Camping at Copper Moon offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle, immersing visitors in a serene and private desert environment. The site is ideal for stargazing due to the lack of light pollution, and many have appreciated the spaciousness and tranquility it provides. However, there are some maintenance issues, like broken glass and an unclean toilet, that detract from the experience. While most reviews are positive, it's important to be prepared for a rustic setting with minimal amenities.

Great Family Camping!

We had a great experience at Copper Moon! The directions were easy to follow and we quickly found our site and set up camp. The site was clean and the campfire setups were appreciated! It’s a quiet area very distant from any real light pollution, and with our clear moonless night it was fantastic for stargazing! 10/10 would recommend!

Secluded Camping Spot

We loved our stay on Jessica’s land. Although it’s close to the main road it’s very private and has many perfect flat spots to set up your tent. Felt so relaxed unwinding, after a nice hike at JTNP, under the stars. Definitely recommend!

What an incredible campsite! When I asked my kids how many stars they'd give it, they both said "10 million!" We camped as a family of four in our 4Runner with a rooftop tent, and this spot blew us away. The campsite is spacious, offering stunning views of both the mountains and the vast desert landscape. There’s absolutely zero light pollution, making it perfect for stargazing—I was even able to spot the Little Dipper and Venus shining brightly.
The property has multiple fire pits, but we opted to use our propane fire pit. We spotted a fox both nights, so keep your smaller pets close. The access road is a dirt path, and while high clearance isn’t necessary, some areas might benefit from a 4WD vehicle. The directions to the site are simple to follow, and we were only 25 minutes from the northern entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Overall, a fantastic spot for a peaceful, scenic getaway!

Great campsite. It was easy to find with the directions, we had a great time, and it was very secluded.

check ur messages for helpful directions from host (including tip of heading there before sundown). the road is very very bumpy and dusty—make sure ur vehicle can handle loose dirt. the site was secluded! we had it to ourselves. there are lots of little fire pits. idk if there was a camping toilet.
