We are co-founders of Ordinary Dharma and Five Changes, and stewards of this land at Manzanita Village Retreat.
Thirty years ago we were searching for a place where the land itself would be an active support in our of work facilitating workshops and retreats. We were looking for land that was within easy reach of San Diego and Los Angeles, while still being remote and far from the noise of highways. The land is infused with the presence of the thousands of people who have come here for transformation and renewal.
We are now open to visitors from HipCamp -- we look forward to your visit

We had such a great stay at Camp Chester with our three little ones! The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and there was plenty for us to do without ever feeling crowded. We loved exploring the hiking trail nearby. It was manageable with kids and made the whole trip feel like a little adventure! My kids literally played from sun up to sun down!
One of our favorite parts was the outdoor setup. Having access to coffee in the morning and a fun outdoor grill kitchen made everything so easy and enjoyable. It felt like camping but with the perfect thoughtful touches. Not to mention the beautiful outdoor bath house! The best!
It was the kind of place that made camping with young kids actually relaxing. We’d definitely come back! We are eager to explore their other sites!

Davida was a wonderful host. The campsite was quiet and cozy, perfect for stargazing. The trailer itself had everything we needed - just don't expect a full hotel room. The large outdoor area is covered in turf, which helps reduce dust. In addition to the toilet/shower in the trailer, the site has two bathrooms in an adjacent building, and I believe they are building an additional shower. One tip: use Google Maps to navigate to the property - Waze stops a few miles short.

3 nights at Cozy Retreat in Joshua Tree
Had such a great solo retreat here, I appreciated the well decorated interior that made it feel very homey. Perfect degree of isolation for me personally, very quiet with only occasional cars passing by and a short drive to the national park.
The wifi essentially didn’t work, t-mobile cell service had a better connection. I didn’t mind this as I came here to disconnect. Be mindful of intersections on the dirt roads where no one has a stop sign, a local I spoke with says there have plenty of accidents at these intersections as the area has gotten busier.
Overall loved my experience and will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to High Desert Protocol
This property is amazing! So much to explore and enjoy.
The Gallery experienced some weather damage from rainstorms prior to my visit, so the team at HDP upgraded me to the Robin's Egg, which was extremely generous. The accommodations were excellent, with so much cool art and media to explore. I enjoyed the clawfoot tub as well as the many patios to step outside onto.
I spent time during both evenings of my stay in the hot tub, under the stars. So nice to meet fellow travelers in there, as well as enjoy alone time.
Both mornings, I walked the trails behind the property, taking in the views (including many Joshua Trees!)
The road up to the property is unpaved but in good condition. My SUV handled it fine.
The communication from the team beforehand, during, and after was informative.

Weekend Trip to The Cabins at Joshua Tree Lake RV
This cabin was everything I needed and more for a quick weekend of hiking and exploring Joshua Tree. Coming from out of state, I was able to roll in with my carry on and still have the camping-esque weekend of campfires and picnic table lounging that I was looking for. The main host is so kind, helpful to work with, and was prompt to reply to questions I had.
The place looked just as it does in the photos here and I thought the blankets and bedding far exceeded my expectations for a “dorm” hostel in the desert. The only thing I might add would be hooks. I lucked out and had the place to myself, but had there been others sharing the space, places to hang things would be really helpful in keeping the space organized.
I’d definitely recommend this hostel and consider staying again when I’m in the area :)
