Rancho de la Libertad
3 sites · Tents6 acres · Twentynine Palms, CA
Come pitch your tent under the stars at Rancho de la Libertad! Located in the spectacular panoramic landscape of Wonder Valley, California, we're 15 miles from the East entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and all of the shopping and amenities of Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree, California.
Enjoy hiking, stargazing, birdwatching, mountain biking, or just relax on the property: a regenerative agricultural project in its infant stages that attracts songbirds and other fun wildlife rare in the surrounding desert. This is a functioning albeit young ranch, home currently to 21 chickens (and a rogue pigeon), with plans to include goats and sheep in the next year. Our ultimate goal is desert restoration, so please come with the intention of respecting and enjoying this beautiful land!
In the morning and evening, you'll be met with stunning 360 degree sunrises like nowhere else.
We're just North of the Old Dale mines, and set between incredible ancient volcanic mountains.
Wonder Valley is an International Dark Sky Community. Book your trip during the new moon to see the Milky Way like you've never seen it before!
This site is best enjoyed as a relaxing, rejuvenating getaway. Fully immerse yourself in the sanctuary that is Rancho de la Libertad and find yourselves among artists, writers, and seekers of all kinds.
*Rancho de la Libertad has a resident dog, Diego, who works hard keeping us safe from coyotes and who absolutely loves to play and be loved. If you love animals, this is a great site for you! If you are fearful of or dislike dogs, it may not be a perfect fit. We'll manage him, but he will undoubtedly come say hi at some point during your stay. Please treat him with respect and reach out to us if you have any questions!
