The Schellraiser music festival offers a variety of seasonal camping options on our 80-acre private campground in the cool high desert of far Eastern Nevada's Steptoe Valley, near the small town of McGill. Our Lotus Belle-brand bell tents are solar powered and fully furnished, with king-, queen- and twin-size beds, Avocado-brand mattresses, rugs, loveseats, floor lamps, charging ports and wi-fi service. Our campground also features two solar-powered shipping container homes; the larger of the two homes also has a small kitchen area and now serves as our clubhouse from Thursday through Sunday nights. Car camping and pitch-your-own-tent sites without power are available, as well, as are furnished yurts without power. We currently have a heated six-unit restroom/shower trailer on site. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, TO ENSURE THAT OUR CAMPGROUND MEETS YOUR EXPECTATIONS: We are a totally off-grid campground, in an extremely remote part of rural Eastern Nevada. To reach our campground, you must travel eight-tenths of a mile off the main highway, on a dirt road that is susceptible to flooding from record snowmelt from April to mid-July during wet years. Drivers with Teslas and other low-clearance vehicles are strongly advised to look elsewhere for lodging; Subaru drivers may actually enjoy the brief trip out. PLEASE READ ALL CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS, OUR FIRE BAN ADVISORY AND CAMPGROUND RULES BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR STAY WITH US. ABOUT THE AREA: Schellraiser is just minutes away from the High Schells and Bristlecone wilderness areas, and within an hour's drive of Nevada's wildest mountain and desert scenery. High peaks, rugged canyons, wild rock formations, natural hot springs and ghost towns are all around us, and the surrounding area is teeming with wildlife, including the state's largest elk herd. ABOUT US: We're the home base of the annual Schellraiser micro-fest, which brings bands like Ladytron, Mercury Rev, Blonde Redhead, Asleep At The Wheel, The Joy Formidable, Blitzen Trapper, Old 97's, Houndmouth, Death Valley Girls, Titus Andronicus, Nikki Lane, Shannon Shaw and BRONCHO to the nearby McGill Pool Park each June.

Will come back again

Site was very well maintained and the host was very friendly and welcoming. Honestly a great place to camp even if just for the night. I wish I had stayed longer because those tents and cabins looked spectacular.

Great camping, sink faucets - meh

Great camp host, easy to find. You can now use google maps, it tells you to turn on the correct street and takes you to the front of the campground. It is on a short dirt road but very accessible to any car types. The bathrooms are not close to many of the camp sites except a few tents. You will have to drive to the bathroom or plan a decent walk. This might be a challenge if you have a car tent on top of your car. The bathrooms have showers and it is easy to operate. The main problem with the bathroom is the sink faucet, a very poor design as the faucet is too short and barely reaches over the sink edge. You spill water everywhere and can hardly wash your hands.

We loved our stay here! We needed a pit stop between Colorado and home, and were so thankful to find this place. The directions were exact, and we loved all the open sky. There are many pathways around the campsite with sculptures to view. The tents themselves were so cute and comfortable. We will definitely camp here again in the future. Brian, who lives onsite, was so friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and showers were lovely, and we really just enjoyed the whole experience.

Nice place. Bathrooms could be more centrally located to all units. We were in a tent and it was a way to use the restrooms.
