Delicious desert Twilight Zone
Landers Brewing Co is like a fabulous time warp. We had the best time there!
Absolutely fell in love with the place. The trip was worth it for the bar alone, seemingly risen up out of nowhere in the middle of the desert with the most amazing characters, like a very pleasant Twilight Zone.
Also nearby within 15-20 minutes drive are Giant Rock (research the history & Van Tassel/Nikola Tesla etc if you're into that awesomeness) , Integratron, Pioneertown, etc.
We had a freaking blast exploring the area.

Donât do it. Just some dirt outside of a bar. âPeople usually just crash here when they are too drunk to go home.â âWOW Iâve never seen this during the day, itâs pretty rough.â They just acquired 5 acres for some concert in the future but who knows. Oh and there is no way of communicating with the host, no phone, even though itâs a bar. GOOD LUCK
Feels like paying for something as a tourist then finding out itâs free. I miss my $25.

Great camp site! Beautiful view of the valley and awesome night sky. Phil is easy going. The camp site sits lower so it's safe from winds and has tables and chairs and fire pit makes it great experience for fun experience with family!

We arrived at the Landing Zone on a windy weekend and found Phil in Landers Brew, which is right by the spot we camped. He showed us the fire pit, which is down a little hill to protect it from the wind. It was too windy to have a fire, but it looked like a nice set-up. He showed us the toilet closet, which was in good shape, but did have trouble flushing multiple times because it is a gravity toilet. He was quick to fix it when we told him.
We camped in our car since it was very windy and felt that Phil and the bartenders looked out for us. The bar is open till at least 12a on the weekends, which we found nice since we could get a beer and not have to drive anywhere. The lights stay on and people drive out, which might not be ideal for everyone. What we, two women, appreciated most was the staff was discreet about the fact we were camping there. They checked in with us about the site, but made sure no one in the bar could hear that we were staying on the property. We liked it and would come back when it was a little warmer and less windy, but it's a beautiful spot to see the stars and hear the coyotes howl.

He did not give us a truthful description of the place. He advertised that the site had drinkable water and a toilet. There was no water and the toilet was broken. Those are two pretty significant things to consider when deciding on where to camp. He was also not available to show us where the actual camp site was. We had to figure it out on our own. I will never spend my money on this camp site again. However, the bar next door was cool.

No frills spot near Joshua Tree. Quiet, not a lot of people.
