Terra Vivus is Latin for "The Earth is alive." Welcome to a great balance of being away from civilization, engulfed in nature with peace and quiet yet also being 10 minutes away from the nearest market and 30 minutes away from the nearest city. Chipmunks, crows, doves, crickets, coyotes, sparrows and many other creatures call this land home. This is protected land called a Significant Ecological Area mostly because of the thousands of Joshua Trees. Send a photo of you sharing your water with the plants at terra.vivus.inquiries@gmail.com and receive $5 off your stay. 25% of all revenue goes to restoring, preserving and enhancing the existing ecosystem. Come experience and contribute to the preservation of this beautiful landscape. It can be windy at times, in order to mitigate this I recommend using your car(s) to block the wind. Local markets also sell neck gaiters for face protection. I also have pieces of plywood with bricks that you're welcome to move and shift to fit your needs. I am in the process of building a tree/shrub wind block. There's about .4 miles of dirt road to get to the property, there are some dips to watch out for but I come out here in a little Prius so it's manageable. Overall, there is an element of seclusion but occasionally people do drive by on the dirt road. I would rate the cell phone service a 7/10, it's pretty solid but can go out at times.

Its wonderful place if you seek escape from city and being chill in nature. It's quite windy place so highly prepare the wind when you pitch your equipment on site.

It was still a peaceful and pleasant journey, though the wind blew quite a bit. If it's a windy day, set up your tent using Joshua trees as a windbreak.

Amazing spot, great views, right in the middle of a Joshua Tree forest. A herd of sheep came through and with them two Shepard dogs who stayed around our site and kept us company, we had a dog with us and they kinda butted heads but it was worth it for having two guardian dogs with us for a late night campfire! Would camp here again. 5/5 stars!
