Convenient spot, friendly folks
We stayed just one night en route to Texas. Our hosts welcomed us warmly and gave us many tips, though our timeline didn't allow us to take advantage of all their great ideas. Thanks to a rare monsoon shower the heat wasn't too intense, and we enjoyed the landscape and sunset immensely. We hope we can return the favor, and that we meet again!

Great place, Great hosts ! BW at its best !
We wanted to stay 3 nights at Stephen and Patty's place but since I was in the middle of a product launch for my online business and I had barely no signal from TMobile, we had to cut it to one night.
The place is REALLY beautiful, a real piece of paradise in the middle of the desert!
Stephen and Patty are 2 really nice hosts. Kind of host that you feel comfortable the second you meet them.
You can't ask more from BW : Awesome host and place, full hookups, peaceful, secure, lot of space.
Really a place we would like to go back, when I won't be working ! ;)

Quiet & Peaceful
These fine folks provided, ample room to park our RV complete with hookups, suggestions on local sights complete with a map, expansive view of the valley, quiet surroundings, Jeep ride to view local petroglyphs and RV jawing. What more could you ask for? We truly enjoyed our desert experience at their place! Thank you DesertStephen!

Awesome time
Steve and Patty are great people with full hookups that are better than most parks we have stayed at on our journey from Ohio.
Who else loans a DVD to someone just because it wasn't due back ?
Highly recommended for anything ranging from tent camper to 40 ft class A.

Hospitable, accommodating and helpful too
This was our first BW stay and we weren’t sure what to expect. Stephen and Patty responded quickly to our last-minute request. Stephen had moved vehicles around to ensure we had space, and provided everything we could need (power, water, dump). They shared some very helpful local information and were great hosts. Thanks so much!

The Oasis in the Desert
If you want to meet some of the most gracious, and generous people on the planet, stop in at DesertStephens in Landers. When we originally stopped here, we only planned on staying one night. But, after one night, we couldn't leave. These guys were the best. They even asked us to stay and celebrate Thanksgiving with them. We were truly spoiled, and made a new friendship with these hosts. They took us for a ride in their rig as well, and showed us what the A class life is like. They know all the secrets, and places to go, and we can't wait to stop by again, and see what's new. Don't skip Landers, you'll miss out on some great sunsets, star gazing, and hosts. These guys are one of the reasons that the RV community has such a good name.

Very helpful Hosts
We stayed here one night on our way back from Joshua Tree. Stephen´s wife was really helpful and got us everything we needed for our stay. We only met Stephen very early in the morning before we left. Overall a very kind couple and a very nice stay.

Fun in the high desert!
Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming! The spot was level, fit our 41 foot fifth wheel easily, and even had hook ups!
On Saturday our hosts took us to a few places in the desert that we would have never found without them. Petroglyphs. A HUGE bolder. We had a great time and hopefully will get a chance to stay here again.
A big thanks to our hosts!

Wonderful hosts, so generous, so warm
We had a fantastic time staying with DesertStephen and his wife and seeing the local area with them! It was hard to leave in the end and we hope to stay in touch. DS was super generous in lending me tools and sharing wisdom to do a few repairs and improvements on the old van mobile. If you are in Yucca Valley be sure to stop by Jelly Donut late afternoon/early evening and see what their mysterious box of pink donuts are selling for. I paid $4.75 for easily a dozen donuts. It goes down every hour by a dollar! You'd be a fool not to buy them at any price!
Enough jokes. Can't recommend DS & Co. enough. They are truly wonderful folk and you should stop by Landers to hang out with them. Or host them if they inquire!
