Discover the New Chic Airstream Hotel in Joshua Tree with Heated Pool

Travelers headed to Joshua Tree National Park now have another unique option for nearby lodging at airstream hotel AutoCamp’s newest location, which officially opened at the end of Dec. 2021. Set in the Southern California desert less than 10 minutes outside of the national park, AutoCamp Joshua Tree welcomes guests for an experience that feels simultaneously like a boutique hotel and a glamping outpost.

Choosing Your Accommodation

The 25-acre property features three types of accommodations: Airstreams, Accessible Suites, and X Suites. Each option offers a kitchenette, an outdoor dining area, and a fire pit perfect for a s’mores-filled evening. For those looking to have a classic auto-camping experience with an elevated twist, the 31-foot-long Airstreams are the best choice. Inside, guests will find midcentury modern décor, a walk-in rain shower, and luxury linens on a queen-size bed that sits under panoramic windows looking out over the desert.

Expansive Suites for Comfort

For more spacious accommodations, the Accessible and X Suites are ideal; they each provide a private bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room complete with a flatscreen TV and sofa bed for additional guests. No matter which accommodations guests select, they’ll be fully immersed in their surroundings thanks to the carefully curated design features of this AutoCamp location.

Capturing the Spirit of Joshua Tree

“Joshua Tree is a rare destination full of expression and personality; as hospitality designers, it’s our goal to capture that spirit through design,” said Tom Sprinkle, principal and design director at HKS, the company overseeing the property’s design. “The architecture nods to the eclectic nature of the locale, supplemented with a midcentury modern elegance. The intentional use of raw and native materials brings texture and rustication, resulting in a sense of nostalgia for an authentic guest experience.”

On-Site Amenities

Beyond the suites and airstreams, guests can spend time at the property’s Clubhouse. Serving as an on-site gathering hub, the Clubhouse features a plunge pool, a large fire pit, and dome-covered sitting areas. AutoCamp Joshua Tree also offers a food and beverage program featuring local chefs, along with yoga classes, fireside chats, ecology walks, and night-sky photography seminars.
