Best RV Parks & Resorts near Baker, CA

Rustic hot springs with very friendly staff. Community pool with LED lighting. Open air private baths to stargaze while you soak your tired bones. RV hookups poolside. Conveniently located restrooms and showers. Water is mineral water, so drink if ready for a cleanse.

Recommended by a friend, this place did not disappoint. We arrived around 3 on a rainy day, checked in ($35/person) and had a full hook-up but only used the electric. Got in a soak before dinner in one of the 4 private tub rooms. Each has a shower and is open to the sky. Later that evening we enjoyed the swimming pool and outdoor spa, then a private soak and shower sans suit . One more stew in the am before checkout left us refreshed, relaxed and ready for the drive into Death Valley.

“Old School” RV Park, with several “cabin” options and no tent-specific sites — 

BUT The Water...?  Oh, YEAH!!! Spectacular new pool area with 4 HOT tubs (105-107) which overflow into the main pool (90-95), open 24/7 except for cleaning...

6? private, clothing-optional soaking tubs, one open-to-the-Sky.

23ft rv Beginning of april The camping area is small. There was one can there when we arrived on Friday , early in the day. By 5 pm there were several vehicles. Another rv parked about 30 ft away and a van pulled in at night and was about 15 ft behind us. The area is very pretty. Great mountains etc. bit if garbage around which always bums. Me out. Spent shell casings.
It’s ok in a pinch for sure and I could see it being good mid week when maybe nobody is around.

This place is not much of a campground, but it makes up for it in being a super cool, chilled out, low key hot spring. The sites are pretty close together like a lot of other RV parks, and there are very few trees, it’s the desert afterall, but the landscape is stunning! 

There are hiking, biking, and ATV roads just off the property, in addition to a few other locally maintained hot pools, so you can get out and enjoy the desert. There are luxurious and clean indoor private pools that allow groups of 8 or less to soak for 30 minutes, and a large outdoor pool with smaller hot tubs right around the perimeter available 24 hours a day. 

The resort offers flush toilets and hot showers as well as some pretty slow wifi closer to the office. We had pretty spotty Verizon service in the area but that’s not why you come here. You come to soak, to chill out and get away from all those notifications. And this place allows you to do it. 

Additionally there are some small and sparsely decorated cabins and guest rooms for folks without an RV or camping gear. All of the sites have electricity and nearby water, but we never need hook ups because our solar panel system works simply and beautifully out in the desert sun, and everywhere else we’ve been. 

Locally, there isn’t much in the way of food except a local steakhouse, bistro and brewery serving barbeque, we didn’t checkout any of them. We did make a day trip down to China Ranch for some amazing Date Shakes and Mediterranean fare. There’s some great hiking down there as well, and well worth the bike ride or drive. 

The closest town with all the regular services is Pahrump Nevada, about 45 minutes away.

Paved road into campsite (about 20miles). Campground itself is smooth gravel. Well spaced and mostly level sites with beautiful desert vegetation between sites. First come, first serve. Almost empty in late Oct. $12/night. No hookups but access to potable water and a sanidump. Very clean pit toilets. Friendly and informative host. Access to trails right from campground, and information center within sight.

Was driving out late and need a place to crash found this campground and came in the dark didn't know what to expect. Woke up to a excellent sunrise and a great camp. Options for RVs all the way to pop up tents has water that's clean, clean toilets, and both garbage and recycling bins

If you find yourself traveling through the Mojave along the 15 between L.A. and Vegas, do yourself a favor and stop off at this little gem of a campground. Located in Afton Canyon, this BLM Campground offers plenty of level sites, compete with concrete picnic tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. There are also pit toilets. The drive in is a bumpy dirt road about 3 miles off of the 15 along Afton Creek Rd. It was more suitable for all-wheel drive cars (esp when wet I imagine), but we saw everything from a Prius to a Class C motor home. We came in at night and found it almost empty, which was a nice change of pace. We went to sleep listening to coyotes howl in the distance. There is also the occasional train that comes through on the adjacent tracks, but it is more melodic than disturbing. The morning brought a riot of colors from the surrounding cliff faces and quickly warmed the cool desert morning. This is one of the few places the Mojave River runs above ground, so the place is teeming with birds and other wildlife. Definitely worth the stop.

Hole in The Wall has plenty to offer with hikes and views all around. The ring trail is interesting. Basic facility with pit toilets, tables, fire rings and water. But water may be seasonal. No hookups available for RV's. Gets windy at night with down canyon flows after sunset. $12 a night, passes are accepted. Nice area for star gazing.

Where to begin about this amazing little hidden gem whether you want to camp in a tent or in an rv this place is epic. They do have scorpions so be aware that your in desert and they are around. Buttttt besides that the hot springs are amazing and all the little natural springs throughout here are great!!! This is desert camping with hook ups! The stars are bright and your nearby to Death Valley. The people Running the hot springs are really what make this place amazing

This is one of my favorite campgrounds.  It's easy to get to and is in the middle of the beautiful Mojave Preserve.  All camp sites now must be reserved on Recreation.Gov.  Luckily, we had enough bars on Verizon to do it on the spot when we arrived.  We found plenty of sites available that were large enough for our 30 foot travel trailer.  The campground was only about a quarter full.

Although the campground is dry camping, there is a dump site and water is available to top off your tank.  They also provide trash receptacles.  

The nearby visitor center closes at 1500, and there is no store or fuel in Mojave.  Most people drive to Baker, CA for fuel, or over to AZ, about an hour away.  I would come next time with a fuller tank of fuel.

Friendly host and fellow campers. Almost all camping is large and mid size RV. There are also small trailers and small units you can rent. Camp is $35 a night but gets you into the outdoor hot springs large and small pools and 4 private tubs which I really liked. I’m car camping and my immediate neighbors were truck camping. Heard coyotes at night and beautiful stars. It’s a funky spot and maybe a tad rough around the edges but everything was clean and folks were friendly. Cool desert trail in the sand where I walked the dog and nice bench to sit and mountain watch. All water here is mineral water so get your driving water elsewhere. Definitely was a good spot to stop for the night.

We have camped here twice because it is a convenient location on our way from California to other states. But it is also a pretty area. Even though it is first come, first serve, there were plenty of sites available both times we stayed.  There are relatively clean toilets with toilet paper,a waste basket, and hand sanitizer. We were OK in our trailer, but we had to pull down our awning because the wind was extremely strong overnight. We noticed a few of the tent campers left in the middle of the night. A warning to tent campers to check the weather before camping there.

We brought the rpod. Left it in the camp and explored lava tubes and sand dunes near by. NO more water! Used to have water but they broke and no plans to fix. Very windy. We went 10/18/19 Lots of hunters! Deer season

Loved it. Some big pull through sites and back in sites for 30+ ft trailers. Water stations spread out through the campground and a Dump station. Camp sites are spaced out with some good distance between. Awesome views of the local mountains and hiking trails are close.

This was a last minute decision while driving from CA to IN. It’s a 35 site campground, no reservations accepted. We had a back up plan in case it was full, but that wasn’t necessary, there was only one other person there. We chose a campsite on the opposite side from where he was. We stayed on the west side, which was beautiful, as we looked directly at the canyon walls. There are pit toilets and trash receptacles at frequent intervals. There is non drinkable water available. No firewood on site, and you can’t collect. You are roughing it here, but if you are okay with that, you can’t beat this experience! We paid $6 for the night with our ATB pass, it’s $12 normally. It was crazy windy through the night, I don’t know if that’s normal or not. So windy we left the pop up trailer hitched to our Jeep because the gusts were incredibly strong and we were worried about the trailer being tossed. All kinds of critters about, including in the restrooms, so be aware.

Pure Review:  

Stayed here on the 29th of May 2021. Was a little warm during the day but hella cool at night. The campground is kinda remote, way better than "Hole in The Wall." You can get there in a 2wd car during dry conditions. Nice sites with a table and fire pit. Room for trailer or tent camping. Might have to arrive early to get a good site.
