Van campers can pull over the berm onto the property after checking in with the host, gaining access to expansive desert views and notable privacy. The Wild Mustang sits in remote high desert terrain where clear night skies provide excellent stargazing conditions. A fire pit accommodates evening campfires, while the surrounding landscape offers the raw desert atmosphere that defines this part of Nevada.
The campground operates as a private property with reservations available and welcomes pets. Road access proves straightforward despite the remote feel once campers arrive on-site. For those preferring more developed facilities, Nevada Treasure RV Resort provides additional amenities about 8 miles south.
Description
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind camping experience in the heart of the Mojave Desert, where history, mystery, and breathtaking nature converge. This is no ordinary campsite — it’s a land of legends, once roamed by the infamous Butch Cassidy. Imagine pitching your tent on the very grounds that may hold his final resting place.
Nestled near the historic Johnnie Mine, our campsite offers a window into the region's fascinating mining history. Once a booming gold mining site in the late 1800s, Johnnie Mine is now a quiet yet intriguing reminder of Nevada's vibrant past.
Just 18 miles away, adventure awaits at Devils Hole, home to the world-famous Devils Hole Pupfish, one of the rarest fish species on Earth. Witness this marvel of nature in its secluded desert oasis, surrounded by an untouched and awe-inspiring landscape.
For those seeking even more adventure, Death Valley National Park is a short drive away. Explore the iconic sand dunes, salt flats, and rugged canyons of one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. Return to your campsite under the vast desert sky, where the stars shine brighter than anywhere else.
Whether you’re a history buff, a rockhound, or a nature lover, this spot is perfect for those craving an authentic desert experience. Camp where outlaws once roamed, explore remnants of Nevada’s gold rush, and reconnect with nature in the quiet beauty of the Mojave.
