    The Schellraiser music festival offers a variety of seasonal glamping and camping options on our 80-acre private campground in the cool high desert of far Eastern Nevada's Steptoe Valley, near the small town of McGill.

    Our Lotus Belle-brand bell tents are solar powered and fully furnished, with king-, queen- and twin-size beds, Avocado-brand mattresses, rugs, loveseats, floor lamps, charging ports and wi-fi service.

    Our campground also features two solar-powered shipping container homes with bathrooms and rooftop decks; the larger of the two homes also has a small kitchen area.

    Car camping and pitch-your-own-tent sites without power are available, as well, as are furnished yurts without power.

    We have a heated six-unit restroom/shower trailer on site, and our clubhouse is now open to guests from Thursday through Sunday nights.

    Schellraiser is just minutes away from the High Schells and Bristlecone wilderness areas, and within an hour's drive of Nevada's wildest mountain and desert scenery.

    High peaks, rugged canyons, wild rock formations, natural hot springs and ghost towns are all around us, and the surrounding area is teeming with wildlife, including the state's largest elk herd.

    We're also the home base of the annual Schellraiser fest, which brings bands like Ladytron, Mercury Rev, The Raveonettes, Blonde Redhead, The Joy Formidable, Blitzen Trapper, Old 97's, Houndmouth, Nikki Lane, Shannon Shaw and BRONCHO to the nearby McGill Pool Park each spring.
