The Barking Owl was abandoned fr 30 years. I found it in disrepair with no water or power or anything really. I am currently rebuilding the home to make a place for all to connect!

Desert Camp
Eco friendly desert camping. Richard is a friendly host as well as a thoughtful steward of the land. He’d probably double as your climbing guide. Fairly close to town and to the park. Showers and water on site.

Marvelous spot!
We had a fabulous holiday weekend camping in our vans at the Barking Owl. Richard is a gracious, welcoming host, with a clear vision of the community he would like to build at his place. It is clear that he really cares about people. The site itself is quite comfortable, with beautiful views of the surrounding desert and some fine Joshua trees. Amenities included an excellent heated outdoor shower and friendly dogs, which my kid especially appreciated :) We also were thankful that Richard let us move his grill over to a sheltered area near the house when it was a bit too windy to cook over near our site, and then later in the weekend we quite enjoyed meeting some of his friends who were also there for the holiday. This is one of those camping spots that is already awesome, and will only get better with time! Definitely a place that merits repeat visits when in the area.
