Complete privacy nearly 2 miles in from a gated entrance at the base of a small canyon. Walk up to the ridge for panoramic views of JT National Park, Joshua Trees, mountains and valleys highlighted with brilliant greens, yellows and other blooms and a winding graded dirt road up to your exclusive camp site.

This tranquil area also has some of the best stargazing away from the crowds and city lights. Ask host about contained camp fires due to high fire risk and recent fires that affected this area.

The site's proximity to both nature and town amenities makes it a convenient yet off-grid retreat. While the area has experienced fire damage, it remains a beautiful location with easy access and responsive hosts. Visitors appreciate the spaciousness and tranquility of the site, although finding a perfectly flat spot for tents may require some effort.

A special location in Joshua Tree

22 ft travel trailer · Group trip

Amazing location right outside JTree National Park with lots of privacy and amazing views. We loved the peace and solitude. Would have loved to have been able to burn a campfire but understand the danger that poses in the area given the burn scar from other wildfires in the area. Recommend Tipi Canyon for the peace, solitude, and beautiful sunrises.

I loved camping with our Airstream Bambi at Tipi Canyon! The site was nice and flat but up on the hill with amazing views day and night. I was very close to town so it was easy to go down and get some extra supplies and to browse the vintage stores. We would definitely like to come back!

Remote site in middle of Joshua tr,

23 ft Class B

Very cool site above Yucca Valley. Gives the feeling of remote camping. If the night weather had been barably warm the evening stargazing would have been fabulous alas the temps dropped so we weren't able to utilize the sites benefits. Only downside was that a fire in the past few years had burned out most of the Joshua Trees so it had moonscape vibes. I drive across the property showed how "lush" it has been.

Host was very communicative and responsive. Location was exactly as described. If you are looking for solitude within a short distance of Yucca Valley and JTNP, this is a great spot.
