Welcoming camp experience in the Las Vegas area. Private RV spot tucked away on a large lot in a quiet neighborhood, yet only 15 minutes to the downtown Fremont Street Experience, and about 25 minutes to the large strip properties like Caesars Palace and MGM. Las Vegas has a lot to offer, but we have you covered with the RV spot. We are in the NW valley with wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. When the sun goes down over the Spring Mountains and Mount Charleston beautiful colors illuminate evening clouds. We are in somewhat of a rural area, so you might see bats in the evening, and bunnies in the morning. We have even seen coyote, owl, and of course lots of geese flying between golf courses in the morning during many months of the year. We are away from the city lights, so nighttime can be quite dark, but the moon can be a spectacular site in the night sky. Red Rock Canyon is 16 miles away. Many of our guests enjoy the scenic beauty or climbing opportunities in Red Rock. Nevada's newest state park, Ice Age Fossils State Park, is just a few miles away and offers a glimpse into prehistoric time in the region. If you enjoy ziplining then check out Slotzilla at Fremont Street or on the Las Vegas strip at the LINQ. Our Hipcamp comes equipped with water, electrical service (both 30amp and 50amp), and a sewer connection.

So peaceful and serene in this little mountain oasis! Hidden away within the mountains, there’s so much to see and do. Hike through the mountains and even down to Colorado River. Rent kayaks at the property to drive them down, a 7 min drive off the property. Book an off road tour around the mountains and down to the river. Check out the world famous ghost town a few minutes away and even goon an underground mine tour. It’s pure bliss and joy. A reset, a rest. Available as a single person camping, all the way up to weekend retreats for the entire family. This property is secluded and in a remote area with limited cell service. AT&T and Verizon have limited service, other carriers do not. This property is accessible by off road vehicle only, otherwise you may park your car in parking which is 4-7 minutes away from your tent by our shuttle. Off road vehicle means a 4x4 to drive over a rocky trail. To access your tent, you will be required to schedule the shuttle for check in. A host will drive out to meet you to take you to your tent. Must be scheduled in advance. Check in is between 3pm and 9pm only. The host does not live on property and travels for your scheduled check in time.

Escape the Strip Without Leaving the Magic Behind Las Vegas may be booming, but we found this hidden desert treasure before the crowds discovered it. Tucked away on a quiet, peaceful road just far enough from the neon lights, our spot gives you the perfect mix: easy access to all the excitement of the Strip (only 9 miles / 15 minutes away), yet serene enough to truly unwind under the stars. Welcome to Beagletopia — home of the Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation. While you’re here, you might spot a happy beagle or two enjoying their forever home or temporary home. It’s a one-of-a-kind desert retreat where you can pitch your tent, park your RV, or simply soak in the calm — all while knowing your stay supports a great cause. About This Land Roll up to your own private desert oasis — a true dry-camping haven designed for self-contained RVs and tents (bring your generator — no hookups here). Wake up to sweeping desert vistas, breathtaking sunrises, and the distant glow of the Las Vegas Strip on the horizon.You’re conveniently close to everything that matters: Shopping and dining (just minutes away) Raiders practice stadium I-15 freeway (5 minutes) Red Rock Canyon’s stunning trails (25 minutes) Mt. Charleston’s cool pines and hiking (about 1 hour) Your Stay Makes a Real Difference Every booking directly helps the Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation give abandoned and unwanted beagles a second chance at a happy life. As you relax by the fire or stargaze, you might also spot desert locals — speedy roadrunners, curious jackrabbits, or the occasional coyote. And yes, you may hear the joyful bark or gentle howl of our rescued beagles greeting the morning — but it’s peaceful and far from constant. Whether you’re craving a chill boondocking getaway, a quick Vegas adventure basecamp, or a meaningful escape with heart, this is your spot. Come experience the best of the desert — serenity, space, and a little beagle magic.

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)

Your Grand Canyon base camp, away from the crowds. Stargazing at 3.6 on the Bortle scale. Ultimate serenity with bohemian vibes. Mohave Sunset House (Blackbrush Wilds on Instagram) is a handcrafted 107 sq ft pine cabin on 1.25 private acres, tucked against Iron Mountain at 3,800 feet. You're just 19 miles from Grand Canyon West's iconic Skywalk. The drive in takes you straight through a protected Joshua tree forest. The cabin sits at its edge, where the trees thin out and the views open wide. From the cabin you can see the Grand Wash Cliffs, Meadview, and on a clear day even Lake Mead. Best for one guest or two close companions. The bed is a single, so a second guest should bring a sleeping pad. STARGAZING At 3.6 on the Bortle scale, the skies are dark enough for excellent stargazing. On a clear night you can see the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Orion Nebula. Mornings and evenings are cool, the air smells of sage, and the desert breeze is wonderful. THE CABIN - A brand-new single mattress on a built-in daybed, with fresh linens and a two light cotton throws. - Two large windows and a door window that open for cross-ventilation - A fold-down table and sturdy handmade benches, one covered in sheepskin and the other in old lace - Solar lights around the cabin at night (I can take them down on request for darker skies) KITCHEN - Propane stovetop with a fresh canister - Butcher block counter with a sink and grey water system for dishes and brushing teeth - Glass potable water dispenser - Vintage steel beverage cooler, big enough for a quart of milk and a couple of steaks (bring ice) - Plates, bowls, mugs, glasses, and cutlery for two - Pot, pan, ladle, strainer, knife, can opener, and drip coffee maker - 36" fire ring with firewood, a small saw, and a new 44" grill grate for steaks and veggies BATHROOM & SHOWER The "bathroom" is a private olive-green tent with a toilet, toilet paper, and a solar light. As in many national parks, you bag your waste (bags provided) and pack it out. There's also a pressurized solar camp shower, which takes 4 gallons of water for a warm shower. WATER: PLEASE READ There's no well or water storage on site. At least one gallon will be waiting for you. Plan on about 2 gallons per person per day, plus 4 gallons to fill the solar shower. Skip the water run: I can have 5 extra gallons waiting for you for $25. Just request it when you book. Prefer to bring your own? The Chevron and Dollar Store in Meadview have water at reasonable prices. SLOW DOWN This place is intentionally simple. Borrow the knitting needles and vintage yarn, or browse books on Buddhism, Tibetan mysticism, the Grand Canyon, and Longfellow's Hiawatha. It's perfect for a digital detox or a quiet weekend. If you knit yourself something, I'll replace the yarn. NEARBY - Grand Canyon West Skywalk: 19 miles - Grand Canyon West Ranch: 5 miles, with horseback riding, helicopter rides, a gun range, a petting farm, and nightly entertainment, including a group marshmallow roast and singing cowboy. - Meadview: 10 miles, with gas, groceries, diners, shops, a farmers market, ice cream, a post office, and a library - Lake Mead (South Cove): about 15 miles, for swimming and sightseeing - Further out: Las Vegas is under 2 hours away; Zion and Bryce are about 4 hours -Willow Creek: Willow Creek, with emerald green clear water is about 1.5 hours away. Canoeing and swimming available. RESPECTING THE LAND - Please stay within the property. The corners are marked with rock piles, and the eastern edge is about 20 feet past the big juniper. You have a nice stretch of land to the east of the property, from the road, to out past the Juniper tree about 20 feet. The land extends about 120 feet beyond the front of the cabin as well. There is a nice long drive behind the cabin, which extends to Iron Mountain, with massive boulders and trees for exploration and appreciation. - The road up the mountain leads to public BLM land. Check a map first; purple flags or signs mark private property. - Rockhounds welcome! On BLM land, you can collect up to 25 pounds of rocks per day for personal use (up to 250 pounds per year). Hand tools only, no machinery, and please don't sell what you find. Respect any posted signs or mining claims. - Please don't step on, collect, or cut plants for firewood. Agave and cholla take many years to regrow. - Please leave the quartz on the property in place, though you're welcome to take one souvenir piece from the driveway. QUESTIONS? Message me anytime. This is my happiest place, and I hope it becomes yours too.

This is my personal property located about 50 minutes between Las Vegas and Kingman, Arizona. You can visit the West Rim of the Grand Canyon for the day, head to the lake communities of Arizona within an hour, or simply relax on this rural, quiet, fenced property. If you have off-road vehicles, such as RZRs, you can bring them and ride the nearby trails around White Hills. There is one RV site with electricity, or guests can boondock. A washer/dryer and a dog-wash station are available in the shed. I am also in the process of renovating one of the shipping containers on the property into a gym. If you want to get away for a few days or a week to enjoy the outdoors while still having modern conveniences, this is a great place. Guests must be self-contained, as there are no bathroom facilities.

It is a nice area to ride or hike around and explore.. It is about 5.5 miles in, up the road behind the Grand Canyon Glamping Resort. The dirt roads are not too bad. High clearence recommended. We Usually see Wildlife, Pronghorn Antelope and Mule Deer. There are Often also cattle grazing in the area. There is a view of meadview, lake Mead , And Vegas at night, from atop the grand wash cliff about a mile NW and of Part of Grand Canyon 2 miles up the road and a short walk (a couple hundred yards), i would have to send you a GPS pin for that spot. Our phone usually seem to be able to get service up there. It is common for Grand Canyon tour helicopters to pass low overhead.
