Tarantula Ranch Campground & Vineyard near Death Valley National Park

Our family moved to the Mojave Desert during the pandemic and fell in love with the climate and our rural location. We had no idea how to care for a vineyard or make wine but we have had so much fun experimenting and sharing our adventure with guests. We love Death Valley National Park and are so happy to share our insights with guests. Message before your stay and we will send over some of our favorite spots and possible itineraries for you.
