I booked this place for my wife and I, we were not able to find it, so we called Ryan cell phone and it was somebody else’s cell phone, so we had to book another place! The last post was for this place was back in April, I am dissipated with Hipcamp to not do a true back ground check to have this on their app.

Amazing campsite!! You’ll have privacy, the best views in CA, an amazing night sky and maybe the best pizza on the West Coast. Ryon did a great job at making sure we had everything needed for our stay. If you’re looking for a great camping retreat, this site is for you.

Nice place to camp, it strikes the perfect balance of being near yet remote. I’m looking forward to my next visit. I definitely will reserve a night to enjoy Ryon’s pizza. I’ll be booking again soon.

Great site with shower, nice restroom, and private lot! Had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend
For those above 5’ 8” be very careful! There is a structure blocking the wind with a beam extending outwards from it. 4 of the 4 campers hit their head with force on this beam leaving multiple bruises and bumps!!!
Amazing stay despite the head injuries

Ryon was a great host. Made sure we had everything we needed, answered questions regarding the shower and the pizza was great. Close enough to town but far enough away for great stargazing.
Would definitely return.

Ryon's location was perfectly peaceful. I enjoyed being located outside of town in the dark and quiet of Ryon's property. His dogs are very sweet, they greeted me and my dog each time we came back "home". Camp A looks out toward the open land at the east. The drive to town is not super short, but not long by any means. Ryon was very kind and helpful.
Lastly, eat his pizza. It's absolutely delicious.

We had a good time. We got to Joshua tree a little later than expected so we managed in the dark. The site had a nice little wall with a table that worked well for our campervan. Hopefully we can return another time.

Super chill spot, made extra nice with twinkle lights, a dining table, plus hay bales and tables around the campfire! Wow! Perfect for our escape from the rain.

Camping at Ryon's campsite is always a pleasure. Ryon is a very gracious host and makes the best pizza. The dogs are friendly and the sites are dispersed better than campsites in the park. Highly recommend

Super friendly camp host with the BEST pizza ever. Ryon went above and beyond for my daughter's 12th birthday. We will recommend this spot to friends and come back again!

We loved camping on Ryon's property near Joshua Tree this last weekend. Ryon was an exceptional host, very attentive and hospitable. The views of the mountains, sunrise, the moon were epic. The sites are spaced out. We stayed in site A near the bathroom. There's a composting toilet and outdoor shower with hot water. His dogs are super friendly. Definitely get pizza. We got a pizza salad and fried mozzarella sticks, all made from scratch. So delicious! We would definitely stay here again
Highly recommend staying here. FYI The paved road ends and you are driving on a sandy rutted road the last 1.5 mile.

Great experience - Ryon was very personable and has sweet piece of land in JT. He had everything we needed and made us a killer pizza pie!

We loved staying with Ryon and Valerie. The pizza and customer service was top notch. We felt very welcome there and they made sure we were comfortable. Their dogs are super friendly also a fun feature! They provided fire wood for us and while we didn’t take advantage of the outdoor bed for star gazing, it was an amazing feature!

Beautiful desert site, quiet,dark, and the best pizza anywhere. Host (Val) and volunteer staff made our stay the best. Very responsive and genuine people. Ryon may be listed as host and he’s likely great, but Val is the best 😂
It’s a bit rugged getting there, but you’ll not find a better experience than here.

We got in late, and Ryon and his family were outside to welcome us. My son enjoyed petting Ryon's dogs, which run around and chase off coyotes (which made me feel safer). We'd ordered the pizza dinner, which was really delicious and more than enough food. We were glad we got it despite it being pricier than what we'd normally spend on pizza. We enjoyed chatting with Ryon while we ate, and he provided wood for a campfire, as well helpfully loaned my husband a tool to fix our trailer hitch. Since we got in late and had to leave before checkout, we didn't really get to explore or check out the place. Of note: While the listing says the sites have power, Ryon warned us prior to booking he wasn't sure if it would be available (we appreciated the heads-up). After dinner, he went inside and said he'd check on power for us; we didn't hear from him again or get a response to our text. My husband ended up hooking our trailer up to an outdoor outlet on Ryon's house; Ryon appeared cool with it the next morning. Also, while it says a picnic table is available, there was only one very small table and one chair at our site. Not sure if there was something bigger elsewhere, but fortunately, we'd brought a travel table and camp chairs. Last 1.3 miles to get there is a sandy washboard road. It was fine in the dry weather, just slow-going. The overall experience felt like boondocking, but more expensive with good food, hospitality, a little more safety. Thumbs up!

Stayed for a night and it was so much more than we expected! Easy to find and such a cute and nice peaceful spot to spend a night. Ryon was an amazing host and communicated very well, answered our questions and even told us a little about how vagabond jubilee started. And DO NOT… I repeat.. DO NOT leave there without ordering the pizza meal! The salad, garlic knots and ginormous pizza was chef’s kiss! Thank you Ryon for making my bday, my husband’s Father’s Day weekend and our little one’s first camping experience nothing short of amazing!

Never met someone with the same kindness and the level of greetings Ryon showed us when we start pulling to the spot to the end of our camping.
Beside he a nice land to do Stargazing his pizza and garlic bread are bomb! Camping, campfire, stargazing and pizza is my favorite combination so far.

I absolutely loved staying at Ryon’s site. For starters, Ryon & Val were so sweet checking in through our drive out to JT, setting a time for our pizza experience and recommending sites to see en route. The land is beautiful, and they have great amenities on-site. They and their guests were so welcoming and fun to spend time with (including a 5-year-old’s surprise birthday party), and Ryon makes the BEST pizza + dessert empanadas I’ve ever had. We were also pleasantly surprised to see the Milky Way at night - absolutely breathtaking - and Ryon stayed up with us to stargaze through our telescope and swap fun stories. The freshly-filled cowboy tub was also an unexpected highlight - my camping standards have been set a notch higher. Thank you Ryon + Val for an unforgettable stay, can’t wait to come back!!

Ryon was an excellent host! I only have great things to say about the whole experience. The property was nice and the sunset/night sky were beautiful. We enjoyed celebrating my little sisters birthday and Ryon made it extra special! Also thanks for the big rock recommendation, Ryon!

We had a great stay at Vagabond Jubilee! Ryon was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and is an amazing chef! Hands down the best garlic knots I have ever had (my mouth waters just thinking about them). It was really awesome being able to come back to the campsite and know there is warm, delicious food waiting for you. Additionally, the outhouse was clean and the other campsite campers were considerate. We would definitely come back /recommend it to others

Where do I start? We had an amazing time camping on Ryon’s land. The sunrise and sunset were exquisite, with a telescope for star gazing! It’s a quick easy drive into Joshua Tree park for the day. And both nights we had amazing sunset pizza dinners, Ryon seriously makes one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. He offered a pizza making class, even letting our two little boys make their own! His partner Val was warm and welcoming, teaching us all about wildlife and making us feel right at home. We hope to stay again, thank you so much Ryon and Val!!

When booking this location all I knew was that it was close to the Joshua Tree entrance, had a pit toilet, and offered pizza, served tent side. What we got for our friend's birthday weekend was an awesome time in the desert, with nicely kept grounds, beautiful views of the desert, and the best darn pizza I think I ever had.
I would also like to take a moment to give the host Ryon a shoutout for excellent customer service, from the moment I booked, Ryon was on top of it all, with clear instructions for arrival and check-in to see if there was anything that he could do for us. When I told him that it was our friend's birthday, he even surprised us with a cheesecake for him! We really felt like his guests, and the tea that he brought us after a hard day of climbing just sealed the deal, and proves the thoughtfulness that he puts into his work.
Overall, this place is great for those looking to stay near the park and support a local business. We had a ton of fun, felt safe, and really enjoyed our stay. This will definitely not be our last trip to Vagabond Jubilee.

Wow, what an amazing camping experience! Our group was greeted by super sweet dogs, and had plenty of room at our camp spot. Ryon is very communicative, friendly, and a true delight. The pizza experience from the food truck was wonderful. We enjoyed salad, garlic knots and a large pizza. Everything was delicious and very fresh. There’s an outdoor toilet onsite, which is clean and convenient. Definitely recommend coming here, and hope to come back soon!

Desert landscape with great star gazing! Accessible by 2WD, great location! Close to JT National Park. Val was friendly and hilarious! She made us feel like family! She went the extra mile and made our girls feel super special, providing nice activities for them to do. We had a memorable time creating our own dessert pizza in their food truck. We’re already planning our next visit back! Thanks Ryon and Val!

Where do we start? Ryon was incredibly accommodating with timing as we arrived later in the evening, and helped us with the RV set up since it was our first RV experience. The space is so beautiful and creative, gorgeous landscape all around, the sunset and sunrise were special, the night sky was crispy clear! To add to all of this, he makes amazing pizza in his food truck, we had the privilege to enjoy an amazing meal there, so please do not leave without trying it! Unforgettable experience!
