Bonnie Clair Lakebed
Bonnie Clair Lakebed, near Death Valley, Nevada, is a unique spot for those seeking solitude and stunning night skies. This area is perfect for tent and RV camping, offering a peaceful retreat where you can truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle.
Visitors rave about the tranquility here, often finding themselves completely alone in this expansive lakebed. One camper described it as “really beautiful, peaceful, isolated,” making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to escape the crowds. The clear, dark skies provide an incredible view of the stars, especially on moonless nights, which is a highlight for many.
While there are no amenities like drinking water or toilets, campers appreciate the freedom to have fires and the ability to bring their pets along. Just remember to pack your own water and firewood, as these aren’t provided. As one reviewer noted, “Bring water, and wood if you want a fire and you should be good.”
For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, the area is remote enough to feel like a hidden gem, yet accessible for a quick getaway. Just be cautious of the weather, as the clay lakebed can get tricky if it rains. Whether you're stargazing or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, Bonnie Clair Lakebed offers a memorable camping experience in the heart of the desert.
