Within a 60-minute drive from the Black Rock Nature Center.

Nestled on five acres of serene desert landscape, Esperanza’s Sanctuary offers a peaceful and immersive experience surrounded by nature, conservation lands, and breathtaking mountain vistas nestled on a farm sanctuary. This is not your typical glamping destination it’s a place to reconnect with the land, appreciate the beauty of desert wildlife, farm animals, and enjoy a sustainable, lifestyle. Wake up to the golden hues of the sunrise stretching over the San Jacinto, San Bernardino, and Santa Rosa Mountains, and fall asleep under a crystal-clear night sky blanketed in stars. Bring your telescope or use ours (if available) to explore the cosmos, or simply relax by your campfire and take in the distant twinkle of city lights, the slow movement of cars on Highway 74, and the faint blink of the tram station on the mountain ridge. As a working nonprofit farm animal sanctuary, you may hear the soft murmurs of our resident animals as they go about their day. While not every space is accessible to guests, you will have the opportunity to witness the magic of protected desert species, and if you’re quiet and patient, you might catch a glimpse of a kit fox, burrowing owl, or even the elusive desert pupfish in the nearby Coachella Valley Preserve, which is accessible by foot from the property. What to Expect: A peaceful desert setting bordering BLM and conservation land Unparalleled stargazing and breathtaking 360-degree mountain views Sustainable amenities we embrace a partially off-grid lifestyle while still providing necessary conveniences Rustic and authentic camping this is not a five-star glamping resort, but a place to experience the desert as it is Close to nature but not completely remote we have neighbors, and we live onsite to care for the sanctuary animals This is an experience for those who seek solitude, starry skies, and an authentic connection to the land.
