About this property

True Off-the-Grid Desert Camping

This is desolate and empty land (please also check it out on HipCamp for all you serious campers out there!) **Please be advised there are no accommodations for sleeping or bathrooms. I do not provide beds or tents. This is strictly open land for those who want to bring their own camping materials.**
This is a property for those who really want to experience the desert at night. Camp under the stars with nothing else except the stark beauty of this completely undeveloped landscape. There's so much to do if you are open to the total experience of what desert life can provide. You never know who you will meet!


Pack it in, pack it out, please!
You may roll up in your own RV, camper, tents, trucks, yurts, sleeping bags - pretty much whatever you would like. There is plenty of space.



I am a very flexible host and I would love to accommodate any artists coming to the area. If you wish to set up camp and put up your own installation or host a small community for artistic or creative purposes....please message me and we'll chat. I'm always open to fresh ideas about what to do with the land. You would be welcome to stay and utilize it for however long you'd like.
The accommodation features a separate bedroom.
