Twenty miles east of Barstow along Highway 58, Roadhouse Restaurant operates an overnight parking area that functions as a practical desert staging point rather than a traditional campground. The facility lacks typical camping amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups, but provides ample space for RVs and vehicles on level ground with cell service available.
Train traffic on nearby tracks creates daytime noise, though one reviewer notes the trains quiet down after dark. The expansive lot accommodates truckers and commercial vehicles alongside campers, with enough room that engine noise and generators rarely become issues. Campers often use this spot as a launching point for Mojave Desert exploration, taking advantage of the on-site restaurant for meals and the convenient highway access for early morning departures into the surrounding desert regions.
