Beautiful 5 acres of nothing but views. It's named "The Slab" simply because that's what my family has always called it. I am currently testing this as a place for campers, so please leave feedback so it can be improved. Eventually, there will be a picnic table setup for campers, and designated open spots for more vehicles to park/ flat spots for more tents. There is running water available on the slab but I am in the middle of figuring something out how campers can utilize it. Stay tuned! UFO Enthusiasts, Rock Climbers, Urban Explorers, Off-Roaders, Artists, Musicians, and all are welcomed! We are located 10 minutes from The Integratron, 25 minutes from Giant Rock, Joshua Tree National Park, and 40 minutes from Johnson Valley. Halliday's liquor store is 10 minutes, with $5 pizza place (delicious!) / gas station 15 minutes away. There is even a nearby Landers thrift store and La Copine restaurant. Shooting area about 15 minutes away. I can list SO much more, but I'll let you come explore the hidden gems Landers has to offer. There is a firepit set up onsite for your convenience. Feel free to reach out to me for any other questions or recommendations you may need to ensure you have a great stay. Come soak up the sunshine and enjoy the quiet beautiful starry nights at The Slab. Don't be afraid of getting a lil dusty on your journey!Beautiful 5 acres of nothing but views.

Loved the spot for sunrise and sunset. Far enough away but not a far drive to Joshua Tree. Def would stay here again. Beware the way you head in. The further you get from Joshua tree proper the worse the roads get. Google took me a gnarly way with 2.5 miles of washboards. Take Birdie and Reche. Still some sand and washboards but not nearly as much as the other route. If you have a fun vehicle then pick whatever route and have fun. But not good for a converted van to be shaking it that bad.

Good little spot to disconnect for a weekend. The slab was much closer to neighbors than I would have anticipated (probably 200 yards away), but it was fine. There was already a large established rock fire pit close to the slab. I suggest walking the perimeter of the slab before you pull on to it. Looks there was a structure at one point and has anchors that are sticking out of the concrete. We marked them with rocks and it was a nonissue after that. If you have little ones just watch out for the boards with nails that are still attached to the slab. With all of that said, we’d definitely come back.

Such a beautiful spot in the desert to wake up to! The sunsets were stunning and the view of the night sky is unmatched. It’s also relatively isolated but not completely cut off from people, so we felt safe. Would definitely recommend, but be careful of the wind! It can knock over your tent if you don’t weigh it down enough. We can’t wait to come back next time we’re at Joshua Tree.

Great quiet spot! Awesome for stargazing. I went in early May so the temperature was around upper 70s during the day, 50s at night.

Wonderful evening camping at Sherry’s property. It was easy to get to, quiet, and I felt safe as a solo traveler. Will definitely stay again next time I’m in the area!
