Dayne and Kayla were extremely communicative. Immediately responding to each message and request. We loved that the kitchen and bathrooms felt more like a house and we only needed to go into our tent to sleep. It really makes it easier for people who generally don't like to camp. Really felt like glamping! We had a small lighting issue in the dining room and someone showed up immediately to have it fixed! The ax throwing was such a pleasant surprise and the kids loved running around the site. They also love running after the desert iguanas! Another plus is that it's so close to the heart rock in Joshua tree which is the portion in the park that is perfect for the kids. Will definitely be returning!

My family and I had such a great glamping experience at Mojave Country Club. Our family of 3 stayed at the Cactus Jack and had access to all the amenities one could ask for a memorable family road trip. We really appreciated the desert chic theme, it really elevated the space and overall experience. The open space, activities for all ages, proximity to Joshua Tree National Park and the best view of the night sky right from outside of our yurt. It was simply a magical a place to disconnect from rest of the world and enjoy with my favorite people. Dayne and his daughter are also great hosts and super responsive. We’ll definitely have to plan for a return trip soon.

We had a wonderful time at River Sand’s! The 2 bedroom + loft was perfect for our family of 4. It felt like our cosy home was plopped down in the middle of a desert oasis! Surrounded by nature, RVs, campers, and sky! The clubhouse and pool were our favorite part, and make it feel like a resort hotel. We would definitely rent a cabin again, but plan to come back to camp as well. The laundry and shower facilities were a plus! The staff is so friendly and covered every detail! Highly recommended!

There are so many reasons why The Nest is a great place to stay!
The decor is awesome so it’s just a nice space to relax and enjoy.
The location is amazing - right next to the beach and The Institute (museum and events).
Because of the large egg on the roof (that is lighted at night) this place is always easy to find.
Tao is a great host and I would stay on any of his properties!

We really enjoyed our one night stay at Steve’s “resort”. The space was very comfortable and private. Unfortunately, we weren’t there long enough to take advantage of the pool, hot tub, or sauna, but we did get a beautiful night of stargazing on the upper deck! And we loved his recommendation to eat at The Palms. We highly recommend his place.

I highly recommend staying here! The host Dayne is very friendly, he provided some recommendations for us to do w/ our dogs. The whole campground was clean, from the bathrooms, kitchen, tent, and beds. We could charge our devices in the tent and there was a fan or heater if we needed it. It's a quiet & safe area. You're close to the park and good restaurants!

This place is pure magic! The lotus tent felt more like a boutique hotel than a campsite… cozy bed, incredible desert views, and nights under the stars with a telescope. Sunrise, sunset, and the endless sky were unforgettable.
The amenities were so thoughtful: outdoor shower, cowboy pool, hammocks, pizza oven (my pizza wasn’t pretty but it was delicious!). Every detail felt intentional and added to the experience.
The property backs onto open BLM land, so you can wander endlessly through the desert, discovering little art installations along the way. It felt limitless, wild, and beautiful.
Days were the perfect mix of exploring Joshua Tree and lounging at the property. Evenings by the fire pit under the desert sky were the highlight.
You can tell the hosts poured love into this place…. it’s private, peaceful, well-kept, and welcoming. Truly the best desert retreat if you’re looking for something bougie yet soul-soothing. I can’t wait to come back!

This spot is EXACTLY as pictured. We loved how bright, welcoming and comfortable it is. The proximity to the east entrance of Joshua Tree State Park can’t be beat! And there’s art all around if you keep your eyes peeked (“Springs”, I’m ‘looking at you! And the end of the world …) Had trouble with the door lock but Jonathan was very responsive and fixed it immediately. For those needing to work, the wifi held up to my Zoom meetings. And anyone worried about the heat (it hit 114 during our stay) should know that the air conditioners and ceiling fans kick butt. Thank you!

The Lotus Tent was such an amazing experience! The host really thought of every little detail. We got there late at night after a long drive and were welcomed by a well lit path to the tent. The bed was super comfy and the fridge was packed with cold waters, drinks, coffee creamers, and all kinds of other thoughtful little amenities. I absolutely loved the little fire pit and outdoor couch set up. My boyfriend and I loved hanging out by the fire and stargazing at night. My boyfriend is a wildlife biologist and was in love with the kangaroo rats that we saw around the site. It’s really close to Joshua tree national park! We went to the farmers market in Joshua tree and spent the day hiking at the park. It was such a fun and memorable experience. I highly recommend this glamping site!!
