Boondockers paradise in the desert, just 15 minutes away from Joshua Tree National Park entrance. Starry sky at night was wonderful, and so was the glow from the nearby towns.
Please be mindful of other travelers, pack your trash, and respect the land, so we can all enjoy this for years to come!
It was a spacious and quiet free public land, as long as you keep your distance from the “party” rigs. Pulled in a little bit later on a Saturday night, and found a spot easy.
Roads are doable in any vehicle when it’s dry outside. Not sure about during rainy days - probably turns into a mud pit.
My 2x4 144 wheelbase sprinter van made it just fine, but go slow and watch out for washboard and other vehicles.
Also be mindful of occasional dogs that run around without leash. It’s a safe space for all!
There are definitely a few rigs that looked like they lived there for a while, but everyone seemed respectful and kept their distance. Lots of rigs for miles. Felt completely safe as a solo traveler.
There is no shade anywhere. Temperatures in June were 90° by 8:30 AM. Please keep that in mind if you’re traveling with pets.
