I have a very private campsite that is off grid. There’s an outhouse with a camping toilet, 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 🌞🌵🏜️
I previously offered the cabin for guests to stay in but it is no longer available.

What an amazing site! I almost want to keep it to myself but I also want everyone to know what a great site it is. It should be the ideal for others making campsites. You can't beat the price for what you get. I'm grateful that the owners share this part of their home.
The property is very well maintained, they even raked the ground and put lighting to the bathroom where a step into a tree could be stumbled upon. But definitely bring lights. We drove up to the site at night and noticed the markers easily. We didn't realize until morning that their are several RV hook ups and gardens to enjoy. Even a labyrinth! I'm very impressed and I'm looking forward to staying again. The site was very private, but at the time we were alone and did car camping. We used one of the two tables provided. The sink was locked but we made use of the toilet and shower. I also used the small spray of water that was shooting out from the hose spigot next to the restroom. Big mirror in the restroom and it had electricity. I shut off the water at night, which I hope that was okay, but I saw no need for it to spray water the whole time.
Fire wood and electricity was provided for free! Cell service also was present. Markets, restaurants, road side businesses are a short drive away. So was the RV park we went to visit.
The pictures to this place did not do it justice. The landscaping was very entertaining and fun.
I'm hoping to make this campsite a mainstay and would go out of my way to camp here again.

We loved our stay at Cassie’s! The property is out just far enough that you feel off the grid but you’re still pretty close to town and everything you might want to see while in JT! The deck was nice to have and the A-frame was great to sleep in to keep out of the wind. Cassie was so nice and made everything super easy. Hope to get to stay there again!

Perfect off-grid place! Close enough to the town and moments from the park. The A-frame was perfect for the high winds in the evening. It was great to have the kitchen set up on the deck! The dogs loved it. Quiet, private and easy to access.

We enjoyed the property in spite of some very high winds. I sat in the A-frame and soaked up the sun on my face and bare feet. Perfect temp out of the wind with a fabulous view.
We hate being stacked up like cordwood next to other campers, so this secluded spot really spoke to us. Close enough to town to run in for supplies, but a world away from close neighbors.
The World-Famous Crochet Museum is a hoot and of course Joshua Tree National Park is not to be missed.

OMG! They really went all out with the winter Wonderland! There is coffee stations and tea stations, and candy stations and decorations everywhere! Of course, our favorite part was getting to meet the animals and learn about how to care for them. My children were entertained the whole time by the games and the scavenger hunt.

Great little spot only about 15 minutes from downtown JT. Close enough to food, cell service etc, but far out enough for some peaceful views and pretty stars. The space was fully fenced, and had fun desert vibes. Cassie was super quick and helpful with communications and everything went as expected. Would definitely recommend this place!
