Desert Drifter RV Resort is a boutique RV park—your relaxed basecamp for Joshua Tree adventures. We have two on-site, fully set-up trailers available for nightly rentals, and the rest of the park is occupied by guests who travel with their own RVs/trailers. That means you’ll be staying in a real RV resort environment with a friendly, low-key community vibe—not a stand-alone hotel. Expect clean, design-forward spaces, desert landscaping, wide open skies for stargazing, and thoughtful touches that make arrivals easy. Enjoy park-wide Wi-Fi, a refreshing pool, shaded seating areas, and convenient parking at your unit. An on-site manager is available daily, and our team is happy to share local tips for trails, photo spots, and live music. All recreational amenities are exclusively for registered guests, helping keep the atmosphere peaceful and comfortable. We’re close to everything in Yucca Valley and a short drive to Joshua Tree National Park—perfect for exploring by day and unwinding under the Milky Way by night.

Hi, I’m Shawn—a long-time High Desert local and dad who loves hiking Black Rock Canyon by day and counting constellations with my daughter at night. Our small team lives nearby and our on-site manager, Jan, looks after guests daily. We’re happy to share the best trailheads, photo spots, and where to hear great live music after a day in the park. Whether you’re rolling in for a quick adventure or settling in for a longer desert reset, we’re here to make it easy.

We’re in Yucca Valley on Hwy 62—perfectly placed for exploring Joshua Tree National Park’s West Entrance, Old Town’s vintage shops and cafés, and the region’s art and music scene. Don’t miss Pioneertown and Pappy & Harriet’s for legendary live shows, the open-air installations at the Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum, or a sound bath at the Integratron (book ahead). Black Rock Canyon offers great hiking and spring wildflowers, while clear desert nights invite effortless stargazing back at the resort. Pro tip: bring layers—days can be warm and nights refreshingly cool—and help us protect our dark skies by using minimal outdoor lighting. Enjoy the space, the silence, and the stars.
