Desert terrain opens up at Vakinheim, a drive-in campground outside camping near Inyokern in the high desert of Kern County. The site has open terrain with room to set up a fire, and wood has been available on-site. Reservations are available, pets are allowed, and cell service is present. Access is rough, so a vehicle with some clearance is worth considering before the trip. Rates run $10 to $20 per night.
Description
Greetings Traveler,
My name is Joe and I own the property known as Vakinheim. It has served as a private Spiritual Retreat for many friends over the years. I've hosted and held various outdoor adventure recreation activities, and even used it as a training ground where I practiced primitive survival skills in preparation for a 21 day Naked and Afraid Survival Challenge, which I am proud to say I completed during season 12, episode 9 on the Discovery Channel.
Now, I am happy to share this very special place with you. Let me tell you a little about more about it.
Vakinheim is an Open Desert Primitive Camp Site located 2 miles south of Inyokern.
No amenities currently available. However the town of Inyokern is 2 short miles away, just close enough to be walking distance, yet still far enough away to feel alone in the desert.
Vakinheim does accommodate multiple vehicles, as well as RVs and Trailers, Fellow Boondockers are always welcome. But please watch out for glass.
The roundabout driveway allows for trailer pull throughs, and features a large communal fire pit in the center.
The light pollution is always low, so you can see more stars at Vakinheim than you would in Hollywood, and every new moon you can see the galaxy.
One of the best local Places to visit is Indian Wells Brewing Company, theirs beer are good, and they have an amazing restaurant too.
