Glamping near Searchlight with hiking

2 nights at Retro Camper with Mountain Views

This was my first time glamping and it was such a fun experience! The RV was cute and cozy and the town had so much history to learn

1 night at Mojave Desert Ranch

This camping site was charming from the photos but exceeded my expectations once we got there. The Ravens Nest Tipi towards the back of the ranch was so awesome 👌🏼 There were outlets, lights, pots and pans, grilling equipment for the bonfire, and even skewers for smores! I can definitely see that Sandy Valley Ranch cares about your experience. They even had things that people would probably forget like bug spray available for you to use. Even for a seemingly middle of nowhere camping site in the middle of the desert, they really make it so easy for guests. I hope to bring my mom here to experience it too! 10/10 would recommend

It was a great place to see the sunset and sunrise! I loved having the animals and took the best trail ride right from the ranch. The hummingbird had all the basics I needed. The signs to the camp were great, as I came in after dark and had no problem finding it.

Vintage camper with full deck, hammock, and lounge chairs.

Everything was as described, place was clean, easy access to hikes & groovy desert landscapes. Live music at Pioneer Saloon across the street ends at 10pm. Would love to hang out here again sometime.

A lovely stay in a beautiful and cozy setup. We were worried we might be chilly as temps weren’t too high, but the site was well equipped with heated blankets, extra blankets, and a space heater. The hosts also responded very promptly when the propane tank for the space heater had run empty. We also loved the outdoor shower and kitchen. Overall a great spot to stay, and a great experience spending time on the ranch and in the nearby town!

Our stay in the retro trailer was utterly delightful. The trailer was clean, cozy and inviting. Goodsprings is the perfect rural down-home alternative of the blaze and bling of Vegas, which sits just 35 miles away. Dinner at the historic Pioneer Saloon was delicious, and felt like an authentic piece of NV mining past. We Highly recommend the retro trailer to others.

Perfect weekend in a perfectly authentic little retro camper! Wasn’t sure what to expect from this little town. Peace and rest was what my dog and I needed since vet’s diagnosis. The vibe I n this town was perfect, a safe calming environment. With an Old running saloon, to get a little crazy if one’s thirsty. Even though we were content to chill in our cozy camper.

I dont even know where to start on expressing my gratitude about this place. The tepee is wonderful, its so gorgeous and so well maintained, you can clearly see how they truly care about your experience, the ranch animals are amazing and the ranch dogs will come around to give you cuddles which its a huge plus. But foremost I would like to highlight my personal experience with Sandi the manager of the ranch, I left something super important at the ranch and she went above and beyond to make sure it would get to me in time, I cant express enough my gratitude on that and how this is clearly more than a business, its a place with such good caring people and amazing glamping sites at the same time. Thank you so much for an amazing night out under the starts and also for helping me on a personal level. I would absolutely come back! You should DEFINITELY stay in this place❤️

Everything went extremely well. Check-in was smooth, we were greeted by a cowboy which was cool. He was very nice as you'd imagine. We admired the horses in the afternoon, and the sunset at night was really nice. The stars were bright and the firepit was great! Airstream was clean, bathroom was easy to use. Loved the vibes all together. 10/10

An aesthetically-pleasing camper with a functional toilet and kitchen appliances. Definitely no complaints there. The view in the morning was spectacular (and nostalgic for me). It felt private and unique, and the instructions from the host were thorough.

This was the third stop on my best friend's 7-state 30th birthday road trip in February, and we arrived after dark, but that was no trouble at all thanks to the pleasant lighting and our hosts having set everything up for us so nicely! The camper is small - as expected - but really fun and comfy once you get used to maneuvering, hehe. The interior, deck, shower, and general surroundings all seemed immaculately clean (given the dusty terrain, I was extra impressed), and the tasty drinks were greatly appreciated. The bed looked tiny at first, but once you're actually set up in it, it has plenty of space, and provided one of if not the comfiest and most restful sleeps of our expedition. Waking up just after sunrise and seeing the landscape for the first time was glorious; the desert stretches away so far that it feels like looking out over the ocean. The outdoor shower combined with the Winter wind was, hehe, invigorating and - to my pal's delight - inspired me to bathe so quickly that she didn't have to wait around for me at all; it really was amusing, though, and thanks to the sunshine and the cozy towels provided by our hosts, I was warm and dry real quick. Sadly, we didn't have time to hang around, but this would be a lovely place to do so, and we fully recommend staying here! P.S. Ah, and my pal left her binoculars - on purpose - for future guests, because it was such a great vantage point from which to use them!

1 night at Sandy Valley Ranch

It wasn't as isolated as I thought considering it was directly in front of another house and surrounding structures but it was secluded. I almost didn't find it. It was extremely quaint and well equipped with necessary amenities. The trailer itself was extremely small. If I was a little larger in frame I wouldn't have been able to use the restroom. And I hit my head on the cabinet a couple times going in and out until I remembered to duck, but it was comfortable all in all. There's plenty of room outside the camper on the deck. And plenty of space for a tent if additional people wanted to stay. Just don't forget to bring the tent like I did. But the host was accommodating and provided me one and in record time. The local saloon across the street had a live band that provided acoustics I could hear from the trailer which was nice. And I didn't have to walk far to enjoy the local feel. Heather, the host, responded to every question, concern, and request very promptly. I had to end my trip early due to no fault of Hipcamp and would definitely return and request to others. The scenery was beautiful if you looked past the immediate area and over to the mountains which were so close you could walk to. And you needed anything there was a store a close drive away.

It’s always a pleasure staying in Sandy valley. My son and I enjoyed every moment of it.

1 night at Mojave Desert Ranch

This spot was a beautiful place to escape to after a week of work. All the sites we booked were clean and cozy and Sandi was very kind to us. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay.

This place was the perfect rest spot on our way home from Death Valley. The space was very cozy, and felt very spacious even though it’s a tiny home.
