This was an adequate overnight parking space with plenty of easily accessible trails nearby. Having a fenced area was nice as I could let my dog out in the morning without having to keep a sharp eye out for coyotes or loose/feral dogs, which is common in the desert.
Exactly what the description is, although was extremely windy the night I stayed there, and I suspect that area is normally windy. The one thing that wasn't mentioned, was that you need to hop the curb into the property. It's not extremely high, but it is a normal curb, so be prepared to carefully get up and especially down it.
Site exactly as described: a fenced in lot in Palm Springs. It’s in a safe neighborhood and the mountains and sunsets were lovely. Our Starlink had great service. The wind warnings are valid - we luckily hit a very quiet week, but they did pick up toward the end and it was obvious they can get intense. Alexander communicated with us promptly and was great host. Would definitely stay again.
A nice spot. The mountains behind the property are beautiful. Be aware the wind can really pick up. I'm traveling in an RV so it didn't make much difference to me. I think a tent camper might not have as comfortable of an experience. The area is fenced which is nice. I suggest keeping the gates closed. A couple of times several loose dogs wandered around the outside of the fence. I think they smelled my dogs so I was glad they weren't able to enter.
Good location at the end of the street, no problems getting in and out, had no problems with neighbors .
I had plenty of room for a 31 foot rv and for my dogs to run around. The Mountain View’s are sweet and the power of the win was incredible.
