Land Yacht Joshua Tree
Great Joshua Tree stay
Great little spot right on the border of Joshua Tree National Park. Quiet, private, beautiful stargazing. Active and communicating host. Just know this isn't glamping, this is rustic. But comfortable. The stock tank was an excellent way to cool off during the 100 degree summer day. The AC on the unit brought the night temp down in like 30 minutes. Slept 3 and 2 dogs comfortably! Only "wish" is that the LY had an outdoor shower too! Will return.

Land Yacht Joshua Tree
We LOVED the Land Yacht. The airstream, the deck, the views. 10/10
Perfect after a day of exploring JTNP. The host was so friendly and helpful. She communicated so thoroughly in advance about any questions we may have or anything we might need to know, plus recommendations for things to do In the area.

Land Yacht Joshua Tree
What an amazing place! We had a very comfortable night here, cooked in the bbq and sat out to watch the huge night sky. Crystal was super helpful and there was everything we needed in the Land Yacht to make this a truly memorable stay.

Nice Relaxing Stay
Had a great time at the Land Yacht. Even during the summer months (stayed in early June), the Mini-Split AC did a good job at cooling down the inside. It does take a while, but certainly does make it a comfortable temperature.
The site feels private, has a nice pool, and great views of the mountains.

Moon Yacht
The moon yacht was so cute. The night sky views was the best part . It was very clean, cute little air stream. Lots of desert to explore. Wildlife to watch. We couldn’t find the hammock , but that’s ok. There was enough benches to sit on. Would go again.

Potential but needing serious TLC
The land yacht has so much potential but is in desperate need of a good clean and repair.
As we opened the door we were hit but the strong smell of decaying mouse, a smell that only mildly dissipated after three hours of having all windows open and which woke us repeatedly through the night.
The land yacht seems to be aiming for a retro cool vibe but falls solidly into the ‘hasn’t been updated/maintained since the 70s’ category instead. There are countless examples of broken fittings and furniture or parts of the air stream that are solidly broken or falling apart, with some parts crudely patched up with dirty rags or sponges and others left to decay. Only one light bulb out of around 10 worked and there were multiple hanging wires.
It’s hard to see why a cleaning fee is charged with trash all around and under it along with random items left from previous guests such as razors and condom wrappers, not to mention a liberal scattering of mouse droppings and the strong dead mouse smell.
Whilst I understand camping/glamping in the desert naturally comes with a level of mice, insects, dirt, etc, it doesn’t justify a complete lack of cleanliness and maintenance.
I had really been looking forward to our stay and I really wanted to like it but I couldn’t recommend this stay until it has a good clean and repair :(
