We felt very welcome throughout the days we stayed with our rented campervan. The site is well situated and quiet and the hosts do really make you feel at home. A place to remember and hopefully to visit again. Thanks Fatima and Elden. Greetings from Spain, Nick and Anne

3 nights at Copper Moon Camp in Joshua Tree

We loved tent camping at Copper Moon! We have 3 dogs and they can be a bit anxious and barky at busy campgrounds so this quiet campsite was perfect for us. We appreciated the remote feel and the view of the nightsky was amazing. There were 3 or 4 different firepits you could chose from and plenty of areas to pitch your tent. We have already. booked a second trip! :)

2 nights at Coyote Hideaway | WOW view✨

Our family absolutely LOVED this private home-away-from-home! It was such a gift to go back to these cabins (we booked both), after our days of exploring Joshua Tree and Pioneer Town. Family favorite: Stargazing from the hot tub. My favorite: Quiet morning coffee on the deck with the sunrise. We love camping in JT, but now we are spoiled with this incredible privacy and sanctuary from the crowds. It's so quiet that you can hear every animal out there... coyotes, crows, and the early morning owls. We will definitely be going back!

Weekend Trip to Coyote Hideaway | WOW view✨

The location was perfect and had an attached path to explore the area below. Super quiet for my reactive pup where it’s just you at the site. The deck was fabulous and the included grill/cooking utensils was great. Serina was also super accommodating and responded quickly in the chat. If heading over when raining, the site is still accessible though I do recommend using a car with higher clearance as some of the unpaved roads in the surrounding neighborhood can get quite rough. No issue with my AWD and the road itself leading up to the cabin as it was well maintained.

Weekend Trip to Coyote Hideaway | WOW view✨

It’s very remote but still close to Joshua Tree maybe 10 minutes to the center of town. It’s a sand road to the place and the drive way up the hill to the cabin is a bit challenging. The view is amazing from the deck. A bit rustic and not anything fancy. The hot tub is nice.I think the property listed a washer and dryer, but it’s not for guest to use.

This was the perfect weekend getaway. While the town and park are great, we ended up spending most of our time at the hideaway enjoying the view. Thanks for hosting us, Serina!

This is indeed a very serene and private location, you will be surrounded by nothingness and nature, maybe a few curious coyotes. If you are looking to disconnect from the world in the privacy of nature reserve and pristine dark sky at night, do it! Best time to go - during new moon. Then you will be wow'ed by the sky's beauty as you soak in a brand new hot tub.

We had a wonderful experience at Serena’s camp. Directions were helpful and Serina was communicative. The cabin was as described with a wonderful bathroom. We loved hanging out on the covered porch and the hot tub was amazing to chill out and watch the shooting stars. Don’t hesitate - go ahead and book - you’ll be glad you did!!.

This place is amazing! Serina was a wonderful host. Very secluded, quiet spot, amazing star gazing, hot tub works great. AC kept the room cold during the hot days. WiFi covered most the property which is quite large. The sunrises and sunsets were really a highlight for us. So beautiful. We will be back!

Its a great location, the site is very quiet you have a great view of the stars, you have to off road a little to get to the site but its well worth it. The jacuzzi is clean and well maintained and the ac in the room works well which is needed in the summer heat.

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.
