The Good & The Bad

40 ft Class A · With pets ·

25' x 80' Shaded Gravel Pad Site 7

This RV resort is close to Joshua Tree’s north entrance. Very convenient. There is plenty of shopping nearby, as well as restaurants. The view of the mountains is great. The “resort” has a pool, game room, laundry & office, FHU and fenced pet area. The place is a parking lot with trees. All concrete & gravel. Behind the business is a natural gas filling station of city/county vehicles, so vehicles are pulling through all day long. The property also seems to be a cut though as cars/pickups would drive in from the street and go through a gate in the back. Someone was in our site when we arrived. I contacted the host and he put us in another site, which was fine. We were told that checkout was 11am, Hipcamp indicates “before noon.” Not a big issue but Hipcamp info should be updated. Overall a spot to stay to see Joshua Tree.

We loved the very comfortable Airstream, perfectly equipped with what you need. Vinyl player with some vinyls was very much welcome. Very clean premises.

This vintage trailer is such a cute stay! The trailer was the perfect size for two people, the bed was very comfy after a long few weeks of car camping! Well decorated and nice to be able to park right in front of the trailer.

Easy self check-in & out, all info sent via message, site was clean and showers were good. Pool was out of commission (as of Dec 2024... too cold for it anyway), but ping pong table and Mortal Kombat arcade game worked great!

We were not able to communicate with the camp owner through the hipcamp webadress. Our camping spot was changed and we were not informed in time. We had to ask another resident the codes of the bathroom and shower. The swimming pool was not open in the morning.
