Camp Temenos : Rimrock, CA
50989 Burns Canyon Rd, Pioneertown, CA
Camp Temenos is a small desert retreat property in the community of Rimrock, just outside Pioneertown, California, in the high desert of the Morongo Basin. The name comes from the ancient Greek word for a piece of land set apart as a sanctuary, and the property backs onto a large wildlife preserve. Its individual accommodations include a restored 1950s Spartan travel trailer, a tipi, and a separate family house.
Those units are booked individually through Airbnb and Hipcamp rather than as one group rental, which makes the property accessible to a solo traveler or a couple passing through rather than only large parties. It sits about five miles up a paved road from Pioneertown and the music venue Pappy and Harriet's, putting riders within reach of the town's restaurants and the wider Joshua Tree area.
