3 Peaks Sanctuary
This beautiful and remote desert area is well maintained. Nice flat clearings for camp. Amazing place to see the stars on a clear night. Epic sunrises. Light breeze but the wind was not an issue when we camped here. If you take your time on the roads and pay attention to the weather then you won't have problems. Looking forward to going back solo or with a small group soon.

Really unique location! My review may not be the best representation of what it's like to camp here (I only booked 1 night), and very high winds caused me to leave in the middle of the night. I was car camping and could barely exit the car due to wind, and I could not locate the toilet (at least I couldn't find it in the car using my high beams). I did not see the campground during the daylight at all, keep this in mind. The directions to the camp were detailed, and there's an 80% chance I ended up in the right spot. I arrived around 11pm. I'd recommend for others to arrive during the day and give yourself plenty of time to travel down the dirt roads. I left around 3am and took some wrong turns, but I had some of the roads on Google Maps loaded, so using that and the car compass, I found the right road again. On the upside, the stars were beautiful. Definitely an adventure!

Beautiful and secluded! Easy walk to rocks and great for dogs. Take it slow on fr"59 if washboard is a concern, harper lake road is paved 55 mph.

Two Playas of the Mojave
Tedd is super cool and the two playas was the perfect spot to watch the meteor shower. Not too hard to get to and everyone we came across were super friendly people

Great spot if you’re looking for some secluded desert camping. You get some huge rock piles to explore - there’s a lot of desert wildlife. The drive in is a bit bumpy so you’ll have to drive slow most of the way. There’s some crude fire pits made by past campers.
Only con we found really was that some past campers left garbage: glass, boxes, abandoned shoes.. It’s a choose your own spot camping area so you can always find a nice clean spot.
If you’re into it, you’ll be passing the Mojave solar project on your way to the site. A massive solar compound in the middle of the desert just off the highway.

Private area full of amazing wild life. BEWARE OF SNAKES! My 8 year old was playing in the dirt looking at rocks because the rock's in the area are superb and he looks over to see a sidewinder rattle snake looking at him he slowly backed away Until he could run to the car. He was not bit thank God but it was too close for comfort. Also you do need a 4x4 or else you will get stuck and there are no tows close by so be prepared. It's gorgeous there and we will return.

I almost didn't want to leave a review in order to keep the spot a secret. The spot was absolutely gorgeous and in a secluded area. I loved that it was far enough from Cuddleback that we weren't disturbed by anyone riding on the lake. A bit difficult to find if you're not entirely focused, but nothing too stressful. Be aware that there's no natural shading so if you go in the summer be prepared! Overall, Tedd was a great host and very responsive to my inquiries. Thanks so much!

Came back for year two at this special spot and plan to keep returning! The landscape here is so special, and the three peaks nearby have become a ritual to walk to and climb. Grateful to have found this space and to hopefully keep returning year after year!

3 Peaks Sanctuary
Amazing stay , great instruction to location I was able to find my way in the middle of the night and very friendly host. Also a great spot to go star gazing.

We loved our stay at 3 Peaks Sanctuary! It's really in the middle of nowhere which is awesome for events. We didn't have to worry about our music being too loud or staying up late. We enjoyed great desert sunsets, campfires, and camp games. We hosted almost 50 people here for a group camping trip and it was a blast.

Amazing stay and wonderful host. Had my dream campout for my birthday celebration on this special land. The perfect place to gather friends and family from near and far and have the place to ourselves. Such a special place! Would definitely recommend this host and 3 Peaks to whomever was looking to camp out without a campground atmosphere. Felt very nice to get into nature and not be surrounded by other campers outside of our party. Thanks, Tedd!

Great spot to camp! Had a little trouble with the directions (mainly because it was well after dark when we arrived) but once we arrived it was perfect. Lots of open flat space to choose from. We were the only ones out there on the night we stayed. Wish we could have spent a few more nights there. The start gazing is phenomenal and the desert sunrise was one for the books.

Directions getting there and back were very clear, as well as all the information provided. Really great location, with magnificent views of the snow-covered sierras, and Mammoth on one side, and the vast Mojave on the surrounding areas. The three peaks at night resemble pyramid silhouettes. The camping area is well-maintained, and clean! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a really good getaway at a low price, and priceless views. oh I didn’t mention how amazing the stars on a dark night.

3 Peaks Sanctuary
WOW. We gathered as a group of 20 at 3 peaks this past weekend for a meaningful camping retreat. It was the most special place- we can't wait to return. We hiked to the peaks, enjoyed the sunset, and saw more stars than we had ever seen. So grateful to have found this place!

Amazing beautiful location waaaay off the grid, but easy to locate. Tedd's directions were exact and on point, and the land itself was clean when we arrived. For our stay it was quite windy, so I'd recommend bringing sufficient equipment needed to keep your tent and belongings from flying away. The view of both sunset and sunrise were magical. Would go again.

Awesome location - we were truly on our own in the middle of the desert! Was a long 7 miles off the main road but totally worth it once we got there. Follow the directions exactly and you'll find it!

Really enjoyed our stay at 3 peaks. Directions were accurate and Tedd was great. Definitely take some type of atv or bike to be able to see the area around. Planning on going again soon but this time with a larger group!

I needed a dark, isolated sure for the jupiter-Saturn conjunction, and this place fit my need perfectly. I walked to the three peaks during the day. I wish I brought a mountain bike as there are lots of ATV roads to explore. Otherwise, nobody around for miles, a big empty desert site and beautiful skies.
The directions are ready to follow, just set your odometer at each turn and follow simple compass directions.

This place was great. Tedd was responsive and gave great directions, and was very helpful when we had a dead car battery.
We did have a lot of off-roaders ride right up to the site and stare several times and then leave, which made us feel not entirely safe 8 miles off the road. Also, due to lack of a toilet, there was a lot of old toilet paper in the surrounding fauna which should really be addressed. We packed everything out, but it seems others have not done that.
Other than that we had a great time and would absolutely return.

Dusty isolated roads opening into a creosote terrain full of darting jackrabbits and other desert critters, camping here is an escape to view the unique humble magnificence of these craggy crumbly buttes sitting solemnly maybe for always. We saw one or two other groups car camping as did we, tent camping for one night to view the stars. We had a normal cell signal the entire time, but that’s my experience, so it was beneficial to refer to a star map of Saturn following Jupiter. Follow Teds instructions and you can’t stray from the way, but hey familiarize yourself with the area before coming and you definitely learn an interesting thing or two about another little corner of the Mojave often overlooked by people passing through from the main highway. We don’t have an SUV but the dirt roads are totally doable to a normal car in good working condition. There’s no park services or anything like that out here like water or sewage so remember that. The pit toilet is a dug out toilet so expect that but it’s part of the charm of this wilderness, and come prepared with water and a full tank as you normally do in the desert. If you’re weary of other busy body group campsites this is desert serenity and the Buttes really are soothing wise monoliths to be awed by and respected, it’s a short walk from camp, we just drove to them a short ways at sunrise, it really is a sanctuary. I would definitely camp here again and have more fond memories to weave into my quilt of the Mojave. Thank You Ted for sharing this space with us.

3 peaks sanctuary was the perfect spot for my group camping trip. Complete seclusion in a desert landscape only a couple hours from
LA. Whether it’s 1 or 60 people complete peace & quiet without city light pollution or busy crowds. Teds instructions were clear and concise. This land is primitive though the camping area was cleared & level enough for pitching tents Roads were dirt but well maintained & marked. Access by all cars was not a problem (trailer & RVs would be ok!) , just make sure you follow Ted’s directions. We brought our own water & generators so that made our experience more comfortable. There is a fire pit as well. Ted was very easy to communicate with, he was available anytime via text during our stay. Only thing that could of been better was weather our first day as winds were very strong, which was no fault of teds. Overall the location and natural beauty out weighed the windy setback. I’m would recommend 3 peaks sanctuary to experienced campers who want isolation in the beautiful Southern California desert. Thanks Ted!
