The Hideout was perfect for my family of 4 this weekend! Janna is lovely and communicated really well. The site has so many great amenities, including many places to build a fire, a pool table, horseshoes, a place to grill, an outdoor shower, and more. The beds in the tent were super comfortable with plenty of blankets. I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Joshua Tree.

Janna’s place was great! The tent had everything we needed and the location was just a hop skip and a jump away from the Joshua Tree main gate. We had fun playing pool and eating our meals in the kitchen prep area. It was a bit chilly in the desert in December, but there were plenty of blankets in the tent to keep warm. I would recommend staying here if you get the chance!

We had an absolutely amazing time! Being able to take a hot shower and cook a hot meal on the grill really was a blessing after hiking all day. Instructions on how to use the kitchen area and shower were easy to follow. I would highly recommend staying here any time of year!

Jana was amazing! Communication was great and the place as described! She went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. We will come back again in the future! My recommendation is to come earlier fall, we came late November (winter) was a little cold and windy, so if you are coming from a warmer place like us :) We loved the kitchen/bar area, and the fire pit :) . 100% recommended if you are going to Joshua Tree!!! Thank you so much!

This place is awesome. We stayed in the glamping tent and the host provides everything you need for a fantastic camping experience. While we were there it was a little too windy to take advantage of the outdoor shower, but what a great commodity to have available? The shared cookspace makes meal prep really easy. They also have a coffemaker onsight that was a big help to getting our morning started. Hosts were amiable and easygoing, allowed us to use their firepit and seemed extremely laidback. Would highly recommend and will definitely return if I find myself in the area again.
