Experience peaceful desert camping with wide-open views, stunning sunrises and sunsets, and incredible star-filled skies in the Southern California high desert. The Desert Ambassador Camp is located just minutes from the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park on 2.5 acres of natural, undeveloped land. We fell in love with this area for its quiet beauty, open space, and easy access to the park, and created a simple, off-grid retreat that allows guests to fully experience the desert. We offer two campsites, Upper and Lower, situated on opposite sides of the property for added privacy. Each site provides its own space to relax, unwind, and enjoy the surrounding landscape. Spend your days resting beneath Joshua trees, hiking nearby trails, or exploring the gently rolling desert terrain. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit and enjoy clear skies filled with stars. The camp is less than two hours from Los Angeles and Orange County and only 2.5 miles from the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, as well as Covington Flats and Black Rock hiking and day-use areas. It is also conveniently located between the towns of Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley, with access to off-road recreation areas such as Johnson Valley OHV. The land is home to native Joshua trees, cactus, and seasonal wildflowers, with views of rocky foothills to the south and open desert valleys to the north and east. Wildlife sightings may include jackrabbits, quail, hawks, kangaroo rats, snakes, and coyotes. This is primitive, dry camping with no water, power, or hookups. Guests should bring their own tent and or RV, camping supplies, plenty of water, and a sense of adventure.

I have a very private campsite that is off grid. No power. No water. Bare bones minimal just a spot to pop a tent with wind and sun protection and a view. There’s an outhouse but the camping toilet that is provided is NOT maintained. Bring your own TP, camping bags and please leave clean for the next person. There’s a large deck to lounge and watch the sun rise or set. You can pitch a tent on the deck or on several cleared spots on the ground. JT national park is a 15 minute drive and there’s a corner mart nearby. You can use the trampoline, there’s a fire pit (bring your own firewood), and please bring your own camping chairs, water, toilet paper/wipes and you must dispose of your waste. Refunds not given for any mess other campers have left behind. Your fee covers a place to pop a tent with a view. Any issues you encounter I encourage you to report. 🌞🌵🏜️ I previously offered the cabin for guests to stay in but it is no longer available.

Private 40-Acre Off-Grid Retreat

6mi from Joshua Tree · 1 site · Tent, RV
Important: This is a remote, unlit desert property. Arrival before dark is strongly recommended unless you are already familiar with the area. This is an intentionally off-grid, private desert retreat for guests who value space, silence, dark skies, and solitude. You are renting the entire 40-acre property — there is only one campsite, and it is exclusively yours. There are no toilets, no water, no electricity, and no artificial lighting. This is a self-contained desert experience, not a campground. What is here: A large handcrafted wooden deck A handmade stone fire ring A 12-foot solid wood picnic table Exceptional stargazing with minimal light pollution Forty acres of private desert bordered by empty parcels and public land This property is best suited for experienced campers, vanlifers, RVs, Airstreams, and tent campers who are comfortable navigating dirt roads and practicing Leave No Trace ethics. It is not suitable for first-time campers or guests seeking amenities or on-site assistance. Off-leash dogs are welcome. Please clean up after them so this policy can remain in place. Guests must bring their own water, use a self-contained toilet system (pack out all waste), and pack out all trash. Desert conditions change rapidly — wind, heat, and cold are all possible. Four-wheel drive is recommended, though many standard vehicles and RVs have accessed the property by driving slowly and carefully. If a vehicle becomes stuck, guests are responsible for arranging their own towing. This is unfenced private land bordering public Bureau of Land Management (BLM) areas. On rare occasions, someone may mistakenly pass through assuming the land is public. This has always been resolved easily by letting them know they are on private property. Located at the base of Copper Mountain, the property offers wildlife sightings, panoramic views, and generally good cell service despite the remote feel. Drive times: Hwy 62 (8 min), Downtown Joshua Tree & Farmers Market (11 min), Joshua Tree National Park entrance (19 min), Indian Cove (16 min), Pioneertown (29 min). If you are seeking a quiet, expansive, off-grid desert retreat, this land offers something increasingly rare. — Amanda & Mario

We do not provide bins to avoid attracting animals or scattering debris in the wind. Important: You must have a self-contained toilet system and pack out all waste.

If you looking for Serenity and Seclusion under the amazing Joshua Tree night sky, amazing sunsets/sunrises, surrounded by mountains in the distance, you’ve found it!! If you have yet to experience the healing, recharging that comes from unwinding in the desert, well you can find that and so much more on our land. You and your guests will have 2.3 acres all to yourself. Our land perimeter has been fenced, therefore you will not have to worry about knowing if you are in the right spot, or others invading your space. It may sound like I’m just being extra :), but once you spend a night or two here you will know exactly what I mean about the healing that can be found here. Come enjoy the peace that comes from being engulfed by God’s amazing creation.

Beautiful 5 acres of nothing but views. It's named "The Slab" simply because that's what my family has always called it. I am currently testing this as a place for campers, so please leave feedback so it can be improved. Eventually, there will be a picnic table setup for campers, and designated open spots for more vehicles to park/ flat spots for more tents. There is running water available on the slab but I am in the middle of figuring something out how campers can utilize it. Stay tuned! UFO Enthusiasts, Rock Climbers, Urban Explorers, Off-Roaders, Artists, Musicians, and all are welcomed! We are located 10 minutes from The Integratron, 25 minutes from Giant Rock, Joshua Tree National Park, and 40 minutes from Johnson Valley. Halliday's liquor store is 10 minutes, with $5 pizza place (delicious!) / gas station 15 minutes away. There is even a nearby Landers thrift store and La Copine restaurant. Shooting area about 15 minutes away. I can list SO much more, but I'll let you come explore the hidden gems Landers has to offer. There is a firepit set up onsite for your convenience. Feel free to reach out to me for any other questions or recommendations you may need to ensure you have a great stay. Come soak up the sunshine and enjoy the quiet beautiful starry nights at The Slab. Don't be afraid of getting a lil dusty on your journey!
