Lovely, quiet spot up in a canyon. Christine was very accommodating and directions to the site were clear. Wifi was strong, and bonus points for the 2 sweet, friendly kitties that frequented the site! They plan to separate the composting toilets, which I think will improve privacy. Site 1 is a little flatter and prettier, Site 2 is bigger with more morning shade. Both offer enough room to spread out, but not a lot of privacy between. A lot of animals frequent the wash behind the site, particularly at night. Saw coyotes and deer, the coyotes kept their distance. Sprinkler noise at night and nearby roosters at dawn took some getting used to, but were fine after the first night. Bring ear plugs if you are sensitive.

Beautiful house and property surrounded by trees and greenery located at the base of a huge mountain. My 7yr old was absolutely stoked hanging out with their two super friendly kitty cats. There’s all kinds of cute little apple/berry picking places/pie shops etc just down the street. Going to big bear Coming from SD, this is a good resting spot if you want to break up the drive and check out something different, 1hr to big bear.

Weekend Trip to Oak Glen Glamping on Apple Orchard
Very cute place, exactly as pictured. Great communication and Gary was very kind show us around the property. The gypsy wagon was perfect for my boyfriend and I with a functional outhouse. Very beautiful at night with the string lights and we got to explore Oak Glen during the day. Would come back again during apple season!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Hideaway | WOW view✨
An incredible stay from start to finish. Serina is an amazing host and the cabin was exceptional. We spent hours in the hot tub each night, enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the firepit, made good use of the outdoor shower with its incredible view, grilled out one evening, and hiked from the cabin in addition to our full days at Joshua Tree. Some terrific local restaurants and coffee spots are a short drive away, but after a long day of hiking in the park, winding down in such a serene location with immense privacy and a million stars in the sky was totally perfect.

This place is so great if you want some amenities but yet feel off grid! I love camping but my girlfriend doesn't and this was the perfect mix! Not to far from town but you definitely feel secluded 10 out of 10 we had a perfect relaxing weekend together

Love this place. Will be my new “go to” campground. Serene and beautiful and everything an outdoor enthusiast could need… including a fire pit! Pippen and Merry the two cats that patrol the property made the trip. Spent lots of time at my camp. Christine was a great host and made sure I had everything I needed. So relaxing and enjoyable.

Words can’t begin to describe how amazing this HipCamp experience was for me and my girlfriend. Such a beautiful location with complete privacy and breathtaking views. The cabin was so cool and unique yet provided everything we needed for a comfy stay (and much more!) The property is set up very thoughtfully and the wide open views of the desert were amazing. The deck area with the hot-tub and patio was perfect for relaxing after our desert adventures during our J-Tree vacation. The stargazing was just incredible. This is the perfect place to relax and disconnect from the everyday life stuff while enjoying the amazing desert magic of J-tree. The super quiet surroundings made for such a relaxing and zen vibe. I could go on-and-on but you should just get out there and experience this magical spot for yourself! So grateful to our amazing host for making sure we were comfortable during our stay. Can’t wait till our next visit to the desert and won’t think twice about where to stay 🌵 ✨ 🪐 🙌 ☺️

5 nights at Coyote Hideaway | WOW view✨
We spent five nights at Serena‘s beautiful cabin paradise. If you’re looking for an immersive desert experience, with comfortable beds, lots of privacy, a hot tub, and easy access to Joshua tree National Park, this is your place. We enjoyed the seclusion, the sunrises, and all the thoughtful touches that Serena provided.

The little caravan glamping was such a nice escape from the city! Gary was very helpful from the start, and our puppy Rudy absolutely adored playing with their dog, Freddie. The apple trees were beginning to bloom but no fruits yet— it’ll be worth coming back during peak season! Even though the road was nearby, this spot was extremely peaceful and was also secluded enough from Gary and Susan’s residence. Highly recommend a weekend getaway here~

This campsite was fantastic. I was looking for an escape from town and a busy life. I found it! Eric was very friendly and offered to show me around, but I declined because I was wanted quiet, and he understand and gave me some privacy. What a great host and what a lovely campsite, perfect view, and friendly host.

I loved Serina’s cabins they were located in a spot that felt like you were alone in the desert with amazing views and the quiet. However it is under 30 minutes to get to 29 Palms and 12 minutes to Joshua Tree town. We loved staying here.
