Learn more about this land:
Welcome to Bee Land! 5 acres of off-the-grid earth: desolate, empty and stunning! This is a property for those who really want to experience the desert at night. Camp under the stars, near the Salton Sea. You will be surrounded by the mountains and endless sky. There is nothing else except the stark beauty of this completely undeveloped landscape. However, you are 5 miles from Bombay Beach, 8 miles from Niland and Slab City. Take a day trip to Palm Springs , Joshua Tree, or the other side of the Salton Sea. Go off roading! Hike the Chocolate Mountains! Lay on one of the beaches along the Salton Sea. There’s so much do if you are open to the total experience of what desert life can provide. You never know who you will meet! Perfect alternative to the over-priced airbnbs for the Bombay Beach Biennale.
Update: There is now a clearcut, straight path leading out to the property directly from the main road. There is also an entrance and property markers. All details and directions will be provided after booking is formalized.

Nice place. Very laid back. Easy access to riding areas and such. Our space #92 did not have a grill. It looks like most spaces have a nice aluminum firepit w holes and a bbq grill. And our unfortunately only had a rock made firepit. Otherwise. It was a great place and we will be back.

Was an easy access spot with clean bathrooms and laundry facilities, not to mention a pool and a hot tub. We got in late and didn’t use much of the amenities but I’d stay there again if I’m passing through.

Great place to car camp, definitely needed a rugged vehicle to get us there. Level ground with a great view, perfect for a rooftop tent or ground tent. Easy access to the state park for day hikes.

Wow if you love the desert and complete privacy this is the quintessential Hipcamp. We had a sweet little campfire under a 96% full moon. We put our Sportsmobile into 4 wheel action and Ben provided excellent guidance into his site. Mountains all around and the site is surrounded by trails in every direction.

We had a great stay! It was wide open, dark skies and impossibly quiet. Andy was SO kind and very helpful. He even met us out at the spot and helped us arrange our tiny camper perfectly with his 4x4 ranger. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves desert camping 🩵

We really enjoyed the solitude and beauty of this camp.
It was a fun drive (in the 4W).
We were there in Oct and at dusk a lot of flies appeared, but after 40 min they kind of all died of somehow.

I’ve been hipcamping on primitive spots for many years, but this place nestled amongst the pepper trees at the top of the ridge was one of the most exceptional! The host, Jason, is one of the coolest folks you can meet; he has made an oasis that highlights the natural ruggedness and roughness of the high desert, along with everything you could possibly need. The spot really is a treasure- it’s completely quiet, undisturbed, serene, not too far from Anza (20ish minutes) but feels worlds away. Right off the PCT, you have all basic needs at Jason’s place- filtered water, shade, VIEWS, but also anything else needed if you want to take advantage of all Jason has set up- a full working bathroom which was unexpected but super nice! Jason is welcoming and open with his property and time, and if you want to relax with no judgement, or get weird in the wild, or simply do nothing, this is the place to stretch out and settle away from others and the business of life. There’s plenty to walk around, see and experience the local fauna and animals (Jason knows them all and will gladly give a tour and name all the plants and critters). The views are incredible, with the sun setting over Table Top Mtn every night. The drive there was do-able in my Prius, rough but doable, and will use a different vehicle next time. The directions were super easy. Jason’s communication was superb, his pup Roo was the best greeter and most mellow dog you could ask for. Will def be back and 10/10 recommend

The location is beautiful! Jason was there to meet me with a big smile and pointed out my spot! He has lighting around the property so in the evening the view and ambiance is perfect! The breeze feels amazing too! You can hike or drop your rig into drive and enjoy some washed out fire roads or watch the hummingbirds! My entire experience was relaxing and enjoyable! I will definitely be going back and I will recommending him for sure!

Beautiful site, very private. There are two camp sites side by side but the area is wide enough to not be crowded. Camp site was nicely shaded and flat so it was easy to set up our tent. There were areas we could drive up and unpack the cars directly in to camp. The ad says no potable water but there is a hose with water which was convenient for other uses. Tubing was fun but we did find used fishing line wrapped around a branch near the bank. That was a little gross and dangerous. Definitely recommend river shoes. Our pups were happy running around and also enjoyed the water but there is a resident peacock that although gorgeous, does make a lot of noise. Our pups were curious so we had to keep an eye on them and make sure they stayed close to camp. At night, Mr. Peacock likes to perch on a tree near the restrooms so be prepared for the giant bird silhouette looming over you! It's beautiful! There were a lot of sounds at night, machines, vehicles, and wildlife. If you're a light sleeper, may not be easy to ignore but otherwise it was very relaxing. Julian was quick to respond to any questions. This is definitely our new favorite camp spot.

A perfect desert escape under the stars
We had an incredible stay at this private campsite just outside Joshua Tree. The location was exactly what we were looking for—quiet, secluded, and surrounded by stunning desert scenery. At night, the starry sky was absolutely breathtaking—some of the best stargazing we’ve experienced in a long time.
The site felt very safe and private, giving us a true sense of peace and solitude. Benjamin was a fantastic host and provided clear, detailed directions that made finding the site easy. We appreciated the care and thoughtfulness that went into the experience from start to finish.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy the beauty of the desert.

Good way to get out in the desert brush and see big sky, mountains, and stars! It's fairly rugged low-desert terrain. Exactly what I needed.

The site's description is precisely what it is! It is peaceful and isolated. Plus, there were trees that provided shade for us. The weather was perfect when we went. Please check the weather and prepare for a windy stay. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

It was an excellent place for group camping! The camp had great amenities such as a portal toilet (spotless!), tables and stools, water (not for drinking), and trash bins. Since the weather was projected to be very windy, it wasn’t! Which I was very grateful for! I would say the two campsites are not far apart. For reference, the space between the two campsites is four trucks parked next to each other. Since I came with a big group, I got both campsites for more privacy. It was only 35-40 minutes from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Overall, the campsite was perfect!
