Set in the peaceful outskirts of Pahrump, The Alchemist offers a welcoming camping experience that many travelers find relaxing and enjoyable. The hosts, Irma and Carlos, are often highlighted for their friendly and accommodating nature, adding to the comfort of the stay. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few guests noted some noise from the dogs on the property, but overall, the atmosphere is described as quiet and secure. The presence of farm animals, a well-maintained bathroom with a hot shower, and proximity to attractions like Death Valley make it a convenient choice for campers.

Great place to stay before hitting the road. Only hour from LAS nice clean bathrooms and camp. Not far from valley of fire and death valley. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. There isn't any views or anything like that.

This was a great place to stay! It was quite ish, a bit noisy at times but we were happy with our stay and loved meeting the far animals. We also met their dog who was a sweet heart. All and all it was a good stay and maybe we would stay again if we wanted to escape the city 🤍 it’s a lovely property with lovely people 🤍

Super nice hosts with really adorable dogs. Quiet, safe and peaceful place to camp, with great sunsets. Also, they graciously offer a nice bathroom with hot water and shower. I was the only camper there when they hosted me and it was a very relaxing stay for me.

Nice quiet spot. I have a 28’ trailer (tongue to tail) and it was a bit difficult to get parked and get out. Would definitely recommend this spot but only if you are 24’ total length or less. Need a long extension if you want to plug in to 30amp. Overall we enjoyed our stay here.

Irma’s spot was super cute and very convenient for us when touring red rock canyon. They have a really good set up for tent camping with a picnic table and a fire place with chairs. They even gave us wood which was super sweet of them. The bathroom was very convenient as well. The shower was hot and it was nice to have access to a sink. Both Irma and Carlos are great hosts and I would highly recommend staying with them!

My husband and I really enjoyed tent camping at The Alchemist! The area was quiet, close to hikes we wanted to do, and felt safe. Having access to a shower and flush toilet was an added benefit!

Love and so much care went into this property. The shower and toilet are super clean and very welcome. Carlos made sure the gas grill was ready ans we had all we needed for our fire pit. The yard was thoughtfully and prettily lit ans very neat. Absolutely recommend

This location was relatively quiet and we felt safe. The water in the shower was hot, the owner was friendly and it was an easy drive to Las Vegas.
However, one thing that wasn't mentioned on the description was that they have 4 dogs on the property that barked at us loudly from an enclosed porch every time we used the restroom. In the morning as we were making breakfast, the dogs were let loose and barked at my husband surrounding our campsite for 15 minutes before finally deciding we were OK and settling down. One jumped on our picnic table. We're dog lovers, and weren't afraid they would harm us but it was kind of annoying.

Car camped on Irma’s land on the way to visit Death Valley National Park. We arrived late but the host was still very welcoming and accommodating. The actual land was well kept, easy to navigate, and perfect for a short stay. Accessing the land was easy and accessible as all the roads were paved. To our surprise there was even a bathroom and shower which is a great plus. Overall wonderful stay, quiet, clean, easy to access and perfect for car camping in my opinion

Great place to stay and it's very welcoming. You're away from stuff enough that it's quiet yet close enough that you can go sightseeing. Would recommend 10/10

OK, this is Pahrump, the opposite of Las Vegas in more ways than one, all the more to my liking. If you want glamping, look elsewhere.
Alchemist is not fancy, or particularly scenic (and you have to bring your own drinking water) but we had privacy, a bathroom with toilet and shower, electricity for our van's fridge, and a couple of sweet and responsive hosts.
Location worked well for us. We'd stay again if in the area.

I loved camping on Irma’s land. It was our first time camping with my husband and my dog (puppy) and we really enjoyed roaming around with their other dogs and seeing the chickens and baby goats. The place is so chill especially at night. They offer their jacuzzi, a projector to watch movies or facial / massage! What more can you ask for. Definitely recommend 5/5 when you want a relaxing getaway, away from the city.

Awesome space… private, safe and all the amenities !! This is way better pavement parking at an rv park. The goats/ horse and dogs all added to its charm. Highly recommended!

I had a great stay at Irma's campsite. The campsite was located in the host's backyard and felt private. I enjoyed the firepit, and the bathroom was very nice to have. I could only stay for one night this time, but I would come back here if it is an option in the future.

Camping here was so relaxing and fun. The hosts were wonderful and felt like we were visiting old friends. They were very friendly and attentive to make sure we were having the best experience possible. We loved their horse Princess and their dogs, Sasha and Ozo! The scenery was beautiful and the atmosphere was quiet and cozy. We will definitely be coming back.
