Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
The Retreat Juniper Tent/Van sites sit at the base of Green's Mountain nestled among the Junipers and Pinion pines. You will stay just outside the entrance to the City of Rocks National Reserve off the road that connects it to Castle Rocks State Park. Enjoy all the fun of camping under the stars with an amazing secluded location at the entrance to the City of Rocks. Enjoy Rock Climbing, Bouldering, Hiking, Biking, Fishing, and Hot Springs, all within a 5 minute drive! The Park is full all summer but you will have your own quiet base camp 2 minutes away.  Sit around the fire pit at night and gaze at the amazing star filled sky. Sites 8, 9, and 10 are all in the same private forested area and great for groups but still separated for plenty of privacy. Each site has a level tent pad, parking area for a car or van (car/van camping ok), and access to potable water, bathrooms, and garbage. We have now added a 15amp plug to each site to provide power for things like phone and laptop charging, air pump, medical devices, or other basics at no charge. Camper vans, or other vehicles that want to plug in to the power will need to pay an additional $5/day electric fee. No EV charging. Parking is allowed right at camp but no vehicles bigger than a van (20ft), and no trailers. No mosquitos here! PET FRIENDLY! This land has been in our family over 100 years. The Retreat has the closest campsites to the City of Rocks.

      Site 10 Juniper Tent/Van sites
      Prefect camping getaway
      I camped here in June and again in October and both times have been wonderful. Even with neighbors at the other sites it felt secluded and safe. Wildlife was abundant and the views and close proximity City of Rocks and Castle Rocks were was perfect. The toilet is the nicest pit toilet I’ve even seen! And me and my grow campers (and dogs) had a perfect weekend. Thank you and I can’t wait to come back!

      This is a beautiful location and it’s so close to Castle Rocks it may as well be in the park. The outdoor shower is super cute!

      A Must Stay-You'll love it!
      Excellent tent/car camping site. Nice privacy with all the Juniper trees. Nice hosts who provide creative basic amenities such as 20A power outlet, water, toilet, and there's a new shower stall. It's has a limited warm water supply so only 5 minutes but it's enough if your quick and careful. Also, read the directions Ross gives; DON'T trust GPS. Google, etc will take you down several miles of dirt roads because they are technically shorter. However, Ross' directions will take you on a slightly longer route but on paved roads but for the last couple miles. His directions are faster and safer. Ross came by to answer questions and gave me an info sheet of the area resources. (Thanks much, Ross!!) Tracy's has great Italian Sodas and free Wi-Fi. FYI: Absolutely, no cell coverage at the site. Excellent if you're looking to unplug. Highly recommended!
