Campers can choose their own site anywhere on this Desert Hot Springs property, which operates on a flexible placement system rather than assigned spots. Rancho Capotista provides water hookups for RVs up to 1,000 feet in length, along with trash service and pet-friendly policies. The campground accepts reservations and offers multiple access options including drive-in, hike-in, and walk-in arrangements.
Located less than a mile from Palm Springs-Joshua Tree KOA and other established RV parks, the property serves campers who prefer selecting their own camping location. The $40 nightly rate covers basic hookup services. This setup works well for RV travelers seeking hookups with site flexibility rather than structured campground layouts.
Description
Raw desert camping for tents, rv’s and trailers. Pick your spot anywhere on the property. This is not glamping. Stay for the night and head out to Joshua Tree for some hiking!
