Fenced property. Bathroom. Rec room, swamp cooler, tv, refrigerator, wifi, coffee maker (Keurig), table, charge your phones, couch, and UFO art. 🛸 Gated UFO Stargazer Camp | Joshua Tree. Campsite with bathroom + WiFi via Starlink Breakroom. Water available, charge up your phones, and watch some tv. I even have a Keurig machine if you want to make some coffee. Park on the rocks in front. There is a sign that says “guest parking”. You can enter the campground via the gate. Bring your tent and set up at my off-grid retreat, located just five minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. If it is getting too warm you can put on the AC on the break room. Step outside and you’re moments from world-class rock climbing, hiking, and biking, with sweeping Mojave Desert mountain views in every direction. Nearby Pioneertown offers a stroll through classic Hollywood Western history. When the sun goes down, Joshua Tree’s legendary dark skies deliver unforgettable stargazing—and maybe even a UFO sighting or two. A few things to keep in mind: • Water: Please bring your own water for drinking and washing. I do have potable water in the rec room. You can use it. • Trash: This is a "Pack In, Pack Out" site. Please dispose of all trash in public containers outside the retreat. • Questions? Reach out to me anytime! We can’t wait for you to experience the wild, wide-open magic of Hawkins Hideaway.Free WiFi. Park your car and pitch your tent to enjoy the solitude of Hawkins UFO Hideaway. Nice bathroom and break room where you can relax and charge up your phones, make coffee, use my WiFi via starlink, and enjoy my UFO artwork. 🛸 The best thing to do is to use this campsite is to just relax. If you want, you can drive around the dirt roads and explore the surrounding area. There is the Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum, which features outlandish creations from our consumer society and you can view Transmission sculpture by David Popper by heading north on Sunfair to the top of the road. Need a nice cup of Joe, head over to Mas or Menos, just a half mile east on Highway 62 on the south side of the road.

Hawkins UFO Hideaway
Never made it to the campground, had a personal problem. Host was very friendly and responsive with messaging and very price friendly. Nothing to say about the site. But the people behind were cool.
