22. Desert glamping escape

A once-in-a-lifetime Joshua Tree camping experience is waiting for you at Purty Yurty. Indeed, the name of the rental is unique which, is equivalent to the experience it offers. Take a break from the world and watch the bright stars while sipping on a warm cup of coffee or tea. In the morning, the sun is at its best as it rises to greet you. There is no internet, kitchen, and running water on the site, which makes you more connected to nature. Don’t worry! You are not far away from several restaurants and the center of Joshua Tree is just 15 to 20 minutes’ drive away. Who needs the gadgets anyway? Nature’s best offers are in front of you.
