurt was furnished with class, complete with a comfortable bed, seating, and electricity. The shower trailer was clean and so easy to use. Also, the camp host Brian was so helpful and hospitable. I would stay here any time!

This place is amazing! Tents are beautiful and super comfortable. Setting is perfect and it’s conveniently close to the 93. Both the owner and the host were so kind. I highly recommend this spot!

This place is such a great find! The yurts are spacious and comfortably decorated (including electricity). The portable bathrooms are the nicest I have ever encountered (toilet, sink, mirror and shower in each) and the bonus “clubhouse” has a grill, gas burners and basic cooking utensils. I loved all the art throughout the camp and the sunsets & stars were spectacular. The minor thing I missed was a fire pit because it does get very cold at night & sitting outside stargazing didn’t last long. Easy and friendly check-in by the camp host (Brian) who is awesome. Overall excellent experience and I look forward to going back!
