Our desert retreat is just that-desert. If you like to off-road, BLM land is close.
But really we just enjoy the landscape and stars and the sunsets. Plenty of space between sites. We have a nice 29ft trailer for those who need lodging.
There are two full hook-up RV sites and if you want to dry camp in your van or RV, water and a dump station are available on the property.

If I could give Abi a million stars for hosting an amazing property, I would! Very well kept, amazing views (desert land/plants, sunset, night sky, sunrise, all of it!), beautiful artwork and mini trails, basically more than anyone can ask for at a campsite. My husband, dogs and I enjoyed camping here so much we plan to visit again. It was nice that the whole area was to ourselves, it felt very private and safe. Would definitely recommend!

Such a special spot. I slept out under the desert stars in complete solitude (except for the company of jackrabbits and Joshua Trees). Place has vibey but not excessive artistic touches—perfectly representative of the environment. Good spot to camp and have a small fire. I really enjoyed my stay!

Oh my goodness this place! It was heaven! You need to be comfortable being remote because it really is just you. But the stars are so beautiful, the sunset was stunning and there is something so special about the peace it brings being so secluded. Roads are pretty rough getting to the camp but worth every bump aha.

Making the trip along Route 66 and wanted a camp ground and found this super private property with picnic table, fire pit and fun art sculptures! My wife and the dogs loved roaming the property and exploring around! The time we went provided a beautiful purple sunset, did have alittle bit of rain but that didn’t stop us! Very much recommend this inexpensive, get away camp site! Thank you!

1 night at Magic in the Mojave
This is the most cared for hipcamp I've ever stayed at. The attention to detail was amazing, the decorations are beautiful and unique. Abi is so friendly as well, very communicative and willing to help with any issues. This is my favorite hipcamp and I definitely plan on returning to soak up some more of that Mojave Magic ✌️❤️🦊

Pulled up to the mound in the middle of the property for views of the surroundings. Had the whole place to myself. Super quiet.

We tent camped for 3 nights and it was absolutely beautiful! It was pretty hot during the days so definitely recommend bringing extra sun shades / canopy’s. Very quiet and secluded which we loved. The sunsets and stars were amazing. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful, charming campgrounds. Albeit feeling like “the middle of nowhere” once you brave the rumble of the dirt road you’re greeted by lit Joshua trees and a lovely common area. It was so quiet! Toilet is clean, with a lovely view. Will certainly book again if I’m ever needing a place while cruising the 40.

This was our second stay on Steve’s land, and it was just as great as before. The property is peaceful, quiet, and feels safe and secure. Having a dump site and potable water on-site is a huge plus. Highly recommend!

There is camping and there is the elevated experience that Abi offers. The site is more than we hoped for:
- The small kitchen and shade area was whimsical and practical. It felt like we were having dinner on a friend's patio.
- The outhouse was cleaner than any trail or state park bathroom I've ever used.
- The raised campsite area creates an ideallic view of sunsets and purple mountains and a platform for stargazing by the fire pit.
- We loved the nature trails that looped around the property. They enhance the desert experience. Our dogs loved all of the new smells and the freedom that most campsites do not afford them.
- There was so much creativity on this property: hidden curiosities everywhere you looked, warm desert colored designs.
- The campsite was very easy to get to, we live a few hours away and just wanted some unwind time. We had full phone service the whole time.
Abi's property sings while other campsites are unremarkable. She has found a way to convey everything there is to love about the desert - it's life, it's colors, it's creativity, it's freedom.
Truly, my husband and I will be talking about this two night experience for the rest of our lives.

Steve greeted us when we got there and the camp spot is clean and quiet. We had a great night's rest since its away from the freeway and there are not a lot of people or vehicles around. We ended up coming back for a second visit 2 weeks later.

We really enjoyed camping on Abi's land! There were lots of flat spots for our two tents, plenty of room to park our car, and lots of fun areas to explore. We enjoyed the table with fairy lights for dinner and explored some of the trails in the daylight. The outhouse was super convenient. Abi gave us excellent directions so finding the property was easy. Our Corolla did fine on all of the roads, we just took it slow on some very sandy sections. We would definitely stay here again! :)
