48mi from Boulder City · 1 siteThis beautiful pine cabin is small but lovely. The views are hard to do justice in words. You are situated up high, so as to view the whole valley and plateau. The stars are bright and appear closer, as the area is off grid and far from city lights. The air is soft and fragrant with sage. The wind is delicious on a hot day. You can spy the Grand Wash Cliffs off to the right. You are just 18 miles from the Grand canyon, and the spirit of the Wild West is still felt here. There is a spirituality to the place. Mohave high desert plants abound, including agave, teddy bear cholla, brittle brush, sage, joshua trees and juniper trees. The camp site is 1.25 acres, but not marked with more than a pile of rocks in each corner. please be respectful of the boundary and don't stray more than 10 feet past the big juniper tree off to the east. The cabin boasts three windows, that can be opened for ventilation. There is one brand new mattress and pillow with new linens, a light weight cotton throw and several new cotton towels and hand cloths hanging from butterfly hooks. There is a small table and chairs, and a propane cooker. We also have bowls, plates, glassware and cutlery for two. There are solar lights adorning the cabin at night, and a campfire ring for small discrete camp fires. Please be aware of the heat-there is no water on site, so make sure to stock up on gallons at the Chevron station or in Meadview. The Dollar Store is excellent for necessities. Meadview boasts several excellent places to eat-I prefer the Boathouse. The mornings and evening are cool, but mid-day can be very hot. I would plan activities for the day hours, to avoid sweltering Arizona heat. The Grand canyon is minutes away. the Diamond Bar ranch offers free entertainment and is a trove of historical information. Lake Mead (South Cove) is great for swimming and sight seeing. There are several cute shops in Meadview to shop for locally made wares. Go prospecting or check out a gun range. There are millions of acres of BLM land to explore-just please check a map and make sure you are not on private property. If you see a purple sig, that is the international symbol for private property. Please respect the plant life and do not trample any plants. the Mohave desert is a magical place, and it takes many years to grow back a casually destroyed agave or cholla. I can be contacted for more info, please feel free to call me if you have any questions!
