This place is great! Me and some friends stayed here last year and it was an amazing, quiet getaway. Unfortunately, when I tried to re-book this year they said they're no longer doing short-term rentals. But if you're looking for a long term rental (or to buy) then I highly recommend!

Had the most amazing trip. Stars are brilliant and so is the weather. Amazing stay. 11/10

We celebrated our 7th anniversary in Blue Bertha in March. Saw Big Horn sheep on a hike and spend a few hours checking out the statues. Great get-away and loved the accommodations.

For a very last minute vacation not far from home, this place is a gem. Unique experience and friendly staff. The trailer was very clean and quiet. Stars are gorgeous at night. Ours had a gas fire pit. So convenient and relaxing.

Desert sands vintage trailer park is an oasis in the center of the California desert. This has been one of the best weekend getaways we have ever experienced. We stayed in a vintage trailer that took us back to our early high school days of road trips. Blast from the past. We couldn’t believe how much nature surrounded us in the middle of a desert. I was not expecting all the plants and nature that surrounded the park. The people truly made the experience the best. Kick back Californians helped us with all the desert questions we had. I made lifelong friendships there. I highly recommend if you are looking for something totally different, romantic, exciting and adventurous, stay the weekend at Desert Sand Vintage Trailer Park. I even met the owners. Two of the nicest people you could meet. Thanks for giving us such a great experience.
