Rumor has it our house was built by the famed western actor Alan Ladd as a secret getaway back in the 50s. There’s 5 acres, partly shaded by old mesquite trees and native Washingtonia palms that tower over rock lined paths. I recently fixed up our old 1949 tear drop camper for staying in after it had been abandoned for 30 years. It’s equipped with solar power, a gas burner, a pump sink, and a cooler.
This is a place for people that love old stuff! No marble countertops and stainless steel will be found. For lovers of the funky. There’s an outhouse, an outdoor shower, and a 9 foot deep swimming pool too. We’re situated between the San Andreas fault and the the Little San Bernardino Mountains, so spectacular hikes are a short walk away. After every golden sunset, the stars do not disappoint.

After a full day traveling and sight seeing this was a good location and excellent retreat for Joshua Tree National Park. We were delighted to have beds for all in our party and enjoyed a star gazing session before a restful sleep. Love the home style comfort!

This Airstream was beautiful, very clean, with all the amenities you may need and even a few extras like local coffee, cold drinks and protein bars for our arrival, and even sweet "Camp Squish" patches as gifts. Cas and Brielle were friendly, easy to communicate with and responded quickly when we needed assistance. Lots of thought detail and care put into this property.
It was very windy while we were there (April) so we couldn't enjoy a fire but the deck, firepit and picnic table areas were perfect for enjoying meals when it was less windy. We had 4 people in our party so needed to use all beds in the camper. The bedroom (2 twin beds) was extremely cozy and comfortable. The fold out Airstream beds in the main cabin were a little stiff but we made due. All in all a really great spot.

1 night at Camp Squish Airstream - Joshua Tree
Was just the reset i needed in the midst of a two week road trip/festival hopping adventure i was on, close to town if needed but far away enough that you could see the stars clearly, as it was a moonless night i definitely got spoiled with how clear the constellations were to the naked eye. sunset and sunrise didn't disappoint either.
ill for sure be back and plan to stay longer to explore more of what the area has to offer.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The trailer was clean, quiet, and in a good location not far from Joshua Tree National Park. The hosts were very attentive and thoughtful. They provided some water, paper towels, and logs for the fire pit. For us, staying in a trailer felt much more comfortable than camping in a tent. We would definitely recommend this place.

Our family of four (two adults, one young child and one dog) had a great weekend trip. We camped during unexpected warm weather (85 degrees) and were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the campsite was from the shade from trees, the breeze, and the provided small fan. We brought our own box fan as well which was helpful to keep mosquitos away too. In the evenings, the trailer was cozy with the provided space heater. Adequate hot water for us all for showers. We loved Laurie’s recommendation for making pizza on the grill and had a lot of fun doing so. We enjoyed the beautiful trails all around the campsite - the property is large and well-maintained. We didn’t utilize the yoga yurt, but it appeared well-equipped, clean and comfortable. The campsite host, Jackie, was incredibly hospitable and helpful. We hope to stay again!
