Terra Vivus is Latin for "The Earth is alive." Welcome to a great balance of being away from civilization, engulfed in nature with peace and quiet yet also being 10 minutes away from the nearest market and 30 minutes away from the nearest city. Chipmunks, crows, doves, crickets, coyotes, sparrows and many other creatures call this land home. This is protected land called a Significant Ecological Area mostly because of the thousands of Joshua Trees. Send a photo/video of you sharing your water with the plants at terra.vivus.inquiries@gmail.com and receive $3 off your stay. 25% of all revenue goes to restoring, preserving and enhancing the existing ecosystem. Come experience and contribute to the preservation of this beautiful landscape. It can be windy at times, in order to mitigate this I recommend using your car(s) to block the wind. Local markets also sell neck gaiters for face protection. I also have pieces of plywood with bricks that you're welcome to move and shift to fit your needs. I am in the process of building a tree/shrub wind block. There's about .4 miles of dirt road to get to the property, there are some dips to watch out for but I come out here in a little Prius so it's manageable. Overall, there is an element of seclusion but occasionally people do drive by on the dirt road. I would rate the cell phone service a 7/10, it's pretty solid but can go out at times.

93% (21)

RV/tent site · Sleeps 4 · Vehicles under 10 m

25% of all proceeds go towards restoring, preserving and enhancing the existing ecosystem as well as creating a tree/shrub wind-block. This site includes a fire pit and picnic table. When you drive onto the property, this site will be on the right hand side at the end of the tire tracks. If you would like the entire property to yourself, please let me know and select the option as an add on feature. I will block the other sites if possible or refund you if a request has already come through for the other site. Feel free to park anywhere that seems convenient for you. As a courtesy, I usually let all groups know about each other but do not share personal information. A good amount of seclusion in the general vicinity but every once in awhile someone might drive by on the dirt road. I've camped out here over 20 times and never had an issue with safety. I would rate cell service at an 7/10. The Hipcamp coordinates will take you to the driveway with the Terra Vivus sign. The perimeter is along the two dirt roads. You can walk along the dirt road and explore more of the area but off the dirt road are other peoples properties. The outhouse is the SW corner of the property. It can be windy at times so you'll want to anchor your tents or use your car to block the wind from the fire pit or tent. You can buy a neck gaiter for face protection at local markets in the area. I also have bricks and plywood you can move and shift to fit your needs. Please be mindful and courteous to all other living creatures and plants in the area. This is their home.

#2: Picnic Table-Fire Pit-Hex Blok

The host is very nice, and a quick responder! 5/5 customer service. This spot didn’t meet our expectations but I don’t think it’s the hosts fault! For us it was way too windy, and in our mind this was a way more private / secluded as the other camp spot is pretty close. Also the power lines were a bit of an eye sore and we didn’t really like the pit for fire. Again, what you see in the photos is what you get. Wasn’t for us, but honestly you might love it!

Despite the wind and rain, this campsite offered such a healing experience. The upgraded windbreak for our tent made the site feel even more comfortable and enjoyable.
