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 Intersection GPS coordinates of property: 35.9845206, -114.0983649 Other 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)(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.

Lake Mead Overlook

Did some cat camping here and loved it. Spectacular views from the site and from a short (less than 50yds) walk away. Sites are level and clean and very easy to find. Lake Mead access is a short drive away and there's a Joshua tree forest on the way to the site.

Happy Camper

We left Vegas a little later than we wanted to so we missed the sunset bummer. We did however find camp very easily and set up in time to enjoy the DARK SKY. We saw a rare Green Comet that was pretty awesome. Never spoke or text Ken as we easily found the property, It was a lot like staying on BLM property but we had the piece of mind that we had permission to stay and wouldn't have any unknown visitors. It's always. The fear I have when we primitive camp is accidentally being on someone's property without permission lol overall great experience and would consider going back just to explore the area a little more.

Amazing solitary views

Great spot, amazing views! Very windy while we were there but kept it cool. Lots of cacti but definitely a sweet spot! Didn't see many people on the starlight but everyone we did seemed super friendly. We will definitely be back.
