Havens Ranch is a 154 acres in the Humboldt river valley just 10 minutes outside of Winnemucca, NV. We have a small outdoor wedding venue, and only rent our spaces when we are not hosting an event. You are welcome to utilize the grounds and facilities, which include a beautifully landscaped lawn, historic buildings and modern plumed bathrooms. We also provide access to fresh well water and use of our large fire pits!
**Please note that our bathrooms are not insulated and so we winterize the plumbing the in the colder months and will instead be providing a porta-john. There will still be potable running water available at the spigot. **
The river is a short walk away, and our longhorn cattle will most likely be grazing in the adjacent field. We have incredible sunsets and a variety of wildlife living on the property. This is a great space to get away from the city for a weekend, or camp for a night on your way through town.
We have both a guest suite and several camping spaces available. It's a large property and we love to share it!
If you are looking for outdoor activities, we are just minutes away from the Winnemucca Dunes OHV area (also great for hiking!), Water Canyon rec site, the Bloody Shins mountain biking trail system, and about an hour away from the Paradise Valley rock climbing area. We are 10 minutes from Winnemucca, about half way between Reno and Elko.

Private high-desert escape with wide-open skies, zero light pollution, and total solitude. 40.9419° N latitude and -117.4116° W longitude
Enjoy true off-grid camping on this private high-desert property just outside Golconda, Nevada, at 15550 Morgan Drive. This wide-open land offers quiet nights, expansive views, and excellent stargazing—perfect for campers looking to unplug and spread out.
This is a primitive, dispersed camping experience. There is no power, no water, and no hookups on-site. Guests must arrive fully self-contained and pack out everything they bring in, including all trash and waste. Campsites are unmarked, allowing you the flexibility to choose your own spot. We ask that you remain respectful and mindful of other campers by allowing generous space between setups and keeping noise and lights low.
Access Information: Please be aware that the road leading to the property is rough and bumpy in places. While it is passable for most vehicles in dry conditions, high clearance is strongly recommended. Guests should drive slowly and carefully at all times.
What to Expect: You can look forward to primitive, off-grid boondocking with no power or water provided on this pack-it-in and pack-it-out property. The unmarked, dispersed camping allows you to choose your own site within a quiet high-desert setting featuring wide-open skies.
The location offers excellent sunsets and world-class stargazing, all while maintaining easy access near Golconda and the I-80 corridor. The property is pet-friendly with supervision and is best suited for respectful, experienced campers who appreciate simple desert camping and leaving no trace.
Important Arrival Notes: There is no signage or marked campsites on the property, so we recommend arriving before dark if possible to navigate the terrain. Please drive slowly as the road is uneven in spots, and remember that high clearance is recommended, especially after recent rain.
