This open camp tent area is owned by (and was/is built by) the former HGTV host of the show "Tiny House Builders". The site also houses a "wooden tent" or micro glamping pod named "The Little Lantern" (a second listing) that is fun to check out, take pix of, store gear in- the structures serve as windbreaks and shade walls for tent campers and you can hang out on the benches near them, use their fire pits, and so on. The owner is also the author of several design and budget-build/reuse books (the bestseller "Micro Shelters" and others). Decades back this land was the site of an old RV park, so we've been in the long process of cleaning it up and removing junk from some corners of the site- but a bit still remains (its NOT pristine- still in the works). As a result you'll find some cool, weird, and unusual detritus and salvage out here (but not so much close to the camp spots)- old car parts, industrial knobs and dials- feel free to explore. Camp at your own risk though if you wander off to check this stuff out. The immediate camping area is cleared/clean. This has made it a favorite spot for junk collectors and photographers (we've found everything from old coins, to actual silver, cool rocks/geodes, and vintage car parts). This place would also make for a great spot for video or fashion shoots (which aren't allowed unless you seek separate permission from us!). Its a dirt site, but easy to get into, easy to pull into and turn around in (even with an RV), and you basically have about 5 acres all to yourself in most cases. There is one other camp site on the property (two total- the little lantern, and the van area for tenting- they are separate and spread out). Note: As I'm not sure of the current hip camp/country standings (new vague rules), I had removed this listing/put it on "hold", but it keeps going live/not adjusting- for that reason I'm just going to keep it live and allow people to book/stay until things are figured out by hip camp (so as not to inconvenience anyone).

40 Acres Of Open Desert Oasis

45mi from Mojave Trails National Monument · 1 site · Tent, RV
40 acres of open desert above a water gully. Perfect for off-road vehicles and true off grid camping. The acreage is mostly untouched the only things on the property are two trailers with fences, a water tank and a dumpster. There are two small roads that cars can use but there is no paved spot to turn around so be ready to reverse, do a 8 point turn or off road through soft sand(experienced off roaders only-very soft sand you will get stuck if not careful). You can park on the roads or our single car parking spot by the dumpster to avoid getting stuck and RVs should stay by the entrance because there is more room to maneuver where the roads are connected. The property runs from the dumpster(entrance) to the bottom of the slope(there is a pink marker). Camp/off road anywhere in between but be wary of going off the roads because the sand is very soft and you will get stuck if you don’t have experience with this type of terrain or an improper vehicle. We have a picnic table and rock fire pit near the parking spot at the dumpster. This property is truly for off-grid campers, there are no facilities so bring every thing you need and enjoy the nature

Great site for star gazing and enjoying the night skies. Please be sure to carry plenty of water and avoid the sun during the day time. I recommend visiting the campsite during sunrise or sunset. Be sure to also fuel up before arriving. It’s not recommended using tents and be sure to stay hydrated. Some of the things you can do here. Exploring the Desert and Joshua Tree National Park: Hiking and rock climbing: Twentynine Palms is near the eastern entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, renowned for its hiking and rock climbing opportunities. Guests are near the park and can easily access these activities. Off-roading: Some Hipcamp properties offer access to off-roading trails in the desert. Guests at Vanishing Rock Ranch, for example, can explore the desert terrain on side-by-sides or dirt bikes. Stargazing: The clear desert skies provide excellent opportunities for stargazing. Some locations even offer telescopes for guests to use. Wildlife sightings: Guests can enjoy seeing desert wildlife like rabbits, coyotes, and birds. Visiting nearby attractions: Guests can easily visit attractions like the Sky's the Limit Observatory, Pappy and Harriet's, or the Integratron.
