Airstream or Retro Shasta: Which Desert Stay Is Right for You?

Two ways to enjoy a ready-to-stay desert getaway

You can enjoy Desert Drifter without bringing an RV. Our Airstream and retro Shasta trailer offer two different ways to settle into the High Desert, with shared access to the resort pool, clubhouse, fire pit, and showers.


CHOOSE THE AIRSTREAM FOR A POLISHED RETREAT

The Airstream sleeps up to four guests, with a full-size bed and convertible dinette, a bathroom with a hot shower and toilet, cooking facilities, A/C and heat, and WiFi. It is a good fit if you want a compact but more self-contained place to return to after exploring Joshua Tree.


CHOOSE THE SHASTA FOR RETRO CHARM

The vintage-inspired Shasta Airflyte sleeps up to two guests. It has a full-size bed, lounge seating, a private bathroom, A/C and heat, a microwave, refrigerator, and exterior propane BBQ. Review the current listing for the exact bathroom and shower setup; shared resort showers are also available.


WHAT BOTH STAYS SHARE

Both give you a private trailer and a designated outdoor space within an operating RV resort. The pool, clubhouse, fire pit, laundry, and resort showers are shared with other guests. You are close to Old Town Yucca Valley and a drive from Joshua Tree National Park and Pioneertown.


Before booking, compare sleeping arrangements, bathroom setup, and amenities on our trailer lodging page, then review the current booking listing. If you are a light sleeper, know that the resort is near the main road through town. Pick the stay that matches how you like to travel, then check dates.
