Palo Verde, California

Rest among the desert stars

A quiet retreat on Mitchells Camp Road — where the Mojave sky opens wide and every night feels like coming home. Simple lodging, genuine hospitality, no rush.

A family place in a wide-open sky

Mitchel Camp Family Association has been welcoming travelers to the high desert for decades. What started as a simple resting stop along Route 66 has grown into a quiet corner of Palo Verde where people come to slow down and breathe.

Our grounds sit at the edge of the Mojave, where the desert stretches out in every direction and the nights are impossibly dark. We don't do flash — just clean rooms, friendly faces, and the kind of silence you won't find anywhere else.

Desert Solitude

Step outside and you'll find open sky, Joshua trees, and silence so deep it resets your nervous system. The desert has a way of putting things in perspective.

Starry Nights

With minimal light pollution, our nights reveal the Milky Way in ways most people never get to see. Bring a blanket and stay up late — it's worth it.

Right off the road, right in the desert
