One mile from Joshua Tree National Park southern entrance. Beautiful desert landscape nestled in by mountains. Private serene and spiritual land.

Me and my 3 friends tent camped here and it was awesome! The stars are so clear out there and there are plenty of mountains to climb. As the description says, a 4x4 vehicle is definitely required as there are 2 pretty steep hills that a normal car couldn’t handle. The fire pit is very large, and it even has an elevated platform that can swivel over the fire so you can place a pan and cook things. There was no outhouse but it wasn’t much of a problem because there’s a gas station about 15-20 minutes away. Overall, such a cool place and would definitely go back.

Awesome Trip!

Amazing site, totally secluded from everything but the desert and the stars. A fun and legitimate 4WD trail to get there, but easy enough to navigate. Benjamin was super responsive. Highly recommended!

Perfectly private. Our family did some little hikes around camp and star gazed.

We had such an amazing time! This property is magical and we are completely in love with this spot. Being out there all on our own with great hills to climb and rocks to explore was exactly what our family needed to unplug and relax. Seriously a slice of heaven. We'll be back and thanks for sharing it with us!!

Beautiful, secluded campsite
Tent
Benjamin was very helpful in guiding us to his property, it’s a good distance away from the road but had zero issues with his directions.
The campsite was really clean and very peaceful and private. Would definitely visit again

It was exactly what we wanted for a remote campsite. It was a beautiful setting and Benjamin was very helpful with directions and any other questions we had. We only stayed 1 night but would love to bring our whole family out for a longer stay. There is plenty of small dead brush to burn for a campfire, but it burns quickly, and I will bring some of my own larger fire logs for our next visit.
