Finding Ground RV Camping

Joshua Tree National Park and it's surrounding area is Wild , Beautiful, and has spectacular Sunsets.

I live in a very quiet, rural,  neigborhood. This serene location offers endless panoramic views across the high desert, from Sand to Snow. Sunsets can be extraordinary. The night scenes are spectacular in a full moon. Hiking and walking trails abound. It is located 6.9 miles from the vehicle entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. If you are hikers you can enter the park half a mile from my property. The village of Joshua Tree is close by. There is water and a septic hook up at the site. The driveway  circles the house so you can back in or pull into and out of the RV space easily. The RV space is 60' x18'. It is flat. There is room for RV slides and outside furniture. 

The street leading to my property is paved. My driveway and your space is gravel. So be sure your vehecles have  4wheel drive and can traverse gravel without a problem.  I live in a small house about 30 yards from your parking spot. My lot is over 2 acres. You need to supply your own  electric. You can run a generator at most day times.  No charcoal grills or camp fires are allowed due to desert conditions. Adults may use  a propane grill or firepit as long as it is not left unattended when on. 

FIRE PITS are allowed if they are propane with a screen on top. You may not leave a fire pit unattended. It is quite windy here. A stray spark can cause a rapid fire. Dry Desert material may land on top of a sceen at any time starting a fire. 

There is good reception for Att and Verizon cellular phones. I am unable to provide internet at the RV space.

This invitation is for self-contained RVs, Travel trailers, or Vans with a bathroom. There is space for tent camping if accompanied by an RV. Campers must use the RV Bathroom. There is a $10 charge per night per tent. Dogs are welcome with an additional $7 per night, per dog. If you have  more than one vehicle there is an additional $10 dollar charge per night.

There is a reduced fee for campers who stay 7 days or longer. You may text or email with any questions. Thanks for looking. Susan

Thank you, Susan
