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!

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.

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.”

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!

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.

Incredible location and accommodations. Extremely well appointed and maintained. It does get cold in the night but the heater worked perfectly. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Perfect place for getaway. Very clean and beautiful place to spend time with family and friends. We’ve been here twice in a month and plan to come again very soon. It’s super private! Our dogs enjoyed the stay so much, this is their favorite place to explore around. Beautiful sceneries all around. Thank you Anita 👍🏻

Hilltop Dome Pool Joshua Tree Vibes
Anita’s spot is awesome! It is super private with rocks to climb that go on forever. Inside the dome is super comfy and the outside is really cute. It went down into the mid thirties at night but we were toasty warm inside with the propane heater. Communication with Anita was quick and easy. The pool was closed while we were there (which was fine since it was chilly) so I cannot speak for that and we did not use the shower but everything else worked out great! Thank you Anita for having us!

We had a blast staying here! Such a beautiful location. We had forgotten to bring our own portable speaker but there was one inside the dome so that was perfect! Definitely want to come back during a warmer season so we could take advantage of the cowboy pool. It got pretty cold and windy early on in the day but very cozy inside the dome. Anita was very responsive when we accidentally entered the campsite from the wrong direction and needed guidance (whoops!). The only thing I didn’t expect were the surveillance cameras around the site (obviously there for security but did feel slightly off-putting since it felt like someone was watching) Other than that we had a great time and would definitely come back!

Unique 21st Birthday Camping Trip
Group trip ·
Hilltop Dome Pool Joshua Tree Vibes
We chose this location to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday in a special way, and it turned into a cherished memory for our entire family. As we're not seasoned campers and lack the experience to manage everything on our own, this place was a perfect match for our needs and exceeded our expectations.
The journey to the site involves a dirt road, which, far from being a drawback, only heightened our anticipation. Upon arrival, the views were breathtaking. The distant hills, adorned with stones, were impressive from afar, but their beauty was magnified up close, especially from the hilltop.
The dome is another highlight of this location. Offering protection and a unique experience, it was especially welcome given the chilly and windy nights of early March. Although it felt a tad small for six adults, lacking sufficient bedding, it was still far more comfortable than a traditional tent.
Cooking on the gas grill and roasting marshmallows over the campfire added to our enjoyment. Our host was exceptionally responsive to all our questions and provided clear instructions. Despite her offer for us to arrive early, our planning didn't allow for it. I highly recommend arriving earlier in the day to explore the surroundings through short hikes, particularly if your stay is limited to one day. This ensures you make the most of the daylight.
Overall, it was an incredible experience for our family, who had no prior outdoor experience.

This place was magical, great view of the snowy San Gabriel mountains, plenty of space to roam and rocks to climb. We will definitely be back and recommending to our friends and family. The space was super cute and had everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. This was my first glamping experience and I absolutely loved it. Anita was super responsive and accommodating.

Stayed here for a night with my room mates and honestly wished we would’ve stayed longer. Private camp ground with more space than you anticipate. Very quiet with lots of scenery. Anita was VERY responsible for anything that I needed to know as well as answering any questions we had. Nice little propane fire fit, grill and bar seating outside, and the yurt was great! Heater inside was a great and the projector inside was a nice touch as well. Would definitely come back here again with more friends.

Definitely surprised my Sister for her Birthday. She really did think we are going dry camping. Little did she know...glamping in a beautiful setting and view. One of the most unusual one and one of a kind. The Geodome is nice and cozy (although the heater stopped working & ran out of propane the first night. We had to change it out ourselves.) and get the entire space to yourself (best of all). We enjoyed it so much! We rebook it for New Year 2024. What a way to start of the year!

Had a great stay at the Hilltop Dome. The whole property was very well kept and the views were spectacular. It felt like we were the only people on earth as we had the whole area to ourselves. Can’t wait to stay here again!

The Hilltop Dome is a great spot! My wife and I were looking for a secluded glamping spot with amenities and this was the perfect place. Firepit was nice and in the dome, the swamp cooler and the heater worked well and kept the temp inside comfortable. Battery was great and powered my laptop and charged all our devices without issue. T-Mobile reception was great. Mini fridge was just big enough and bed was comfy with lots of blankets to keep warm.
Anita (host) was also very responsive and helpful whenever we had a question or any issues.
Few things to note: during our trip, the shower heater did not work so we were unable to shower in the evening because it was freezing cold. The host was responsive but unable to send maintanence prior to our departure. She did help make up for the inconvenience by allowing a late check out, which we appreciated. There were also a ton of bees during the day, mostly around the pool and some around the kitchen and bathroom. This was a non-issue by sunset.
Things I wish I knew: There's a roll up screen you can use a projector for! Would've brought one had I known.
Pool is not heated.
There's a wagon for use to haul gear up and down.
The unimproved dirt roads to the site are pretty bumpy. I was nervous in my Model S but grateful I had AWD and air suspension to mitigate issues from uneven road. Definitely would not recommend going in a lower vehicle. Non-AWD is probably ok, but I'd be more careful. Definitely would not attempt in darkness.

We had an amazing glapming experience! Anita’s Hilltop Dome Pool Joshua Tree Vibes was fabulous. Beautiful setting, breathtaking camp site. The Geo dome is very luxurious, very pampering, nicely furnished and fully equipped for comfortable accommodations. The outdoor bar/kitchen was very impressive and we cooked whole meals on the state of the art grill. The bathroom, which is located outside the dome, was very convenient to use and was well supplied with pampering towels, amazing shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. We enjoyed preparing s’mores on the fire pit, while taking in the views and the ambiance. Our hostess Anita was very accommodating and responded instantly to all our inquiries, before and during our stay. We highly recommend visiting this Glamping site

Overall a great glamping experience. Awesome amenities, beautiful views.
Our only criticism of this place - the water in the bathroom sink ran out our first night there after only 3 uses, and we used it VERY sparingly. It must not have been filled prior to our arrival, and while we did bring drinking water, we weren’t prepared to have to provide water for hand washing etc.
Highly recommend staying here for a nice getaway from the city.

I proposed here. It was perfect and intimate. The site is beautiful and quaint. Though it gets hot during certain times, there is plenty of shade to stay cool. Anita is so sweet and very reliable. She is an excellent communicator and made our stay even better. Highly recommend. Everything was perfect and we plan on coming back.

This is such an amazing setup. The solar lights that twinkle once the sun sets was so perfect. Anita has everything so well maintained and even had board games for the kids. The BBQ/kitchen was so cute and very functional.
I highly recommend for families that want to try it out for a night or two. My boys completely disconnected from tech and didn’t want to leave.

This was an incredible experience!! Anita was so responsive and her property is absolutely beautiful!! There was so much thought put into this space, it was so convenient to show up and enjoy all the amenities. Living busy lives we wanted a “camping-ish” experience without having to pack the world. We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed the sunset and morning views. It was quite the experience, we’ll definitely be back!
