High Desert Protocol was amazing!

Spartan Imperial Mansion Trailer

I loved staying on Tao's land. High Desert Protocol was so gorgeous, I couldn't believe the views when we pulled up. Definitely a drive up the dirt road! The hot tub, and swimming pool were amazing, and Tao was very helpful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The trailer was cozy and definitely an experience! So much glass and the views from inside at night with the moon were like I was on a different planet.

High Desert Protocol Camp

My sister and I had a great time tent camping on Tao’s land. The views were beautiful and the stargazing amazing. There was plenty of space to set up camp and we loved hiking the hill behind the property.

High Desert Protocol Camp

I loved the property and views but was a bit disappointed with the hot tub and the owners responsiveness. The hot tub was honestly the main draw and it never fully heated up during our stay. For the price this was a bit disappointing.

Pros: The atmosphere of this place is quite wonderful. The jacuzzi was amazing under the stars. The property is so aesthetically pleasing. Cons: The shower in the bathroom never got hot, Jacuzzi off in the morning, site was listed as full hook up but it wasn’t really. There wasn’t an open water supply, the Electric wasn’t RV compatible, it was a regular 20 volt which was ok we were fully sustained in our tiny RV. Overall I would give the experience a 8/10. It’s primitive and beautiful!
