Super cute space! Plenty of room for my dogs to run around and the trailer was surprisingly spacious. Didn’t get to take advantage of the fire pit or solar shower due to high winds and chilly weather but would definitely revisit in warmer months! Great alternative to tent camping at an awesome price.

1 night at The Sunrise Sanctuary
The place was simple and easy to find. Basic set up and not much else needed for a 1 night stay in Joshua Tree. Only thing I would hope to see in the future is more of a sturdy lock on the door. As of right now it is just the door knob lock and hook that goes into a latch. Something more secure would have made having that peace of mind nice. Overall, an easy stay!

This is a great place to rest right next to the park. Stayed here for the night while on a roadtrip and they had all the necessities. Would stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Scorpion Ranch
We booked this spot last minute to have a nice quiet relaxing night before making our way to Palm Springs. This location is funky as heck! The trailer is bigger on the inside and the bed is pretty comfy. We loved playing with their dog, and chilling on the little patio. Thanks for having us Harlan!

Beautiful open land with gorgeous sunsets and stargazing. There are other trailers in the same vicinity, but they are far enough away that you basically have the space to yourself. We brought a propane fire pit to use, but there is a large private fire pit provided if you have room to bring firewood. Also a basic outdoor kitchen area with running water, soap, cast iron, dishes and silverware, propane outdoor stove, and shower area (complete with propane) which I did not get a chance to use. Amazing vibes all around. It got chilly at night, but there were plenty of blankets and pillows provided along with a small propane heater for use inside the truck. Be sure you are close with who you are camping with as the composting toilet (bucket with wood chips and a toilet seat) is on the deck next to the entrance to the truck, but who’s watching?! 💁♀️

Weekend Trip to The Sunrise Sanctuary
Was great for a brief little getaway from the city, although, maybe some more work into the place and its amenities would be great (a working shower and a more comfortable toileting situation, along with some dishes and silverware available for guests). Besides that, it’s a nice spot with some peace and quiet, and that really can’t beat the price point for this glamp spot! The owner was very nice and helpful with instructions and even allowing me to check-in a bit later than I had initially anticipated.
Hope this feedback wasn’t taken personally. It was great besides those minor challenges I experienced. That being said, I would definitely stay here again! Thank you again, Amy!

Weekend Trip to Scorpion Ranch
This is the cutest little camper! Cosy and vintage, if you like rustic this is for you. The toilet is an outhouse and the shower is outdoors, so you must be ok with roughing it. We used the hot tub, the pool was too cold for early March. This is a quiet and peaceful spot, nothing glamorous about it!

This trip was everything I needed and more. I even managed to record a full spiritual class while I was there! The only challenge was the desert winds—I wasn’t used to them. But overall, this place is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend visiting!

Weekend Trip to NowHere Drive Inn
My goodness did this place deliver above and beyond my already high expectations. This was a surprise getaway for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was more than perfect. He said this was the best birthday he’s ever had.
This place was the perfect balance of rustic and comfort. Our host Moira definitely did her due diligence providing us with a variety helpful tools. There was even a portable generator in case you might be worried about charging things. One thing worth mentioning is the bathroom situation. There is no plumbing system, but they do provide dry toilet with sawdust to add into it. Was not a problem for us but it would be good to consider if that is something you would be comfortable with. With that being said, we would definitely come back and stay longer and recommend it as well.
Thank you Moira for create such a great place and sharing it with all of us.

Windy’s spot was such a great site to call base during the holiday weekend. Very cozy and romantic. Plenty of blankets were provided so did not get cold at all during our stay! Special touches/details throughout the property made exploring so fun and whimsical!

Peaceful location . Close enough to supplies but far enough away to enjoy the solitude. Bare bones set up . Well worth the cost . Thank you Amy . Great sky photos.

We stayed here for just 1 night because all the campsites were already reserved. It was just as described and as in photos. I feel like it was fairly priced.

We loved staying here! It ended up raining and snowing the night we stayed, so we were very thankful to have this lovely trailer to rest in for the night. Had everything we needed and some! Would definitely stay here again.

One of the best stays I've had in Joshua Tree! There were plenty of amenities for us, and the kitchen and cookware were a huge plus as we forgot some of our own things during our last-minute packing.
The groundskeeper was helpful and attentive, and Windy was quick to respond to our questions as well! Thanks so much.

Overview
What do Black Rock, White Tank, Indian Cove, and Jumbo Rocks have in common? They’re all stellar campgrounds beneath the starry night sky in Joshua Tree National Park. (Well, there’s Ryan and Belle campground too, but that didn’t flow as well.)
This magnificent patch of Southern California desert has its main entrance in Twentynine Palms. The 800,000-acre Joshua Tree makes it easy for campers to explore the vast, boulder-laden land. It offers nine campgrounds and nearly 500 sites, all with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Half are first-come, first-served, half are reservation only.
If it’s solitude you seek, pitch your tent beneath the massive boulder formations at Belle Campground. With just 18 sites, it’s one of the smaller campgrounds here. Title of smallest goes to White Tank Campground with 15 sites. White Tank puts you next to the 0.5-mile Arch Rock Nature Trail for some easy hiking and wildflower viewing.
Rock climbers hang out at the in-demand, 44-site Hidden Valley campground. Its close proximity to the otherworldly Wonderland of Rocks makes this a difficult campground to score. The 99-site Black Rock campground owes its popularity to the rare presence of running water. If you need flush toilets and some especially dramatic Joshua trees to admire, sleep here.
Summers are brutally hot, and winters can be freezing here. Prime Joshua Tree camping months are March, April, October, and November. Bring your own water and firewood (and a horse if you’re headed to Black Rock and Ryan Campgrounds.)
