Olancha RV Park and Motel

The experience was good, but it was cold.

“Comfortable stay for remote work and hike in the Sierra”

I spent three nights here. It was easy to find even at night because they left an envelope with a self‑check‑in keypad and a map showing where room #22B was. The room was surprisingly spacious, with a kitchenette that had a microwave, mini‑fridge, and sink, though no utensils or stove like an Airbnb. The microwave saved me for reheating drinks, take‑out, and late‑night comfort food. Wi‑Fi was excellent, smooth enough for remote work—likely Starlink, since even 100+ meters from the office I streamed HBO on my phone and worked on my laptop without hiccups. They let me check out late, which was great because I wanted to finish one last hike and freshen up before heading home. The only issue was that the bathroom had just one roll of toilet paper, no hand soap, and no body wash. I asked for more the next day at the office; the staff said housekeeping would come that day, but nothing happened. The following day, when I paid for the room, the lady at the office was very helpful and gave me two rolls of toilet paper right away.

“This could be a really cool place if kept up.”

It was cool to sleep in a teepee, but nothing was maintained; the water pipes were broken and water just ran, and the heater didn’t work.

“Une déception totale : propreté insuffisante et prestations clairement pas à la hauteur du tarif très élevé.”

We were deeply disappointed by our arrival at the Oloncha Hotel. Just twenty minutes after checking in, we had to contact the booking site to file a complaint because the tent and its equipment were in terrible condition—dust everywhere, a dirty trash bin, a refrigerator and surfaces that looked unclean and poorly maintained. We had to use wipes to touch some of the gear. At 8 p.m., the bathroom was also in such a state that we couldn’t shower. For a tourist spot we expected basic cleanliness and proper hygiene, but none of those were present during our stay.

“The Perfect Campervan Stop Right Near Death Valley”

The spot is unbeatable—right outside Death Valley with incredible views! The place is super cute, van parking is a breeze, and the shower and toilet facilities are spotless. The restaurant staff were welcoming and served great dinner and breakfast. It’s excellent value for money—we’ll definitely return! The only downside was that the swimming pool was closed for the season, which was a shame because Olancha is very hot and it would have been nice to use.
