I HAVE ALWAYS loved the desert," wrote Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry in "The Little Prince." "One sits down
on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing.
Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams."
Just a short drive from Palm Springs, Joshua Tree
National Park provides this experience. And a new
hospitality project is the perfect place from which to
enjoy it. Softly opened a few weeks ago, AutoCamp Joshua Tree
is the fourth location of the outdoor lodging brand after Yosemite,
Russian River and Cape Cod. It will be followed soon by the
Catskills and Zion. At the heart of the concept is the desire to be
in nature without sacrificing comfort.
Spread over 25 acres, AutoCamp Joshua Tree comprises 47
Airstreams, four accessible suites and four X suites — with
outdoor showers in some premium units and with HVAC systems
in all of them. "It is a magical destination and [it] allows our guests
an incredibly strong connection to Joshua Tree's spirit," says
AutoCamp founder Neil Dipaola.
