Inspiring sunrises and breathtaking sunsets in the high desert are a magical experience matched only by full moon and starfilled moonless nights. We fell in love with this natural land within minutes of Joshua Tree National Park entrance. We began tent camping on the 2.5 acres with friends on weekends and holidays. Eventually we brought our Airstream (The Desert Ambassador) onto the property as an off grid escape from the city. Our plans are to keep the property as natural and unspoiled as possible and continue to share this unique part of the American landscape with you. We now offer 2 sites, Upper and Lower. They are located on opposite sides of the 2.5 acre property and provide a unique private space to enjoy your time in the desert. Learn more about our land: Get away and relax under the Joshua trees with a glass of wine and a book, hike through the meandering terrain, and gather around a glowing fire-pit at night with your family and friends under the vast night sky. The Desert Ambassador Camp is located in the Southern California high desert, less than a 2 hour drive from the Los Angeles/OC area. This secluded escape is a short distance (2.5 mi) to the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, Covington Flats, and Black Rock hiking/day use areas.  Nestled between the towns of Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley, The Desert Ambassador Camp is just minutes away from near by off-road parks like Johnson Valley OHV and other high desert attractions. Our natural (undeveloped) high desert land boasts dozens of Joshua trees, cactus and wildflowers in addition to, views of rocky foothills to the south and the desert valley to the north and east.

3 nights at Mineral Spring Date Farm

The hot mineral water is incredible! We go to a lot of mineral Springs and they all have different minerals and benefits, but we found that Ron’s Hot Springs gave us the most relief out of any hot spring. My husband and I are nearly 70 with lots and lots of aches and pains, and it was amazing how it Soothe them all away. Ron is a very gracious host, very prompt and accommodating if you contact him for anything. Since you’re away from the road, it was very, very quiet and peaceful. We’re already planning our next day there.

Peace and Quiet. For being close to town we could not hear anything. Very well maintained property. While we didn't use the fire pit it was nice. We enjoyed beautiful nights under the stars and unwinding.

We had an amazing time camping in Pioneertown. The campsite was immaculate, offering a breathtaking view of the desert. We could also relish the town’s lively nightlife while enjoying serene nights. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive to our inquiries. We’re definitely booking this spot again when we return to the area.

2 nights at Mineral Spring Date Farm

We reserved an RV/Tent site at the Date Farm and were pleasantly surprised when we were upgraded to the Dome campsite upon arrival. It's a new site on the Date Farm-- what a treat! :) Ron let us check in early and met us at the gate to guide us in with clear instructions. The dome itself was comfortable and well-equipped, with a large bed, seating area, and a private flushing toilet. The mineral pool was a real highlight — the instant hot water heater lets you adjust the temperature as it fills, which is fantastic. Our heater was a bit temperamental and needed attention a few times, but Ron responded quickly and was friendly and helpful each time. One area of concern was the presence of some litter and broken glass around the campsite. This may simply be due to it being a newly opened area, but finding glass shards, litter and loose metal wiring was a bit worrying. Other campsites on the property looked more tidy, so we’re confident this will be addressed as the site continues to develop. Firewood (with lighter fluid) and fresh dates are also available for purchase on-site, which was a nice bonus. Overall, this campground is great! It’s evident that Ron has put a lot of time and care into creating a unique experience. With a little additional cleanup and finishing touches, the Dome campsite will be truly special. We appreciate the upgrade and the hospitality, Ron!

We had the best time on the date farm. Ron is a very friendly host and is super attentive to requests. The hot tub was so relaxing in the middle of the date palms. We stayed in our van, but the yert in the site was nicely appointed with bed and heater. I’m sure it would be a great place to sleep. We will definitely be back, and plan to bring some friends!

A magical place! We were lucky enough to be there during a rainstorm and it was lovely. Don't expect anything fancy- this is, after all, a farm. But you will be able to enjoy serenity in your own little corner, with your own private soaking tub. The mineral water is simply rejuvenating. Ron, the host, is friendly and accomodating. And don't forget to get some dates- chemical free, fresh and delicious.
