Came here in my RV during their off-season to meet up with a friend and see a show at the venue nearby. There wasn't much to do besides the show but visit nearby restaurants and shops because it was too hot for hiking & the outdoor performances they apparently do around Oct-March. I didn't know it was off-season but it's totally fair they wouldn't want to perform in the summer heat! My chasse is maxed out so getting up to Pioneer Town in the RV was slow going on the steepest parts, but I'm sure it's doable for most RVs as long as you're not already overheating. I wish the host had let me know where to find him ahead of time (at the mercantile in Pioneer Town) and how to open the red gate. I eventually found the signs with vague arrows, but the red gate was closed and just looked like railing going down into the sand, so I did not know it could be lifted and confusedly walked all the way around the campsite fence to the movie set entrance. In addition to having a bunch of nice and clean portapoties there are 2 bathrooms with running water (no lights/electricity inside, street light outside) but for some reason the water was shut off sometime in the early morning, which was annoying but not the end of the world since I came prepared with plenty of water and was able to brush my teeth and wash my hands in the RV. May come back with a group of friends at a cooler time of year or around the holidays when there will be more going on in Pioneer Town.

Great Place to Stay in JT!
This was the perfect spot to stay in all of Joshua Tree! We came out for a concert and this site was literally a three minute walk from the venue. It was well taken care of, clean, and centrally located in Pioneertown. Highly recommend this location if you are going to a show at Pappy & Harriet's! We found a great spot under some trees for our tent and it was very comfortable. We will defiantly be back!

Pioneertown Corrals Tent Camping
Simple living at a special place
Camped in our truck at the Corrals and loved every minute. It was a quiet Sunday. We were the only ones there for quite a while. Loved getting to enjoy the space and then walk right over to the town strip and go through the shops as well as head on over to Pappy's when the time came for dinner, some cocktails and show. Killer intimate venue at the indoor stage. Such a cool experience to walk right on back to our campsite afterwards. And clean bathrooms were a huge plus! Will definitely return!
