Tour the historic one room Goffs Schoolhouse (on the National Register of Historic Places) and enjoy the self-guided walking tour through time exploring the history of the East Mojave Desert including railroad, mining, ranching, homesteading and quirky high desert artifacts like the Mojave Booth, the Mojave Road school bus and the Mojave Cross.We are located at the south east corner of the Mojave National Preserve. Use Goffs as your home base to explore the park and the Mojave Trails National Monument to the south. Enjoy beautiful dark skies for star gazing and the Milkyway. We are located on Route 66 and about an hour and half from Joshua Tree National Park.

Site needsto improve communication
Impossible to communicate effectively with hosts at 8pm on evening of arrival - phone button did not work in app and no reply to my messages. Found a locked gate late at night on arrival due to issues on the road. Not a great experience having to camp on the side of the road a few hundred meters from the site we had paid for.

Cool place to stay!

We enjoyed our one night here. The parking space was roomy for our 40ft RV, and we loved that they provided electric and water hookups. The museum is fun to walk around. We took a trip over to the Kelso Dunes in Mojave. The only downside is how loud the train is throughout the night.

Sleeping in the middle of a museum
30 ft Class C · With kids
The spot was amazing with a lot of history. You really sleep in the middle of a museum. Jim, who welcomed us, was super nice and took the time to show us the place. The only bad fact is that the place is close to the railroad. If you like trains you’ll love the spot.

Staying at Goff’s Schoolhouse was awesome. Got there just in time to see sunset and staff greeted us at the gate and showed us an amazing location that we could really experience the beauty of the land as the sun went down. Bathrooms were so amazing and clean, shower was wonderful. We had to leave a little early so we didn’t get to experience the library or museum but did walk around and the space has been so week curated - 10/10 on this spot. Thanks to everyone there!
