About
Embark on a journey through time and nature where the past meets the present under the expansive skies of Southern California. At this unique RV camping spot, nestled in the heart of the Yuha Desert, you're invited to explore an extraordinary museum without walls, dedicated to preserving the heritage and natural beauty of the Imperial Valley.
Offering more than just a place to park your RV, this location provides an immersive experience, inviting Harvesters to connect with the land and the stories it holds. With dedicated RV and trailer parking spaces available seven days a week, reservations unlock the door to an adventure filled with education, exploration, and unmatched desert vistas.
Experience the convenience of modern amenities like free WiFi available throughout the parking lot, ensuring you stay connected even while basking in the serenity of the desert wilderness.

As the sun dips below the horizon, prepare yourself for an unparalleled view of the night sky, unmarred by city lights. This location prides itself on offering uninterrupted views that transform RV camping into an astronomical experience.
Adventurers are kindly reminded to respect the delicate desert ecosystem that sprawls over 133 acres around them, housing numerous species of wildlife.
