Enjoyed camping here
We enjoyed camping on this land. The shade structure was lovely and the views were great. It was nice to take a hot shower after a few days in Joshua Tree, I enjoyed it being outside and it still felt pretty private with 3 walls and bushes on the open side, although some instructions on how to use the shower would be helpful since it’s a propane one and most folks are not familiar with those. The lights around the property at night were pretty as well. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. Our dogs had a fun time too.

Had an amazing time camping here! The site is clean, well maintained, and overall beautiful! We stayed in campsite 2 and had plenty of space. It was a little windy, but the pergola was perfect to protect us from the gusts and sun. The water was easily accessible and the flushable toilets and hot shower definitely elevated our camping experience! The pool and deck were also a fun amenity. The fire pits at night were great to stay warm while getting a nice view of the stars.
Ryan and Luke were such friendly hosts and responded to any questions we had immediately. We plan on coming back to enjoy the nice oasis they created!

Regal stay at the castles!
Had a great time! The castles are amazing - there is a small dipping pool, a sauna, fire pits, and close to plenty of the hiking trails in Joshua tree. Definitely a great spot to hang for a weekend.

Nice place,but hard to find amenity
The estate was nice, but access to the amenities such as restrooms, shower, and trash can etc. was a bit difficult.
My bf and I arrived late in the evening and that day was cold and windy. It was somewhat dark, but there were lights around the area. On that note, it was no where easy to locate the areas mentioned. Based on the list of the estate’s rules, certain things like restrooms were not where it was stated, shower was not working, and trash can was out in the corner of a parking lot which was hard to find (i had to ask the owner where it was later). I had to ask a fellow camper where the bathrooms are since there were no signs. I did ask the owner of where the trash can was and let him know that the shower was not working.
I was really looking forward and excited for this place, however, i was disappointed.
Overall, i hope there were visible signs and clear written instructions to access the amenities.

Sunset Beauty and Dark Sky Gazing!
We had a lovely time in this very unique setting just outside of Joshua Tree. The playful property includes the cozy yurts, Castle structures, outdoor shower and RV pads that include a cozy outdoor shade cover and fire pits. We were enchanted with the environment and found ourselves truly loving the dark sky at night!

COZY CAMPING
A MUST DO!!! I loved van camping on this peaceful aesthetically beautiful desert 🏜 property! I arrived on a Saturday night to escape the city for a few days of “soul care” and digital detox it was PURE PERFECTION!! I was greeted upon arrival and directed to Campsite #1 which had nice views of the palm tree entrance, container house and yurts! The Castle is up front but the spacing and privacy was just right. Too cool for the pool as it’s January and 60 outside. I enjoyed walking around the property which is gated and very secure. The menu (yes, they have a menu) had tasty food and beverages, s’mores kits as well as other camp gear you may have left home without or didn’t know you would need like heaters, electric blankets, firewood etc…. They got you COVERED for a small price. I truly enjoyed my stay here while I explored Joshua Tree and practiced Silence and Solituuuuude!! GREAT REFRESH -HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Coming back with family soon….Thanks Ryan for your hospitality-it elevated the experience! ♥️

Beautiful place and great location. About 10-15 minutes away from the entrance to Joshua Tree and local restaurants. The room had a heating and a/c system for the bedroom area. The rooftop was magical! It’s secluded away from even the closest neighbors and really highlights the beautiful stars at night!
There are little water spouts throughout the location. The bathroom was clean. The shower had hot water, shower gel, shampoo and all.
Overall, a great place to book if you want to be comfortable after a long day of exploring but still want the camp vibes.

Shipping Container Tiny Home w Pool
Super Zen Glamping
We stayed in the container tiny home and it was amazing! It was super clean and came with everything we needed. The decor was super cute as well! The property was nicely maintained, you can tell they put care into making sure everything was tidy. In general, the overall aesthetic was very zen and we ended having the most relaxing stay! Not to mention, the host was super welcoming and accommodating!

Guard Tower Suite #1 with Pool
This was hands down my favorite place I’ve ever stayed. This property is absolutely beautiful and an incredible experience. It’s well thought out and really well planned. There is a sense of privacy with the glampsites spread out, but also a fun community feel. I came alone and ended up around a campfire trading stories with my wonderful neighbors. If you wanted to hang out alone or stay in just your group its a great place for that too. The hosts were attentive, kind, and make you feel welcome and cared for. The bathrooms were very clean. The sauna is an absolute treat and the outdoor shower was refreshing after the sweat sesh. The Tower is amazingly designed and has a minimalist feel but with all the perks of glamping- lighting, outlets to charge devices, wifi, fridge, coffee maker, and a heater upstairs in the bedroom. Its also close to the bathroom, shower, and sauna. They also have room service and the food is soooo good including homemade lemon marshmallows in their smores kit! The campfire is also a wonderful touch with the chairs and table. I will definitely be coming back and highly suggest this incredible place! Thank you for a wonderful lifelong memory :)

Easy Winter Camping Trip!
Great place to get away and relax! Our family of 4 camped for 4 nights between Christmas and New Years. Warm days, chilly nights and chilly mornings, with a little bit of rain and wind. (The desert does have “winter” weather!) No hookups are provided, but we had enough of our own water in our tanks, propane, and our generator. Bathrooms are a deluxe port-a-potty trailer at one corner of the property. Lots of space between spots, nice pergola, and a big fire pit. We visited Joshua Tree National Park for 2 days and the Palm Springs Tram 1 day and still had lots of time to just “hang out” and have quality family time. The only thing we found missing was a picnic table. I already knew this and brought lap trays to eat off of and our own foldable tables to prep food and cook on. Overall, another great HipCamp experience that is far superior to “regular” campgrounds.

Camping under the stars
Spectacularly amazing to stargaze. The site layout is as beautiful as the mountains it surrounds. Its simply obvious how much effort Luke and Ryan have put into the property.
If any aussies are looking for a place to camp in Joshua tree region, I highly recommend this property

The property is well maintained and has plenty of space to feel a sense of privacy. Ryan and Luke were very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable. The property is close enough to drive to JT for daily hikes. Can’t wait to go back!

Okay, wouldn't recommend for price
This campsite was fine. We feel that it was oversold, and the price far exceeded the value of what was delivered.

Easy camping
Check in was easy. We had a tent camping spot. It was clean and the fire pit was nice. If you can’t get a spot in the park this was the next best thing.

We loved our experience here, it really had the 'wow' factor. Everything was set up beautifully for our arrival, and Ryan even greeted us as we pulled in. We rose early for a stunning sunrise (I imagine sunset would have been equally incredible). We toasted marshmallows and made smores by the fire, rested in our yurt and even took a dip in the (admittedly freezing) pool. This place is an absolute gem and it was one of the highlights of our trip from Australia to the US. The facilities were even nicer than expected and the location is perfect. Idyllic AF!
