    5 acres surrounded by a number of vacant parcels. Feels more like 100 or more. The old cabin is covered with shade sails and has hammock hooks. And lights for night time.

    There are two fire rings. And owner’s camper and camping equipment are there. All chairs and grill, stove, etc. are available for use. No guarantee of propane or equipment is made. Things break and are replaced as we need them, but if they are there, feel free.

    There are camping toilets with compostable bags, and a private spot to use them. But this should be treated as a raw land campsite.

      5. The Emblem

      Sitting on one corner of this magnificent campsite is the emblem of the modern supply chain, the shipping container. This is a used 20 footer with plenty of vertical room for an NBA player.

      Yet, this is but the least significant part of the campsite which is in the Wonder Valley region of 29 Palms. "Out there," as the locals may say. As a recent local myself, I refer to this place as My Own Private Anza-Borrego. The darkness there, aka lack of light pollution, can be intimidating while also being the best place to disconnect from dirty, noisy city life.

      No matter your degree of prepper, The Emblem will be a campsite worth remembering and returning to.

      Whether you choose to sleep inside the container, with the doors wide open, or tent camp right next to it, you'll have hundreds of acres around you to yourself. The silence is pleasantly maddening. You'll get decent download speeds on your phone but don't expect to be able to work remotely out here. Be there to recharge your human batteries, expand your soul, or test your prepper readiness or new camping gear.

      Visit The Monument which is just 15 minutes away on the Utah Trail. Visit the small downtown of 29 Palms, just 8 miles away. And the (in)famous bar & grill, The Palms, just about 7 miles down Amboy heading east. They're only open these days on Fridays and the weekend.

      Electric Yurt with Cowboy Pool

      Perfect Retreat

      The property was perfect. We had originally booked the electric yurt but we were able to upgrade to the container home upon arrival. The home was perfect for the 2 of us and our 2 dogs. Ryan was very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be back.
