Tarantula Ranch

Glamping in the desert, rather remote, but on one of the access roads to Death Valley. 1-1/2 hours north of Vegas. Everything thoughtfully put together, better than many Airbnb's we have been to. Future winery.

Great location if visiting the area, we explored death valley and the surrounding areas, borders BLM land so you can go out and enjoy the massive desert region out there. Great and easily accessible with a camper. The non-paved roads were fine to drive on even during and after some pretty heavy raining, and we were in a 2wd vehicle with low clearance.

We stayed here for two nights in October. It was a long drive for us (CA, AZ and then NV), so we did arrive late. We were upgraded into another RV. Thank you Brandon. We loved our time here and picked it so we can look up at the stars.

We had such an amazing stay at the ranch and a nice warm welcome from the Host. Super helpful with any questions about the park, the weather and they supplied us some fizzy waters to keep up the hydration. The caravans aircon was so good i woke up freezing, a nice change from the outside weather. Everything was super clean, having a fridge for our food was a massive plus as we are living in our van and our fridge couldn't keep up in the heat. The camp kitchen was super nice, has everything you need. Having 3 cats on the property was a plus for us as they're super friendly and cuddly, perfect for the down time. It's located pretty close to Death Valley National Park, so it's the perfect place to stay for Sunrise and sunset drives. If we're ever over is the US again from Australia, we'll definitely stay here.

Tarantula Ranch Camping & Glamping is a hidden desert gem not far from Death Valley. The location is super convenient if you’re planning to explore the national park but want a quieter, more private place to stay. The glamping setup was adorable—comfortable bed, thoughtful details, and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by desert views.

But heads-up: it gets extremely hot in the summer. We visited in June and wow—it was intense during the day. Definitely plan to do your activities early in the morning or late in the evening, and bring lots of water. The nights cooled off enough to sleep comfortably, and the stars were absolutely incredible.

If you’re heat-tolerant or coming in a cooler season, you’ll love this place. Great for unwinding, stargazing, and getting that wild desert experience without the crowds of Death Valley.
