The desert is really lovely right now, and so are the mineral baths.
We have no lodging here, so park your RV or car or set your tent up right next to outdoor hot mineral baths where pure water flows from under the desert at 124 degrees then we let it cool down to whatever temperature feels right. Only 1 group (max 6) at a time so it will always be private, and we are very conscientious of our guest's privacy, but are always available for questions via text or phone.

Located in a rural desert setting 1 hour south of Indio, in the morning shadow of the Chocolate Mountains, this is a working farm growing 7 varieties of organic dates: medjool, barhi, khadrawi, halawi, khalas, dayri and zahidi.
Ideal bath times are nighttime and early morning, and day soaks are an option too if you live locally and just want to spend a few hours soaking.
We have a private driveway and fenced property and there are no nearby homes. It is an extremely safe neighborhood here...never having a single incident of theft, vandalism or intrusion in the 19 years of residence. This is where the beautiful natural hot healing waters flow out of the earth as described in the famed "Desert Magazine" article of November 1956 "Little Yellowstone on the Salton Shores". A very remarkable but little-known secret in the California desert.
18 years of date harvests have made life and residence purposeful here on this 7-acre flank of the Chocolate Mountains. Desert Magazine (1956) describes the hot water here to be "richer in mineral content than any spa water in the United States excepting those in the Yellowstone Park area. Here then was mineral water rivaling that of Spa Royat in France; Bad-Nauheim in Germany; and Marianbad in Czechoslovakia. Here was water superior to that which the royal heads of Europe had paid princely sums to use."
2-wheel drive vehicles, including cars are all one needs to reach the farm.
Some wild deer in the neighborhood, but also bighorn sheep, fox, coyote, bobcat, hawks, owls, lizards, geckos and rabbits. Native artifacts have been discovered on the property and our desert nights are free of light pollution.
Private hot springs on small farms are extremely rare anywhere in America, but especially within 2 and 1/2 hours of greater Los Angeles. This is a really great place to empty your head out and enjoy the lovely weather and an even better place to get and stay healthy in these unpredictable times. This place is ideally suited for health-oriented folks. No tobacco, alcohol, vaping, cannabis or drugs allowed. And in the pools no lotions, perfume, hair care products, makeup, or sunscreen. No food or glass near the pools, and we are not set up for small kids or pets. Cookstoves are okay here, just no campfires due to an excess of brush in the region.
Verizon and AT&T and T Mobile phone service all work well here. We are 4 miles from Bombay Beach, 35 minutes from Mecca, 1 hour and 20 minutes from Palm Springs, 1 hour from the Coachella Music Festival location, in the direction with light traffic. 1 hour and 30 minutes from Joshua Tree south entrance, 1 hour and 10 minutes from La Quinta and 2 hours and 30 minutes from Los Angeles area and 2 hours 30 minutes from San Diego area. We are 30 minutes to Salvation Mountain/The Slabs and 1 hour 10 minutes to Painted Canyon (The Slot Canyons in the Mecca Hills). The last half mile before our gate is a dirt road that can have seasonal ruts and washboard surface from off-roaders, so passenger cars will need to take it slow but can still make it.
We are not a posh resort, and because it's a farm there are a few odd structures and tools on the property, but that's just part of the art. The rock pools and hot water baths are lovely at night under the stars near the palms, and that's what this place is all about.
This farm is in the low (elevation) desert, where the winter days are warm with springtime-like weather from November - March.
The colder high desert areas in the Morongo Basin (Joshua Tree, 29 Palms etc.) are more popular tourist destinations, but sometimes they are so popular that the traffic can be as bad as any city, with no flowing water and the Bighorn Sheep are hiding away deep in the boulders. The low desert has nicer winter days, hot springs, flowing water, far less traffic and more places to observe wildlife.
Bring flip flops, towels and flashlights.

Nestled in the heart of the desert, Blu-In RV Park stands out as a unique destination for families seeking adventure and unforgettable memories. Founded by Jeff and Patti Jester, who have been exploring the off-road trails of the desert since 1982, this RV park was designed with family fun in mind. Their vision was to create a welcoming space where families could bond over thrilling off-roading experiences and enjoy the beauty of nature.
With the support and enthusiasm of fellow off-roaders, the Jesters successfully completed the Blu-In RV Park in April 2009. Over the years, they dedicated themselves to fostering a vibrant community filled with laughter and camaraderie. In the summer of 2021, the Jesters passed the torch to the Manthei family, who have been involved in the RV industry since the 1970s. The Mantheis are eager to uphold the park's legacy and continue providing a desert oasis for family fun.

What a stellar HipCamp! Can’t say enough good things about Gordon - he was a wonderful host and extremely accommodating when my travel plans changed. Quick to respond, easy directions, met me upon arrival and assisted me in backing onto the concrete pad then gave me a tour. He set the hot springs to reach the ideal temperature for the time requested, both the evening I arrived and for the morning before I left. It was exactly what I needed after a long travel day and a week of plans being delayed. Sitting in the springs under the full moon surrounded by the sounds of the desert was exquisite. 10/10 would recommend and will say again when coming through the area! ⭐️

Gordon's hot springs were SUCH a treat after a long day of hiking! I kept him updated about my ETA and when I arrived after dinner the pools were a perfect temperature for a pre-bedtime bath. I also got to learn about date farming, which was fascinating. Stay here!

Gordon is very accommodating . Hot pool available when you are ready. It was very quiet, but a bit warm weather. So we used the pool hot under the moonlight and cool in the day. Have stayed before and will stay again.

What a magical little gem of a place to find in the middle of the desert. Had a beautiful night listening to the thousands of birds. Watching the sunset and sunrise was incredible. Smelling the fruit trees blew my mind. My dog and I did get to see the peacock watching over us through the night and were delighted that six great egrets nested in the tree right above where we were sleeping. My Merlin Bird app went absolutely nuts in this place!!
A porta-potty was delivered just as I was setting up and it was so clean, and very much appreciated.
If I had known how special this place was I probably would have carved out a little more time to stay longer.

There are so many reasons why The Nest is a great place to stay!
The decor is awesome so it’s just a nice space to relax and enjoy.
The location is amazing - right next to the beach and The Institute (museum and events).
Because of the large egg on the roof (that is lighted at night) this place is always easy to find.
Tao is a great host and I would stay on any of his properties!

Off the beaten path, rustic and beautiful setting, Gordon the host is friendly and very accommodating while at the same time allowing us to feel like we had our own private oasis all to ourselves, while gordon was merely a text away if needed....The shady cabana was perfect for a gorgeous view of the salton sea in the distance and a light pollution free view of epic starscapes. The nighttime temperature in early February was deliciously cool but not cold, the daytime temps mid 70s....it was a most relaxful and tranquil experience. We felt as if we were on a tropical desert island all to ourselves...it was a blessing to be able to share in such a special and wonderfully curated oasis. We would love to come back again.Thank you Gordon!

Wow if you love the desert and complete privacy this is the quintessential Hipcamp. We had a sweet little campfire under a 96% full moon. We put our Sportsmobile into 4 wheel action and Ben provided excellent guidance into his site. Mountains all around and the site is surrounded by trails in every direction.
