SUPER CUTE!!

18 ft campervan

Super cute!! In the heart of the desert, there’s this adorable campsite with everything you need—bathroom, hot shower, lounge chairs to relax, and even a kitchen. Plus, Rosemarie is so sweet and helpful. She was easy to reach via messages and gave us all the necessary instructions. We only stayed for one night, but I would have gladly stayed another for a bit more relaxation!

Our desert retreat ❤️

My husband and I arrived on one of the hottest days of the year and it was a wonderful retreat. All the amenities were in place and we were able to just rest and get out to Joshua Tree in the early Am. Best part was being able to lay on the trampoline looking at the stars -the Milky Way was visible! The tent cabin doubles as a good blind for watching desert chickens flock and desert rabbit too. We were the only ones staying those nights, so I imagine it would have been a very different, but still enjoyable time if we’d had neighbors sharing the space with us.

Tent

I always love tent camping on Rose’s Collective! She is an absolutely wonderful host- lives onsite, greets you when you arrive, has lived there for years and can recommend places to eat, hike, go, etc. and beyond that is one of the kindest coolest ladies to share time with, or not - if you’re looking for that too! She has also created an amazing space with rad amenities that make hanging, cooking, and relaxing beyond easy (See amenities) !! Also, I happen to love the location as it is close to pioneer town, j-tree and shops, markets, etc 💛💛💛💛 🌵

Rosemarie is a great host. Very responsive and showed us around the property when we arrived. The property has great amenities that you can use while there such as a fridge and stove top so you do not have to worry about packing a camp stove or a cooler. The toilets were very clean. Also, most of the electricity on site is solar powered! The location is great too! Very peaceful at night - no sound of cars, and you have an amazing view of the night sky. Would definitely stay there again.
