About Desert Glamping
Meadview Arizona was founded in 1826 by Jedediah Smith on his Southwest Expedition in search for Beaver! Staying a small remote and quiet town it can feel like it would have in the Wild West. We obtained our campground from a couple that owned it for 20 years but just weren't able to do to it what they had originally planned.. So it was essentially a blank canvas for us to create!! We are the closest town to the Grand Canyon SKYWALK, which is just 40 minutes from us. Meadview, the town we are located, is the only place to obtain Free Entree to the Lake Mead Recreational Center. Our Campground just 10 miles from Lake Mead and 17 Miles from the Colorado River. We have outstanding Lookouts, Top notch Stargazing, Gold Prospecting, Bird Watching, Fishing, Off Roading etc. Some of the Best Desert Off-Roading through trails within the Joshua Tree National Forest, Please note you must bring your own OHV, horse, etc, there is currently no rentals available. We do have Kayaks to rent upon arrival. There is a hidden water fall in the Grapevine Wash that you can get to with a 4 wheel vehicle and you hike in about 15 minutes in. Stunning views and gorgeous natural spring and waterfall. We are 45 minutes off the 93 Freeway Free WIFI provided at the office!.. The town doesn't always have a powerful signal, please keep that in mind in your travels. However, if you have Verizon, it gets GREAT service! There are three restaurants in town, all just one mile from site... The Boathouse, Anchor Smokehouse and Fishermans Landing Bar. We have a Bakery called Rosemary and Thyme that serves Delicious foods & Pastries and makes great coffees. There is also a Gas n Grub that has ice, propane etc... 5 miles away is a Family Dollar store which we lovingly call the "Mall of Meadview"

[hipcamp aggregate summary]
We really enjoyed our stay at Happy Trails and plan on returning. It’s super close to Grand Canyon, host was flexible and understanding to our needs. There’s picnic benches and firepits at each site. Woke up to bunnies hopping around and the camp manager has a friendly dog (Willow) that greeted us. There’s shade, real bathrooms, the cutest little office with books.
This spot is a little run down and could maybe use a little update. I stayed in #4 and the bed was so loud every time I moved, it actually kept me up all night. The door didn't lock, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable and the road I took to get there was pretty rough terrain for a motorcycle (but doable). Everything else was alright though and there's a really good restaurant in town with excellent food, which the hotel recommended with a menu in the room. The camp manager was super nice and had coffee going in the morning. All in all, I would probably stay here again. It's a great locatio…
Wonderful place, calm and great view and so close to the Grand Canyon
We had a great time in this awesome campground. The perfect glamping experience! Would definitely recommend.
What a hidden gem of a spot to camp with family! If you’re looking for a place to set up camp near the Skywalk at Grand Canyon definitely check out Happy Trails. Keep an eye on the weather, the roads can get a bit mushy on your way in and out. I would definitely stay here again :)
