2 acres hosted by Paul And Priscilla D.
1 RV/tent site
Rancho Mama is owned by Paul and Pris and is a beautiful 2 acre property conveniently located near downtown Joshua Tree. Our property is a short drive to the West Entrance of the park. We have multiple campsites that are generously spaced to provide privacy and social distancing.
We take pride in our well manicured property and want it to be a relaxing experience for you. Rancho Mama has breathtaking views of the San Bernardino Mountain range and the surrounding desert. This is a great option for camping in a quiet and private area away from the crowded public camp grounds. Only natural desert and star filled night sky to see in every direction.

Upgrades coming soon: A 1964 vintage trailer will be listed shortly. Private dinner events hosted by Mucho Mucho Taco under the stars.

Food delivery onsite by Mucho! Mucho! Taco. Contact us for details.

*During this pandemic, in order to practice safe social distancing for our guests, Rancho Mama has limited their services to 1 campsite. Please understand that we are doing everything we can to ensure our guests have a clean and comfortable environment. We encourage you to do the same.
If this is your first time camping or you're an inexperienced camper, this is not the campsite for you. We have a beautiful property, please feel free to read below on how we're going to keep it that way.
Rancho Mama, is a beautiful natural landscaped property with cactus, brush and wildlife nestled in Joshua Tree.

We take pride in our well manicured property and want it to be a relaxing experience for everyone. Rancho Mama has breathtaking views of the San Bernardino Mountain range and the surrounding desert. This is a great option for experienced campers that understand how to plan their camping experience in a quiet and private desert environment away from the crowded public campgrounds. This is the open desert...so for the desert NEWBIES it gets Hot, Cold, Windy, Dry and Unpredictable at times. That's why we LOVE it! Please check the local weather forecast.

Out of an abundance of caution and safety for you and your fellow campers we only allow “Rancho Mama Approved” Clean, Green and Lo-Ember logs. They are available to purchase before your check in for only $12. Our fire bundle includes 2 fire logs that will burn for approximately 4-6 hours. Fires are ONLY allowed inside our chimineas due to the sensitive landscape. Fire logs should be purchased before arrival (it isn't available on site). To protect the vegetation, it's not okay to use fallen branches.
*Please pay attention to our fire restrictions. Our desert is very sensitive and we're always considering your safety and the safety of our desert landscape. Consider your skill level when maintaining a campfire. Let us know if you have any questions before you book your trip with us.
Leave only footprints and pack out what you packed in. Sorry, no parties allowed. It's simply a matter of impact, noise, treading lightly, respect for other campers, etc... This is private property and you are on it by permission. We want to keep your desert camping experience authentic and peaceful.

Local Happenings: JT village for shopping, JT Saloon for cowboys and cowgirls, Saturday Farmer's Market for fresh stuff, Natural Sisters Cafe (great for vegans), Art Queen for visual splendor, Joshua Tree Coffee Company (amazing cup of java), Sky Village Outdoor Marketplace in Yucca Valley (Saturday and Sundays) and Pioneertown isn't too far away.

While dogs are allowed, please keep them on a leash and refrain from unnecessary barking. We love your furry friends too, but consider others quiet time and they may not like wandering pooches. Note that the property is not fenced and the main highway is close by. You wouldn't want your dog running off. Please pick up after your dog.
***************************************
We apologize for the false advertising...Rancho Mama does not actually provide a Mother to make your campfire, pitch your tent, provide shade, pick up your dog poop, help you unlock a bathroom door, organize your recyclables, properly reverse out of a parking space or sing you a lullaby.
Happy camping! Thank you!
