Olancha RV Park and Motel
Olancha Hotel

Desert skies, wide horizons, and a stop that feels halfway between nowhere and everywhere.

Olancha RV Park and Motel sits along Highway 395, the desert road that threads through the Owens Valley toward Lone Pine and the eastern Sierra. The property is not a polished resort but something more elemental—rooms, cabins, and tipis scattered against the desert backdrop, with the Inyo Mountains looming in the distance.

Guests find themselves in a place designed for travelers on the move: a seasonal pool to cool off after a long stretch of asphalt, an on-site café serving Mexican and American plates, and outdoor firepits that invite late-night conversations under star-filled skies. Rooms range from basic motel setups with cable TV and air conditioning to rustic cabins with kitchenettes. RV hookups and camping areas expand the options for those who prefer to bring their own setup.

Wi-Fi reaches across much of the property, and free parking makes the stopover practical. This is the kind of place where travelers swap stories with strangers, kids chase lizards across the gravel, and the silence of the desert is broken only by a passing freight train or the wind moving through the valley.
