Prairie Dog RV and Camping

4 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Twentynine Palms, CA
Welcome to Prairie Dog RV And Camping! Kick back, detach, and savor your surroundings of pristine desert sunsets, moonlit sands and breathtaking mountainous views. And of course the stars being worth the price of admission! Conveniently located only 5-8 minutes driving from Twentynine Palms City Center, and just 10-12 minutes to the Joshua Tree National Park East Entrance. A more remote and private off-grid campground experience catering to all RV "Boondockers" and general camp goers alike. Neighborhood Description: Enjoy the peace and quiet of these surroundings. It's truly a relaxing experience to take in. Neighborhoods like ours allow you to really appreciate the openness and mountainous scenery of Joshua Park, the Marine Base sand dune mountains to the north and the eastern expanse into Wonder Valley. Homes are sparsely spread out in this area and there is a small privately owned Airport Strip a few blocks away. Getting Around: Enjoy the convenience of close access(5 mins) to everything Twentynine Palms City Center has to offer(restaurants, shops, cafes, etc) and the East Entrance to Joshua Tree National Park on Utah Trail Rd. WE STRONGLY advise NOT to do any kind of off-roading exploration in the neighborhood or else you do run a very good risk of getting stuck in the sand!! Please stay on all dirt road paths coming to and leaving the campground! Just a little heads up...there is one block of dirt road right before reaching the entrance to my property that is just a little bumpy, but totally fine for all vehicles to handle. Once on the property, feel free to use the circular driveway and Parking/RV Slip however way you wish-depending on how many vehicles are in your party. We are happy to Host all Class A RV vehicles and trailers up to 45' ft in length. Amenities: -Porta Potty Fully Equipped With: Water Pump Sink, Fire Extinguisher, First Aid Kit, Light Sensor, Baby Wipes, Hand Soap, Toilet Paper, paper Towel -Park Style Charcoal Grill -Propane Fire Pit and Lounging Furniture -Hammock -2 Propane Tanks -Trash Receptacle -Picnic Table -Free Parking On Premises NOTE: I am not using any physical structures for Short Term Renting on this premises.

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!
