"This place was a great find. Very close to the park entrance. We were only at the property for a quick 2 day trip. Our internet went down the first night but it was probably related to some outages. One thing I would say we just had enough towels for showering but no extra towels. There is a great hot tub that they heated up before we arrived which was a very nice touch. Just need the extra towels for hot tub use. Besides these small things it was a great property. "

AutoCamp Joshua Tree

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I had a great time. Everything was very smooth and the AutoCamp campers are a unique experience. I recommend people to try it out. One advice is to bring some own food if you want to barbecue or cook, especially if you want breakfast in the morning. One thing I would recommend for AutiCamp is to improve the air-conditioning as this super super loud."
