Stayed here during the Flower Moon and had one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve ever had. This is more of a true desert / boondocking-style experience - land, space, sky, and silence - which was exactly what I was looking for. The campsite was spacious with plenty of different spots to choose from, each feeling private and open in its own way. There were beautiful views in every direction, Joshua trees scattered throughout the landscape, and quiet trails to explore.
What stood out most to me was the silence. The desert felt peaceful, grounding, and incredibly expansive. I felt very safe throughout my stay, even camping solo.
The host was also wonderful - very kind, helpful, and prompt with communication, which made the whole experience feel even more comfortable and welcoming.
The only advice id give is: come prepared for wind. The desert can really move at night. But honestly, it became part of the experience.
I’ll absolutely be back. 🏜️

This is a really beautiful place to camp. The property is surrounded by mountains, and there are lots of trails to walk, with Joshua Trees and other cool desert plants. It's very quiet - I didn't see a single car drive by while I was here! The dirt road to get here is a little bumpy, but not bad at all. I definitely recommend staying here, and it's a really peaceful campsite!

Beautiful land with peaceful surroundings. Landlord is great and easy to talk to. If you’re looking for an affordable place to live off-grid style then this is for you.
