About Our Desert Domestead
Learn more about this land: Inspired by our love of the desert fauna and the night sky, the Kosmic Tortoise dome tent is located in Wonder Valley, 20 mins from the east entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. We are one of only two inspected and permitted glamping sites in the Joshua Tree area. The tent is situated at the rear of our property with a private road and unobstructed mountain views. Can’t decide between sunrises and sunsets, well here you don’t have to. On any given day they range from spectacular to mind-blowing. If stargazing is your thing, you won’t be disappointed, on a good night you can see the Milky Way. This is the perfect desert escape to unwind, explore or just relax while having access to a safe, air conditioned, solar powered bedroom, private bathroom, mini fridge, gas grill, gas fire pit, outside dining area, outlets for charging and much more. This listing includes the queen bed for up to 2 people. We live on the property and consider The Kosmic Tortoise an extension of our home so please reach out if you need any assistance. The site includes 2 domes on opposite sides of our fenceline. WiFi is available for guest use.

Kosmic Tortoise was super comfortable, quiet without being overly remote, and well taken care of. The perfect end to our road trip.
We loved the private location and the fire pit. The dome was very spacious and it came with air conditioning and even a mini fridge. The wifi was really fast and we loved stargazing at night. Would definitely recommend.

Thanks to Reeyna’s creative campsite, we crossed off multiple bucket list items. We watched the stars completely unobstructed for the first time.
