Moon Rock Ranch | Desert camping and retreats near Joshua Tree

Camp under the biggest stars you've ever seen.

15 open acres of high desert, 20 minutes from Joshua Tree. Live music, sound baths, painting at sunset, and a fire pit at every campsite.

House shows on the outdoor main stage, drum circles, and music lessons and recording in the on-site studio.

Intuitive painting with Brad, about 30 minutes before the sun goes down.

Live sound baths for 8 to 10 guests, played by Brad. Lie back and let the desert quiet do the rest.

A 9:15 morning hike and a 45-minute sunset hike, right from camp. The ranch borders open BLM land.

Meditation, yoga, and stretching at 10. Strength training at 12:30. The afternoon is yours.

Cool off in the cold pool, read in the shade, and save your energy for the sunset.

Pitch a tent, park your camper, or bring an RV up to 35 feet. Mountain views in every direction and a front-row seat to the night sky.

Leashed dogs are welcome. Potable water and campfires are allowed. There are no toilets or showers at the sites, so come ready to rough it a little.

Coachella Valley Weekly, on the Moon Rock Ranch Art & Music House Show

The ranch hosts weddings, private parties, and small retreats, with an outdoor main stage, a recording studio, and farm-to-table meals.

The ranch is open for the Hwy 62 Art Tours the first three weekends of October.

The ground is rocky desert, so plan on flat shoes.

Brad plays the house shows, leads the sound baths, and teaches music and painting on the ranch.

Marnie is a trained art therapist and coach. She hosts the ranch with Brad.
