Best Glamping near Pioneertown, CA

Visited the last 2 weeks of August. Great place for family and kids. Affordable. Campsite #295. You can fit two 10' x10' canopies to cover the bench table, and fit 2 individual tents (4-6 person) OR a bigger 12p tent however you decide to position it. It has its own Fire pit. Different campgrounds for all chosen methods (Tent, RV, Glamping, etc..) There's restrooms you can use. There's showers you can pay per use. The swim zone isn't too far from this campsite, 5-10 min walk w/ no accessories. If you have little ones, you can take them with a wagon but I'd recommend just driving your car with a few items to the zone. Bring your own shade for this campsite, your own water too. The marketplace is near the entrance BUT they only sell individual waters (No 48 pack types). You'll definitely hear your neighbors snore at night after a long day LOL.. quiet hours are from 10pm - 8am. Overall, this is a great spot. If you're lucky to snag other spots with trees covering you then great but this is still a good campsite. Happy camping! ... Oh yeah, T-Mobile no service up there (apparently Verizon, AT&T do)

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.

Way too windy. We had tents and trailers. None of us slept. The trailer rocked horribly and the tents were filled with dirts. The yurts walls were impacted by the wind and the maintenance people were out trying to fix them.

The good was the maintenance crew is attentive. The pools and hot tubs are great. The list of activities were such a nice touch. The staff are all so kind and accommodating. The sites are all very large, from tents to RV sites.

The KOA is reasonably priced for KOA and California. 3 hot spring tubs. Pool is warm and wall stops wind. Many activities for kids miniature golf, jump board, play ground. Many activities for adults as well the staff are very nice and helpful.

We stayed here for four nights and actually enjoyed it in spite of the heat during the afternoon hours.  Our space was on the end so we had a lot of privacy but near the I-40.  That didn't bother us but it might bother those who are looking for total quiet.  The nights were fantastic!!  The lakes here give it a nice feel since it's in the Mojave desert between Barstow and Ludlow California.  The staff was VERY friendly and helpful.  The best part for me was the pool which was clean and cool.

We have camped at Joshua Tree National Park on multiple occasions. This is a very special place never gets old. We lived in San Diego at the time and this made for a nice weekend trip to Palm Springs and then Joshua. You will need to plan ahead and make reservations or come in the off season to get a camping spot. The park is so close to major populations in Southern California it is always crowded. The tent camping sites are close together but adequate. You can get nestled up against the rocks which will help manage the desert sun and winter winds. The trees and rock formations are incredible. They have some historical elements but the towering rocks and desert vistas are the highlight here. Wow, what a place. The camps have pit toilets and you can fill up your water containers. The biggest challenge here is managing the large crowds and the weather. It can be very cold in the winter nights and baking hot in the summer. Late Spring or Fall are the best times to visit. You can get supplies at on the road near the park. This is a bucket list park and a must see.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and quick to bring whatever we needed!

Remember KOAS are independently owned and operated..DID NOT care for this location..old park...many dysfunctional sewer connections.. management didn't provide a viable solution for connection. I had to buy one to make it work.. bathrooms were dated and smelled funky.

Very nice hot tubs and swimming pool

KOA campground with very very clean it was pretty empty when we stayed at the KOA . the staff being a little bit rude to a family that had travel to stay in the cabin it was a family of six in the cabin of 4 kick them out without giving them any break felt bad for them.

Overall- convenient and clean place to stay if looking for a place to stay in Southern CA and want to head into Joshua Tree, The Living Desert Zoo or check out anything else in the area. The sites themselves are easy to navigate into. Nice wide streets. Some fun things on site like miniature golf and bike rentals and the pool area is a relatively nice size (we just checked it out - didn’t end up using it).

Where it is lacking and needs some work:

• Sites are not level. *Our dump hookup ended up being uphill so one has to milk the house to empty (our neighbors had the same situation.) *The entrance into the KOA - if coming in and making a right - be careful as you essentially end up making a U-turn around a rock wall and into the park. Just a funky entrance.

Would give it 3.5 Stars. 👍

Large spacious sites. Clean restrooms and showers.

Tent sites were massive, basically could be used for RV as well. Everything on the grounds were nice and as expected with KOA quality but the price is a bit much for tent camping.

Was a clean place to stay overnight, wouldn’t go back in case we would visit the area. Luckily there were many open campsites, so we had open space next to it. The spaces are tiny.

Quiet, clean and easy to get into spaces. Host was very accommodating and campground was well run. Highly recommend.

Near and clean campground with clean restrooms requiring a key code to enter. Two laundry rooms. One large pool and three spas (hot tubs to folks not from So Cal) all heated with naturally heated mineral water. Secure. Park staff drive around at night to keep an eye on things. Most camps are close to the neighbors but most folks are quiet. Pay extra foe larger or premium campsites. Play area for the kids by the office. Put-put golf. Not much shade but many hedges. Gravel parking. Separate are for tents, communal sinks. Few trees around. Each camp has a sturdy picnic table. Propane fires only. And probably the same for BBQs. Great AT&T 5G cellular. Wi-Fi is weak, but it’s free.RV spot had fill hookups (water, 30 or 50 amp power, sewer, but no cable TV.

Well run and friendly, responsive staff. Understand that Desert Hot Springs is sometimes WINDY!! And that can mean dust storms, but that goes for the entire Cochella Valley. Not close to anything out here. A convenience store about 1/3 mile away. You won’t be running for coffee here. The the management sometimes hosts events and a weekend breakfast can be purchased.

All rigs are in good repair and I’ve seen nothing sketchy here at all. Been here 3 weeks with 3 more to go.

Bottom line: I would definitely stay here again, but it is a drive to get into DHS or Palm Springs. And it is windy/dusty.

We took a break from dry camping to stop here and recharge. Easy spots and not as large as some KOA (which was good). Private hot showers that you accessed with a free code. The wifi was pretty good too. There was a 9 hole mini golf and playground for the kids too. Great views of the mountains.

Nice cashier all friendly cheap prieces and lot of Space
