Porte-Cochere in Joshua Tree
Perfect Joshua Tree spot!
The property was perfectly private and offered great amenities! Tons of room for people to sleep in the small cabin and also pitch a tent. There was a clean porta potty, sink, table and chairs. Jimbo was an awesome host who offered great hospitality

Porte-Cochere in Joshua Tree
Lovely spot near Joshua Tree NP
A great spot to stay near Joshua Tree! Very cute little cabin, and a really fun little spot. You can hear the highway from the site, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

The Desert Pensione Joshua Tree
The Desert Pensione is just the solitude I needed. Very off grid and completely unique space designed by Jimbo and Cheryl. It was truly a pleasure staying in this gem of a space and I hope to be back soon!

Porte-Cochere in Joshua Tree
Quaint and Comfortable Camping Set-
Really enjoyed our stay at Porte Cochere - it's a unique and artsy arrangement, with just the right amount of amenities to take some of the set-up work out of camping. The property was clean and ready for our arrival. The "bed shed" (as I named it) was not large, but we fit three people in using the platform for two and a single air mattress for the third person. We enjoyed having the storage shelf, side table, solar lighting/outlets and the sliding french doors. The sink/wash basin area was very convenient for cleaning up (ourselves and the dishes) and we hung potable shower bags on the large fence hooks that heated up really well with the desert day time heat. The porta potty is clean and close by. The owners are in the process of building a flush toilet for Porte Cochere and if it turns out as cute as the one constructed for The Penzione, it will be an added bonus. The fences that frame the site provide privacy and are a good wind break. The picnic table, wooden backed bench and campfire set-up/ring were all welcome spots to relax. We stretched a couple of light tarps to provide shade, hung our hammock and it felt like home. It's a quiet area and even with guests staying at the adjoining Pensione, we felt like we had a piece of the desert to ourselves. Cheryl and Jimbo were responsive and welcoming. They met us in town to guide us to the camp site and gave us a quick once over of how things worked. The property had a lot of personality and I would definitely go back. I would recommend going with a bigger group and renting both campsites. As many have described before, you are not far from the hwy but it is not an issue at all.

The Desert Pensione Joshua Tree
We loved staying at this gorgeous little camp! Cheryl and Jimbo were fantastic and friendly hosts and were helpful in making sure we arrived safely. Jimbo greeted us upon our arrival to show us around the camp. The views were beautiful, and the stargazing at night was stunning! This is a wonderful place to stay if you are hoping to explore Joshua Tree or if you want a cute place to get away.
