Overview
Overview
Travelers rolling into Shady Oasis Campground in Victorville, California find a desert staging ground located along the historic Interstate 15 and Route 66 corridor. This high desert destination provides a convenient stopping point for transcontinental road-trippers and Mojave Desert explorers navigating the challenging terrain between the Los Angeles basin and the Nevada state line.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned in the western Mojave Desert at an elevation of nearly three thousand feet, this property experiences classic high desert conditions featuring hot, dry summers and chilly winter nights. The surrounding landscape is defined by Joshua trees, creosote bushes, and sweeping views of the San Bernardino Mountains to the south. Visitors arriving from Cajon Pass on Interstate 15 experience a distinct shift in climate and topography as they drop down into the Victor Valley.

Asking ahead ensures your rig matches the available pad layouts and power pedestals.

This place will jack you so fast it will make your head spin. They will take your deposit and say they never received it. They will charge you electric when it is already included in your rent. Manager will pocket all cash purchases. The owner never sees any of it.

The place is next to the riverbed homeless encampment. The tweekers live in the park. The place has not had any cleaning or maintenance in years. The flies took over my RV. Not one bit of safety at all. And now they will not return my deposit or rent after spending only three nights there. The final straw was the resident tweeker fighting his own shadow with a long metal object.

I dont know what was worse...the flies, the dog poo, the tweekers fighting their own shadows with metal objects, the lack of any maintenance in apparently years, the lack of advertised services, the homeless encampment in the riverbed next door. No concern for safety. And now they wont return my deposit or any of my months rent for three days stay.

My dad has been living here for 11 years now. What used to be a very nice, very welcoming place, almost feels like a ghost town with 5th wheels. Sadly the owner doesn't want to put much money into fixing the place up. Daily and weekly campsites are no longer offered. Only monthly. The office is only open until noon each day (not including Sunday and Wednesday when they're closed all day). 2 stars cause it's still drama free (thankfully).
