Camping in the desert
The place was spectacular. Nice views. Easy to access with the very clear directions given.. Not that far from the city. Perfect for desert lovers. I will rent it again.

The place was amazing, everything was very thoughtfully set up. We even forgot a few cooking items, but luckily they had pretty much everything we needed, which was a huge plus.
That said, I wouldn’t say it comfortably sleeps seven people. There are technically enough sleeping options, but the only truly comfortable spot was the bed. I wouldn’t recommend staying here for more than one night with a group that size.
Also, be aware that it can get very hot, especially when you first arrive. There’s no AC, only a fan, so I’d recommend arriving later in the day if possible to avoid the peak heat.
Lastly, the bees were very active in the morning, which made it difficult to prepare breakfast since they were swarming the area. It would be great if there were something provided to help keep them away.
Overall, the setup and land were incredibly well thought out and made for a really unique and enjoyable stay.

Well equipped and charming.
Went with our 2 large rescue dogs and they loved it. The place was clean and well equiped. It was cold outside at night but the heater worked great. Instructions on how to reach the parking were detailed and easy to follow. Its a really great spot and so close to LA. If you bring your pets, a set of shoes for your furry friends would be a good idea due to the broken glass that pops up in the sand around the area. Our dogs had shoes so no worries for them. As with any off grid space in the California desert, wildlife is a thing to be aware of. There was a family of large coyotes that passed by one afternoon, so keep any eye on your pets. Would definitely come back to enjoy the spot again.

This place was so fun and peaceful to stay at! Will be back for sure. It had great views, great amenities, and easy access to a town about 10 minutes out where you can get anything you need. Loved the projector and pull down screen to enjoy movies and cuddle up in the cutest dome tent for the evening.

The Hilltop Getaway was such a dream for our family getaway! Anita was so responsive and gave such detailed instructions on how to make our stay easy and fun. The property was so amazing too- we got to explore around the whole property and have so much fun! Thank you Anita! I hope we get to stay again!

This was my second time staying at this Hipcamp site and it has had so many upgrades since my first visit. The dome is INCREDIBLE and the entire location is so thoughtfully put together. My partner and I had such a relaxing stay. Anita was a spectacular host, she answered any of our questions very quickly and was clear on instructions. I can’t wait to book again in the future. 100% would recommend to anyone considering booking.

We loved staying at Anita’s land! It was wonderfully secluded, and I loved being able to let my dog run around off-leash without worrying about bothering anyone. The dome was very comfortable, and the décor was absolutely adorable. I especially appreciated having an electric kettle in the dome so I didn’t have to go outside at night just to boil water for tea.
Although it was cloudy and we couldn’t see the stars, we still enjoyed a beautiful view of the city lights. As a solo traveler, I was a little concerned about safety at first, but my hyper-vigilant dog and the security cameras helped me feel much more at ease. Anita’s directions and instructions were clear and detailed, and I had no trouble finding the place. We’ll definitely be back!

Super Beautiful!
Super beautiful spot! The site itself is set up very cute and comfortable. It’s off-grid but still very usable. The site is magnificent. Beautiful rock mountains everywhere, gorgeous views, and so secluded.
I suggest triple checking directions- the names of the streets on the maps do not coincide with the actual street names. So don’t follow the maps, follow the pictures, there are sand traps everywhere.
The dome itself is also charming and all-in-all a total gem of a spot! We loved it.

Glamping with our dogs
The property was clean and the views were wonderful. Our dogs loved running around the property. The dome was comfortable and equipped with essentials.. the firepit, cowboy pool, and nearby benches for watching the view was wonderful.

The owner's instructions were essential! We arrived late evening (not recommended) but were able to still find the one road to the campsite. (Note: I don't believe the road that guests turn off from the main road is marked with a street sign.) This campsite was thoughtfully layed out, magically lit with lights dotted around the property. The site provided needed shade, super charging battery station, evaporative cooler, and cowboy pool that was refreshing and clean. The two water pump porta potties and gas-heated shower in the clean W.C. shed were further camp luxuries. Stargazing was amazing! Plenty of bouldering onsite. We even were able to enjoy a movie on a projector screen from within the tent. Property is not fenced off, but we felt private and safe. Host's response time was good.

Magical Hilltop Getaway
The Hilltop was a magical getaway in Lancaster/Palmdale area. My husband and I appreciate that Anita provided many amenities including towels, shampoo, bug spray, a blow horn, games, speakers, heater, cooler, fridge, and more to make us feel safe in a desert area. WiFi and charging outlets are provided. There is a projector screen in the tent if campers are interested in watching movies. The string lights are beautiful at night as well as furniture set up for relaxing, eating, and cooking. It’s easy to sleep at night being that the area is quiet. The pool is clean and nice but the water is on the colder side, suitable for hotter weather. A few cons about the area is that there isn’t too much to do; but if you are interested in an intimate time at the site itself with nice views of the city and small hikes around the rocky areas, this site is great. We did encounter two wild dogs run across the site, but they had scurried away. When we stayed, the shower heater was not working, as well as the heater in the tent. The off-road portion to the campsite was not too long; thus, my husband’s 2WD was just fine to use to get to the site. Hopefully, Anita can have those amenities fixed. Getting to the site was not too difficult as long as you carefully follow directions and not stray off the path. Overall, it was a nice getaway with great amenities and cute decor. I would recommend this site to those interested in a quick, magical getaway.

Our stay did not start off as we had planned, despite the instructions on navigating to the property- there were exact pinpoint locations that we were told to copy and paste into our map and then there was a conflicting set of pictures that we were also told to follow to get to the property. We got stuck in the sand and had to call the tow truck to help us get out and navigate us to the property correctly. However since it was very close to sunset and my daughter being an amputee we had to hike almost 2 mi to make it there before the sun went down as we were unsure how long it would take the tow truck to get our van out of the sand. Upon arrival there were several propane tanks that were empty and did not work and needed to be replaced so that evening was very cold. A lot of the furniture was broken including the futon bed to sleep on, the bench on the picnic table to have dinner on outside and the chair next to the fire pit. There was also a lot of broken solar lights left on the ground, trash throughout the site that hadn't been picked up as well as cigarette butts. The place was very private and very cute and despite the start to our trip we made some good memories celebrating our 13 year anniversary with our children. Having some sort of physical welcome guide and operator manual for what to do on site and how to find different things would have been very very helpful. The owner Anit communicated through the app however not wanting to use my phone was also a priority.

Extremely cool vibe!
This was a very cool trip for me, my son, and two of his friends for their birthdays. Even with the insane heat wave, we had a great time. The views are stunning and both sunset and sunrise were amazing. The spot has everything you need and is extremely comfortable. The cowboy tub kept us cool in the afternoon and then the temperature was beautiful during the night. We also really enjoyed the kitchen and had a great barbecue. If you forgotten anything, there’s a store literally about 5 to 10 minutes away maximum. If you love the desert and love to camp, this is the spot for you!

Fun for the Family!
Anita’s land was an amazing family getaway! So close but no one around. We hung out and enjoyed the sun & pool area. Hiked around the landscape for sunset. Barbecued dinner outside and watched the stars come out! Lastly a movie night in the dome. Can’t wait to come back to this little escape.

Great for young families!
We had a fabulous time! We are a family of 4 with two young boys and we all had a blast walking the grounds, climbing rocks and watching a movie in the dome. It was really a special time for each of us and we will definitely be back!

Glamping Dome Hilltop Desert Oasis
Amazing hilltop oasis in the desert! I always look for getaway properties where I can find solitude; away from other campers, roads, and the usual commotions and distractions of populated areas. This property nails it! I’m so impressed how someone can take a unique location; small plot of land in the middle of nowhere and turn it into an enchanting glamping experience.

Perfect get away
Here’s a polished version with added detail:
“My husband, our dogs, and I had an amazing getaway at Anita’s land. The highlight was definitely the dome, especially at night. We got to use the projector Anita kindly gifted to my husband for his birthday, free of charge. It made movie nights under the stars truly unforgettable. The whole place has a unique charm quiet, relaxing, with a cozy fireplace perfect for unwinding and stargazing. Max and Dante had a blast, running around and exploring the open space. It’s a serene retreat that we can’t wait to revisit.”

Starwars Birthday treat eve ;)
I just love this little part of the world. I came to Anita’s land 2 years ago and totally fell in love then. Now Anita has expanded her wonderful dome that allowed me to bring all my family to this magical place for my husbands birthday eve on our road trip.
The kitchen has everything I needed. The bathroom was so clean, practical and efficient. My 9 year old may never wash indoors again ;). I spent my evening smiling, resting on the lounging chairs whilst my large family enjoyed playing games, watching car lights in the distance and finally taking time to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful surroundings.
I will return again.
Maybe by myself for 3 days ;) ;) ;)

This place is so awesome! The views are incredible and the set up of the camp is so thoughtful and so well done! So nice to get away without having to really get away being so close to the city. If you forget anything, you’re a quick drive to town so no need to stress. We relaxed by the pool and rinsed off in the shower that had great water pressure and got warm super fast and stayed warm. Made dinner using the outdoor bbq and sat around the fire pit. The inside of the tent was very warm when we first arrived but the swamp cooler provided cools it down significantly making it very comfortable to sleep. Before you go to bed, do yourself a favor and hike up the hill a bit and admire the stars and just take a moment to enjoy! Such a great trip. Would love to come back!

Waw splendid time for couples
My husband and I chose our first
Glamping experience when celebrating our 10th marriage anniversary and it was splendid!!! I stayed for two days and we were able to spend some very good quality time with each other. I enjoyed most waking up and enjoying my alone time hiking in the fresh air and resorting to cooling off inside the cowboy together, watching sunsets, having just the right ways to restore and rekindle. Anita was lovely to assist us! Thanks a lot! Beautiful vision you had for this!

It was such a great experience the dome was a cute little getaway. My twin sister, her 4 year old daughter, and I stayed comfortably. I would definitely recommend this place. The pool was great. The cooking area was fun. We bought our own projector so the projector screen was amazing. There was WiFi. Everything about this place was peaceful and worth it.
