Private sites camping near Palm Springs

We loved our stay at the Eagles Nest Cabin! Very comfortable bed, incredible shower, the compost toilet was also very convenient. Ken was a fantastic host - incredibly communicative, helpful, and respectful of privacy. We'll definitely be back!

The glamping site on Ken’s land was A M A Z I N G. Picturesque views from the eagle’s nest cabin with great amenities and beautiful cabin and outdoor bathroom. 10/10 recommend - I WILL be coming back. P.S thanks for bringing me first aid items when I needed them!

Tammy

Excellent value for money and ideally situated if you want to visit Palm Springs or Idyllwild. The natural spring water pools are perfect for taking the edge off the desert heat. Ron is super friendly and very welcoming.

Ken’s place was the perfect getaway! This tucked away, private, romantic, cozy, welcoming gem was an amazing find and we definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a little peace and quiet. The bed was extremely comfy and one can easily spend hours there staring out at the serene views of nature. The fridge/freezer combo was just big enough to store our food for the weekend. The kitchen area outside had everything one could want to make themselves a good meal. We brought our regular camping kitchen kit but Ken’s place did have also have pans, utensils, plates, cups if you aren’t traveling with those. The shower was excellent and perfect after a long day out. The composting toilet was easy to use and very convenient. Ken was awesome and very welcoming. He helped us check in, checked in on us via message, helped us out with anything we needed and helped us find some local stuff to do. All around an amazing experience that was just what we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you so much Ken! We will definitely be back.

1 night at Mineral Spring Date Farm

Amazing stay at Granite Mountain! We stayed at The Eagles Nest site which had a beautiful, shaded view of the valley during the day, and of the stars in the sky at night. Ken was great, providing all the information we needed at every point of our stay, and the cabin was well stocked with everything that was mentioned as included. We had a great time taking a day trip to the nearby olive oil tasting, a bakery, and coffee shop, before coming back to rest on the deck during the afternoon and begin cooking for dinner. It was super peaceful and exactly what we wanted. Excited to stay again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Serene forest privacy for 4WD

Everything about this cabin was incredible. The views of the lake and mountain range are breathtaking, the kind that make you just want to sit back and soak it all in. The amenities were thoughtful and top-notch, which made it super easy to pack light and still feel totally comfortable. The bed was cozy, the shower was warm, and the whole place felt like a peaceful off-grid retreat while still having everything you need. It’s the perfect mix of nature and comfort. If you’re looking to unplug and recharge in a beautiful setting, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Simple, clean tent on a large woodsy property just outside of the main area of town. Enjoy morning coffee amongst the trees ☕️

The place was clean, well stocked with all the essentials. The view from the cabin were amazing! We slept so well and had a relaxing weekend. The cabin is also close to an olive farm where you can do olive oil tasting, and close to a really cool art sculpture gallery. We loved our stay here.

I wanted to try something different and it was fun. It was windy but the trees buffered a good amount. Fun camp!

Amazing spot to spent the weekend! The view is amazing and super quiet, also plenty of accommodations including a shower!!! Most definitely a place to go.

Ron's date farm is a very unique and awesome place! The tent was huge and the beds were SOOO comfy! It was clean and the tub was awesome!! I was worried about spider webs but to our surprise there were none anywhere, no bugs or anything! We plan on going back soon...

Great place! Friendly host. AC worked great in the yurt. Beautiful place. Highly recommend.

2 nights at Granite Mountain

I went with my girlfriend and we had a wonderful time. The space was beautiful and private. It’s in the countryside in the sense that there isn’t a ton around but there are some roads with the occasional truck passing by. The cabins are surrounded by thick vegetation which provide most of the privacy, they aren’t far apart and the road is pretty close but you won’t see or think about any of that unless you have a really tall vantage point because of the brush in the way. If your looking for the most secluded one the top campsite (not this one) is the most private. As it’s furthest from the house/parking lot and other cabins, it’s also highest on the hill so you will have the best view. We did not leave the campsite for the one day and two nights we stayed we didn’t want to much more then lounge as the cabin and campsite were wonderful. I can’t speak for the surrounding area beyond saying you would have to get in your car and drive should you want to do anything other than sleep and hang out around the cabin. The outhouse and cabin themselves were wonderful air conditioned and in perfect condition. Although I know better I would not have been surprised if you told me no one else has stayed there and it was just built. As a heads up you may want to bring a swimsuit as nearby there are hot springs that are captured into a series of baths you can go to for 45$. We didn’t speak to the host outside of texts but they seemed lovely.

Weekend Trip to Zephyr Mountain Avocado Grove

What more could you ask for? Clear instructions and communication, amazing location on top of the mountain with sweeping views of the valley below. Peaceful surroundings, private and a host that made us feel very welcomed. Shane went above and beyond to help us when we needed assistance - a kind soul indeed. If you are looking for a great camping spot this is 100% a good decision. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. 10/10. 5 stars!

We had a great time! Favorite part was the mineral spring and the delicious dates.
