Best Campgrounds near Landers, CA

At the end of a mile-long dirt road we found camping spots that rivaled the Joshua Tree park…large rock backdrops, nearby potties, remoteness!

This location is a large dry lake bed. Broadway is a decent road to enter and exit. There are areas of ruts due to the fact that rain will make it muddy. There is plenty of space but lots of dirt bikes, side-by-sides, and other off-road vehicles that might drive by at full speed 5 feet from your camp.

Just a very clean parking/camping lot with 360 degree view. Amboy crater and the lava fields are beautiful hikes. Can be super hot and windy.

Very popular location with many sites to pick, some have parking pass and cabana but mostly primitive, no hookups

Perfect spot!! We stayed at #3 my favorite. Pack-in, pack-out. 14 day camping. There is more than one spot here

Way too windy. We had tents and trailers. None of us slept. The trailer rocked horribly and the tents were filled with dirts. The yurts walls were impacted by the wind and the maintenance people were out trying to fix them.

The good was the maintenance crew is attentive. The pools and hot tubs are great. The list of activities were such a nice touch. The staff are all so kind and accommodating. The sites are all very large, from tents to RV sites.

Stayed here for a few nights over New Years. It's free but you must stay in designated spots. Seems to be popular with climbers. 

I stopped in for a night and ended up staying 4. No cell reception, so had to use Starlink. Lots of trails and places to scramble up on rocks.

The road in is pretty washboard, but worth the shaking and rattling for this beautiful spot.

Had to drive in quite a way to get away from garbage. It's a weekend so lots of OHV noise and other noise. Moving on.

Ok. Now that's out of the way. It's a parking lot for The Amboy volcanic crater. There is plenty of room for camping overnight for any size rig. Clean pit toilets and paved parking area. Easy hike to the crater, but a hard pull to the top. No water. Excellent At&t 5g cell service. The nighttime sky viewing was great. Note: When leaving the monument onto 66, there's a no left turn sign. Ignore it. The road is open to Ludlow.

Great place to ride atvs and enjoy the beauty of the lake and surrounding areas. There are no designated spots or fire rings, but as long as you're careful and responsible, there are plenty of rocks to build your own.

I stayed here on two nights, one week apart. The electrical connection at my sites were old and almost unusable. The internet was non-existent. Finally, one of the men’s toilets was still broken after a week’s time. There was nasty water on the floor of the bathroom both times. The morning I woke up on the second stay, both commodes were out of order! Why pay $54/night for a poorly managed campground with no working toilets?

The KOA is reasonably priced for KOA and California. 3 hot spring tubs. Pool is warm and wall stops wind. Many activities for kids miniature golf, jump board, play ground. Many activities for adults as well the staff are very nice and helpful.

If you are looking for isolation this is the place. The directions take you deep into Park Drive which I’m sure has decent spots if you looked long enough. Ultimately this place has not been kept up by previous campers or people in pacing, which is unfortunate because it has the potential to be be a good spot for dispersed camping. Ended up going to another spot due to the surrounding trash everywhere.

Wide gravel sites, most with 50/30 amp service and water, many right on the small fishing lake. No trees or other screening between sites (the difference between four and five stars) although not packed in like a standard RV park. Lots of availability in February, mid-week. Quiet, with a small bath house with showers. Dark, beautiful skies at night. Good hiking trail into the mountains, with the trailhead near the entrance to the campground.

Lovely campground and quiet. This place is huge and so are the sites. 2 pools but of course as luck would have it one pool that’s about 20 steps from our campsite is closed! Office staff were friendly as were workers. Very clean and gated.

This is a wide open area. You can camp wherever you like. The best way to access is off hwy 62 to Sunfair. Turn right on Broadway and continue past the end of the pavement. If it has rained or snowed, stay off the actual dry lake bed. It can get deeply rutted, and if wet, you will sink several inches. The area had great views of the nearby mountains, terrific sunsets, and lots of space. There was campfire areas, but we didn't choose to camp by these due to broken glass. For the most part, the area was clean.

Stayed here for just one night. During winter you have to enter the dirt road off Polique Canyon RD (2N09) as the shorter route (the way gps will go) off Van Dusen Canyon (3N09) is closed during winter months. This is a nice camp area and easy to get to. Lots of area to hike through, I hiked up a hill not too far away to watch the sunset. Even during winter there was still 7 other groups there, but plenty of room for all of us. It was nice to have bathrooms there.
