The Bird Line, California

The Bird Line is a respite for people to exist between spaces, places, and categories of belonging and identity. Here, people can be, create and/or become outside of the dominant landscape of society. In addition to seasonal camping, The Bird Line also hosts artist residencies, workshops, and retreats. Stop in during your lines of flight and camp, rest, and explore

The Bird Line nests on spacious slice of open desert and features a shared open-air shelter - a nice shady respite in the desert, central to six reservable campsites. Sites are available to tent campers, self contained mobile units such as vans, vehicles with small trailers, and adventure vehicles (motorcycles too). The shelter (repurposed homestead cabin) offers a gathering spot for campers to cook and socialize together, and includes a shared kitchen sink with hot and cold washing water. The host has a bedroom and private bath in the shelter. For guests there is an outdoor bathroom - flush toilet (with optional bidet), fulled heated shower and sink. Care is being taken to disinfect shared surfaces.

Come enjoy the raw desert - the views are gorgeous. It is a quiet place, this Wonder Valley. Come think, write, and make art - star gaze, and sit around the campfire or hang out in the Hammock Hut. Hike nearby at Joshua Tree National Park (or Bureau of Land Management areas). Socialize and listen to live music at The Palms Restaurant, the local watering hole.

When booking, select the site that best suits your needs:

1) and 2) - best for vans and adventure rigs

3) - best for car and tent

4) and 5) best for vehicles with small trailers 

6) park near the shelter and walk in to pitch tent

We look forward to hosting you.
