Pioneertown Corrals

This is a place you'll want to stay if you have an RV, trailer or tent and want to see a show at Pappy & Harriet's. We stayed here for the Johnny Marr show, and it's a very basic no-frills parking lot with a picnic bench and that's about it.

Check-in is easy. You just walk into Pioneertown and go to the second building (General Store) and they'll give you a badge for your car. 

There is absolutely no Verizon service in the area, but you can hop on to the WiFi at either Pappy & Harriet's or the Pioneertown Gazette. The WiFi doesn't really extend to the campground very well though.

We have our own bathroom in the RV. We saw some tent campers go over to the outhouse and walk right back out. So you may want to use the restrooms at either Red Dog Saloon or Pappy & Harriets (after patronizing them as courtesy of course).

3 stars for proximity to the concert venue, ease of checkin and friendly camping neighbors.

It’s a very cool and unique place. They have two bars/restaurants with live bands and even a bingo night, a few gift shops and plenty of open camp sites during the week. I stayed on a Monday and there was only one other camper. Not sure how it would look on a weekend. This place is worth a weekend or one night get away. Very fun. The only negative they had was no water hookups and they only have porta potties for toilets.

We took 2 vans up for just one night and it really was a great time! The campsite itself is no frills. Basically a huge dirt lot. Each spot has a picnic table. No hookups. There was 2 toilets near by which were clean! The price is steep for what it is, but you’re paying for the convenience of being literally in the town. We had a great dinner at Pappy & Harriet’s and then watched live music at the Red Dog Saloon. Red Dog is pet friendly, we could bring our dog right to the bar - the breakfast there is also awesome! It was fun to walk around the town at night!

Nice place, beautifull views, good bar. Rustic place for camping. Just to sleep, no services.

Best $10 camping site in funky old western faux town. Next to one of best small music venues. We stayed here for a concert and walked to and from the show avoiding the traffic in and out. Friendly host. It’s basically a gravel lot but you can park anywhere along the fence and have access to running water and a real bathroom. Plus you’re super close to JT NP and funky 29 Palms. Can’t beat it.

This is a really fun place to stay and has a bunch of awesome amenities. Right behind the campground is the Pioneertown Main Street, featuring replica buildings from the old west. They have stores, gun fights, and a restaurant nearby. The campground itself has a communal fire pit and bbq area that all campers can use. Each site has a table and fire pit. The layout of the sites is a little cramped and there is no privacy. It is designed mostly for equestrian camping and has horse stalls you can rent along with your site. The restaurant (Pappy and Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace) is somewhat of a local icon, and has amazing food and is known for their live music.
