Meadview RV Park & Cozy Cabins

25 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 4 Tent Sites

Meadview RV Park & Cozy Cabins in Meadview, AZ, offers 25 full-hookup RV sites, 1 cabin, and 4 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 42 feet. Sites are split between an upper level and a lower level, all back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric with a picnic table and barbecue, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a dump station cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. This is a small, straightforward park — full hookups, level sites, and a quiet night in country where the nearest services are a long way off. There's no recreation program on the grounds, which is fitting given what's outside them. Meadview sits at about 3,400 feet in the remote northwest Arizona strip country, where the western Grand Canyon meets Lake Mead — Grand Canyon West and the Colorado River are the reason to make the drive. Rates for sites, the cabin, and tent spots are on the booking page. Stock up on supplies before you arrive; this is a genuinely remote corner of the state.

Boulder Creek RV Resort

68 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

Boulder Creek RV Resort in Lone Pine, California, offers 68 full-hookup RV sites and three cabins at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Back-in and pull-through 30/50-amp categories join a pool, hot tub, spa, recreation center, and library beneath Mount Whitney. Sixty-eight sites run in back-in 30/50-amp and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. Three cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a recreation center, clubhouse, library, playground, dog park, and walking trails filling the grounds. A lake and creek support fishing, hiking runs in every direction, and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. The setting is among the most visually spectacular of any campground in California. Mount Whitney rises to 14,505 feet — the highest peak in the contiguous United States — directly above the Alabama Hills, whose rounded granite formations have served as the backdrop for hundreds of films. Lone Pine sits in the Owens Valley between the Sierra's eastern escarpment and the White Mountains, with Death Valley to the east. Spring and fall are most comfortable in the Owens Valley, with summer bringing Whitney permit-holders and hikers. Reserve well ahead for the climbing season.

Anasazi Palms

25 RV Sites

Anasazi Palms RV Park in Littlefield, Arizona, offers 25 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, in the Virgin River Gorge corridor. Spacious sites with mountain views and a clubhouse serve travelers on I-15 between Las Vegas and St. George. Twenty-five back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 80 feet. The 80-foot capacity handles a long coach with a tow comfortably, and the sites are genuinely spacious rather than packed tight — the main reason travelers pick this over a highway lot. Laundry and a clubhouse handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. On-site amenities stay practical, with biking from the property and off-roading nearby. Guests here are moving through or using the park as a base for the surrounding canyon country, and the amenity set reflects that honestly. Littlefield sits in Mohave County in the extreme northwestern corner of Arizona — the Arizona Strip — where the Virgin River Gorge's limestone canyon walls frame I-15 in the most geologically dramatic section of the entire route. The gorge gives the community its canyon-country identity at the gateway between the Nevada desert and the Utah red rock plateau, and the mountain vistas from the sites are the reason to stop rather than push on. The park operates on the I-15 corridor year-round, with winter snowbird migration and spring and fall touring seasons driving the heaviest traffic. Summer heat is considerable in the gorge. Reserve ahead for the shoulder seasons.

Joshua Tree Lake RV & Campground

39 RV Sites, 79 Tent Sites

Joshua Tree Lake RV Campground in Joshua Tree, California, provides a lakeside and desert camping experience at the gateway to Joshua Tree National Park—the 800,000-acre California desert preserve where the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts converge and the iconic twisted Joshua trees create the alien landscape that has made this park one of the most photographed national parks in the American West. The campground's pond and lake, wedding venue, live music programming, and exceptional dark-sky stargazing access distinguish it from the park's own developed campgrounds, providing resort-amenity camping with the Joshua Tree character—moonlit boulder piles, star-filled desert skies, and the haunting silhouettes of Yucca brevifolia in the desert night—that defines the high-desert camping experience at the edge of one of California's most beloved national parks. The campground's facility reflects the desert environment and destination event character: a private lake and pond for fishing and desert water recreation, planned activities and live music and entertainment programming that takes advantage of the dramatic desert landscape setting, a wedding venue for celebrations in the Joshua Tree destination event market, bird and wildlife watching in the desert tortoise and roadrunner habitat, a general store, pavilion, showers, bathrooms, dump station, pet-friendly policies, Wi-Fi, and mountain and desert views that frame every camping site with the park scenery that brought guests to Joshua Tree in the first place. Stargazing events and the campground's exceptional night-sky access provide the evening programming that no facilities can improve upon in this dark-sky desert. Joshua Tree National Park's Wonderland of Rocks—a concentration of massive rounded granite monoliths that rose from magma intrusions 100 million years ago and were exposed by erosion to create the boulder-pile landscape that defines the park's distinctive visual character—contains over 8,000 documented rock climbing routes that have made Joshua Tree the most visited and most iconic rock climbing destination in North America. The Skull Rock Nature Trail, Keys View's panoramic Coachella Valley overlook, and the Cottonwood Spring oasis in the Sonoran Desert section provide the representative national park experiences accessible on day hikes from the campground's Joshua Tree gateway position. The town of Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms, and the High Desert arts and culture community that has grown around the national park's western gateway have developed a distinctive creative culture of galleries, music venues, and the annual Joshua Tree Music Festival that reflect the desert landscape's effect on artistic practice in the creative community that has colonized the Morongo Valley's high desert terrain. The Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum in Joshua Tree—a free outdoor sculpture garden of assemblage art created by Purifoy from the debris of the 1965 Watts Riots—is one of the most significant and unusual outdoor art installations in California. Joshua Tree Lake RV Campground operates year-round in the high Mojave Desert's four-season climate, with the fall and spring seasons from October through April delivering the most comfortable desert temperatures for hiking, rock climbing, and boulder exploration in Joshua Tree National Park—the summer months above 100 degrees Fahrenheit make the park's sun-exposed terrain genuinely dangerous for unprepared hikers in the heat of the day, while the mild winter nights create extraordinary stargazing conditions when the desert air's low humidity and the campground's minimal light pollution combine with the Milky Way's winter arc over the park's boulder silhouettes. The spring wildflower season in February and March after winter rains creates the desert bloom that brings maximum visitor volume to Joshua Tree.

2 Cabins

Cabins at Joshua Tree Lake in Joshua Tree, CA, offers 6 air-conditioned cabin and hostel accommodations, operated in partnership with Hostel Cubed.

The property sits at 2601 Sunfair Road in the high desert community of Joshua Tree, with immediate access to Joshua Tree National Park, the Integratron, Pioneertown, and the stargazing that draws people to this stretch of the Mojave in the first place. Rates for cabins and hostel beds are on the booking page. Spring and fall are the comfortable seasons and book first — call about RV accommodation before you tow.

Grey Squirrel Resorts

19 Cottages

Grey Squirrel Resort in Fawnskin, CA, offers 19 private cabins across three wooded acres on the north shore of Big Bear Lake. This is a cabin resort rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. A general store, firewood, a spa, and WiFi serve guests, and the resort is open all year. Pets are welcome. The property also hosts weddings. A pond, walking trails, horseshoes, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, mountain biking, and birding fill the grounds, with skiing and snowboarding close in winter and golf nearby. Fawnskin sits on Big Bear Lake's quieter north shore, away from the village bustle on the south side. The resort has welcomed families, couples, and group retreats since the 1950s — more than seven decades of mountain hospitality in the same place. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Ski season and summer both fill Big Bear — reserve ahead, and call about RV accommodation before you tow.

One hundred thirty-seven sites span back-in, pull-through, and Sprinter van/small RV categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables. The dedicated small-rig category is a genuinely useful distinction — van travelers do not pay for space they cannot use. Three apartments and 10 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a pond, community fire pit, walking trails, corn hole, and a playground filling the grounds.

Eagle Valley Resort

27 RV Sites

Eagle Valley Resort in Pioche, Nevada, offers 27 RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, in the high desert basin-and-range country of Lincoln County. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-ins and pull-throughs sit alongside a general store, game room, and laundry in one of the Great Basin's least-visited corners. Twenty-seven sites run in full-hookup back-ins, water-and-electric back-ins, and water-and-electric pull-throughs, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet. A general store, propane fills, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day carry a three-night minimum. Pets are welcome. A game room and arcade cover indoor hours, with fishing and hiking from the surrounding country and a national park within reach. The isolation is the appeal here — this is genuine Great Basin remoteness, which suits travelers specifically seeking it rather than those passing through. Pioche's history is worth the stop. In the 1870s it was Nevada's wildest and most violent silver camp — a community so lawless that 72 men reportedly died with their boots on before anyone died of natural causes. That story is now told more quietly through the Lincoln County courthouse and the restored Pioche Exchange building, and the surrounding landscape preserves the geological and frontier history in largely undiscovered form. Spring and fall deliver the most comfortable high desert conditions. Reserve ahead for the three-night minimum holiday weekends.
