Mineral Spring Date Farm

Overall we made the most of our time here. The yurt was comfortable. Extremely windy nights and it held up very well. Bed was comfortable. I was expecting more of a “glamping” experience as far as the compound and amenities. Our site was more rustic than expected. We are experienced tent campers so we made it work, but people who don’t camp or aren’t up for a rustic location, may have a harder time. Tons of bees and wasps at our site and we had to leave for several hours during the day until they went away. Even went and purchased Benadryl since we had a 15 month old with us. They hung around from sun up to sun down. Having a bathroom available was nice. The ac inside the yurt was able to get about 20 degrees lower than outside temp. So 100+ degree days we got it to around 85. Night time was around 75 at night and 70 in the yurt. There was a lot of random junk laying around, trashed old outdoor furniture and just a lot of piles of junk. I wish we could have experienced a well kept camp site. The “mineral” tub was flooding out to a large portion of the site and created a lot of mud, it also contained a large amount of algae. We definitely did not get in. We were able to use the above ground tub, which helped. I think there’s a lot of potential here but the photos and other reviews did not match the campsite we had and we stayed with 2 adults and a 15 month old. The owner is nice and maybe we could have asked for different accommodations but we just stuck it out for 2 nights.

Ron's date farm is a very unique and awesome place! The tent was huge and the beds were SOOO comfy! It was clean and the tub was awesome!! I was worried about spider webs but to our surprise there were none anywhere, no bugs or anything! We plan on going back soon...

✨ Sunrise, Dates & Domes: A Desert

We had a great experience at the date farm stay. Check-in was super smooth—when the host called, he just told us where to go, but what really stood out was that he was actually there in person at 5:00 a.m. to guide us to the dome. That was especially helpful since the site is big and not super obvious to navigate in the dark. The geodesic dome we stayed in was cozy and surprisingly well-equipped. Outside the dome, everything we needed was thoughtfully provided—there was even a working tea kettle and some really good tea (Jake’s Delicious Tea) that hit just right while we watched the sunrise rise above the palm dates and snowcapped mountains, with Salton Sea shimmering off in the distance. They had fresh dates available in the kitchen, and they were as good as you'd expect from a working date farm. We also walked over to Azer down the street for breakfast, and honestly, it was probably the best breakfast we had in Desert Palm Springs. The location was perfect—secluded enough to feel peaceful but still close enough to Palm Springs to walk into town, grab some ice cream, or do... you know, that thing you like to do in Palm Springs. 😉

Camping among yummy dates.

Wonderful time. Hidden tents among the date Groves was so private and relaxing. The individual mineral spring jacuzzi at each camping location was a nice touch as well as the mineral spring swimming pool. The dates very yummy. At first we where worried about the heat but the tents are set up nicely with air-conditioned. Overall, a great place.

Camping among dates.

What a wonderful place for glamping. My family had a good time. We where at first afraid it would be to hot to stay since it is out in the dessert but Ron had each tent set up with air-conditioned and the placement of the tents where shady and private. We loved that each spot had its own little mineral water jacuzzi like tub to use. There is also a large mineral pool to enjoy. The property is fun to explore and we felt very safe on it. Ron is also very personal and great host. He left us some amazing dates that they harvest right there on the farm as a treat and remembrance of our trip. We will make sure to come back.

Wonderful experience

My wife and I stayed at Ron's date farm for the weekend. It was a very good location for our combined Palm Springs and Joshua Tree trip. Ron and Myung are such generous hosts! Ron checked on us to make sure everything was going well, and he was incrediblyb responsive when I texted him regarding our add-ons. Myung is so incredibly sweet and she makes killer ramyun! Loved the sundae and the pig trotters she added into the soup. The dates are a must-try as well. Staying at the yurt site was also wonderful. We loved soaking in the natural mineral spring in the evening, and watching the stars. Fire pit was also lovely. There was also good distance between the other camp sites. It was really like a dream, watching cottontail rabbits hop around the dates, and falling asleep to the sound of the running mineral spring and the soft rustling of the palm trees. Would stay again if given the chance!

Super cozy under the stars!

This was my second time staying here and it was even better than the first! I came back because this place left a big impression on me the first time, and Ron & Myung are always improving the grounds and ways to make everything more comfortable for guests, they are amazing! Highly recommend this literal desert oasis if you’re looking for a cozy glamping getaway. And the private mineral spring and hot tub makes it a real treat for yourself or other guests :)

Perfect Private Oasis

Ron was a great host who helped guide us to our yurt and assisted us with anything we needed help with. Our plot was amazing! We loved the two mineral water pools, one cooler one where you can control the heat (it can get very hot!). We utilized the included grill and had a wonderful time dining under the palm leaves. The trees really made it feel like we were in a private oasis! The yurt was very sturdy that didn’t budge even with the super high winds we experienced (25-40mph). Inside included a comfy bed, heater, AC, lamp, and power strip. The bathrooms were extremely clean and it was nice that there was a kitchen available. Make sure to try the dates they are delicious 😋 Pro tip: heat them over the fire or grill for a caramel-like texture and taste.

We truly enjoyed our stay on the date farm. Ron and Myung were wonderful hosts. Our tent was very clean and comfortable. It even had air conditioning, electricity, and a lamp. The site featured a private mineral pool, firepit, patio furniture, and a hammock. The shared bathroom was exceptionally clean, and the communal kitchen was equipped with a fridge, Keurig, and supplies available for campers to use. A unique and peaceful experience!

A Wonderful Unique Stay

Hot Springs Date Farm

Ronald was an excellent host, his property is as beautiful as advertised and he was extremely accommodating towards us, both before and after we arrived. Staying here was a unique opportunity that I would recommend to anyone. The spring fed hot tub and soaking pool were an absolute luxury to have at our disposal. It's clear a lot of thought and time has gone into making each of their sites a comfortable experience that you could spend every minute of your trip in and feel satisfied with where your time went afterwards.

Best clamping in the area

Mineral Spring Date Farm Oasis

One of the best glamping experiences I’ve ever had. The entire setup was a 10/10—from the moment I arrived, everything felt thoughtful, seamless, and peaceful. The space offered total privacy, and I felt completely safe throughout my stay. I originally booked just one night, but ended up extending my trip because the first night was that good. The water is pristine, the tents are incredibly comfortable, and the setting is perfect for recharging. Ron is a fantastic host, and his wife made me the best ramen I’ve ever had—and I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Japan, so that’s saying something. I’m so grateful for the experience and only wish them continued success as they grow this beautiful offering. Thank you again—hope to be back soon.

Mineral Spring Date Farm Oasis

Great experience. Tent and bed were clean and comfortable, mineral pool was absolutely lovely. Amazing to have my own private oasis on the camp ground (totally private). Bathrooms are communal, but I didn’t run into anyone there. The night I stayed was really windy, so I didn’t sleep as well as I might have (the tent moved a lot but was well grounded!), but that’s just the nature of camping. Ron was really friendly and super responsive. Highly recommend.

Camper/RV Site

Was an amazing experience for the whole family. The kids loved the hot tubs and seeing the goats was so magical at night walking around plenty of space. Being able to wash our camp dishes in a sink was a special treat. The house are kind and welcoming. This is a space we enjoyed connecting with fellow travelers as well as quality time with family and the date palms which sheltered us from the wind and provided shade and ambiance creating the perfect camping home. We loved that Sam’s which is a family friendly day pool spot was walkable/bikeable, we had a great day there. Im excited to come back and see what Ronald continues to create with the space. The dates are delicious too, be sure to get a pack!
