Pros: The atmosphere of this place is quite wonderful. The jacuzzi was amazing under the stars. The property is so aesthetically pleasing. Cons: The shower in the bathroom never got hot, Jacuzzi off in the morning, site was listed as full hook up but it wasn’t really. There wasn’t an open water supply, the Electric wasn’t RV compatible, it was a regular 20 volt which was ok we were fully sustained in our tiny RV. Overall I would give the experience a 8/10. It’s primitive and beautiful!

A Disappointing experience

Spartan Imperial Mansion Trailer

The main reason I love Joshua tree & surrounding area is the incredible views of the starry sky. Tao has so many lights in his property it is hard to enjoy the stars as they impede the view… I have stayed in this area a couple times & never been somewhere that has so many lights on at night (esp considering the light trespass ordinance) I was frustrated by this & I messaged Tao asking him if he could please shut off some of the brighter lights. His response was simply “sorry I can’t do that” This is absurd esp bc there weren’t other campers around so l don’t know why he refused to make the accommodation. Also, the “hot” tub was not hot, more like tepid…. This too was disappointing along with the very bright light in the hot tub obstructing the view of the stars. The shower in the trailer did not work either. When I said something to Tao he instructed me to go take a shower in the main house but clearly did not inform his house guests that he’d told me I could use the bathroom & there was an awkward interaction with them bc of this lack of communication. I ended up feeling very frustrated about the fact that I could neither see the stars well at night with all the lights and I also could not view the sunset or sunrise from the property. I also felt the host was rude and not at all accommodating. I don’t think this place was worth what I paid at all. I booked for 2 nights and I only stayed 1 night bc I was not enjoying it there… my most disappointing Hipcamp stay so far

Being able to wake up and go to sleep to that view, and watch the sunsets from the hot tub was pretty magical.
