Prior to 2001, this home and land was known as The Gordon Ranch. Rock Climbers from around the world could flop here whenever and for however long they chose. The Gordon Ranch officially "closed" on August 11, 2001, when we married and subsequently started our family. Although the house is now our private residence, we have now opened a bit of the property for JTNP visitors in need of a place to sleep and enjoy the star-filled sky this beautiful desert has to offer.

Starry JT Nights Moonflower - Eleva
Nicely isolated, amazing views of the night sky, can get pretty windy (strong enough to unhinge your tent), so ensure to pitch your tent robustly but apart from that, it’s perfect for a low to zero network getaway to experience Joshua Tree like you’re supposed to.

Starry JT Nights The Cove
Amazing! (best w/ high clearance!)
This is a beautiful place to stay. I highly recommend staying here to anyone with a high clearance vehicle. We loved this place! Probs for the great big metal moveable fire pit and the firewood there. We slept in our sleeping bags on the pretty comfortable mattress. Word of warning though: totally our fault for not trusting his warning, but we did drive all the way to this place in our low clearance Honda Civic, and we would not do that again! We heard the road and the plastic protector panels under our car getting to know each other. Highly recommend with a high clearance vehicle, or hike out to here! I hope to stay out here again :-)

Todd was incredibly friendly and helpful when I brought a group of 15 campers here. The property is very clean and only 3 miles from the west entrance to Joshua Tree NP. I would definitely recommend staying here over one of the National park campgrounds.
