This campsite near Joshua Tree is a favorite for those seeking a desert escape under the stars. Most guests praise Lisa, the host, for her helpfulness and clear communication, making the experience seamless even for last-minute bookings. While the site's simplicity and rustic charm are appreciated, some find the directions challenging and note the presence of broken glass and barbed wire, which may require caution. The atmosphere is peaceful, with stunning sunsets and ample space, but be mindful of potential loud neighbors due to the open, 'no-rules' camping environment.
Lisa’s campground was great! Off the beaten path so it was very private. We were the only ones on the grounds at the time but the entire campground was fenced in so we felt secure. Has a few buildings on the property to explore so it was fun to walk around. Would absolutely stay again!
Had a great time at the campsite! The stars at night were beautiful as well. Lisa was a great host and kept us informed on weather and any things we may need. Will definitely visit again.
The directions to find the campsite were difficult to follow but the host was available by phone to help us find the place. It was clean, quiet and felt secure. The only amenity was a portapotty - no electricity or water which was fine for us because we were prepared for that. We were able to have our dogs which was very important for us.
My husband and I booked last minute and Lisa was super accommodating! The instructions to get to the property were clear and it was very close to the entrance to Joshua Tree. The road to the property (and the property itself) was a bit sandy which is to be expected and is only a challenge if you're riding motorcycles like we were. Overall, the area is quiet and clean -- very well maintained. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area!
