A true gem of the high desert! We enjoyed our stay in the Integratrailer. Unfortunately, we were not visited by extraterrestrial life forms. Our host Ian was wonderful and very accommodating! read more

Super friendly, super interesting, fantastic place! The lady up front was super helpful and showed us around to everything. Bring an extra blanket, and be prepared for a small and sketchy bathroom. But other than that, it's amazing. read more

My first time at Hicksville was in 2016, and I just completed my fifth stay - my second with my kiddo during a family week. This is one of my favorite places in the world. It feels like a little secret world where responsibilities fade away and community comes naturally. My kid is 6 now, and it's been so special watching him come to know and love this place too. The staff is amazing. There's truly something for everyone. The desert views and star-filled skies have a way of centering you that's hard to find in our busy lives. I almost wish I could keep it a secret, but it deserves to be experienced and loved by as many people as possible. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this charming little oasis out in the high desert of So Calif. Eleven wonderful and eclectic themed trailers, a swimming pool, hot tub, miniature golf, ping pong, bows and arrows and BB guns, the list goes on. (My favorite trailer is the Sideshow, based on a late 1800s circus train and the term "macabre" doesn't do it justice.) If you go, ask to talk with Erica who runs the place and she'll steer you to all the cool things to do, places to eat and drink in town as well. You will just plain LOVE it here! read more

Hicksville Trailer Palace - Looking over the main part of the Trailer Palace from the hot tub landing. - Hotels Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Review for Hicksville Trailer Palace Rating: Hicksville Trailer Palace is definitely an experience. It's a great spot if you're looking for something unique in the Joshua Tree area, but there are a few things you should know before you head out into the desert. The Arrival & Check-In Getting here can be a bit of a puzzle. If you follow your GPS to the provided address, it will likely take you to Foxy Flats Road. The HTP directions suggest a different route but aren't the clearest. Pro Tip: Drive past Foxy Flats until you hit the stop sign, then take a left on Boarder and another left on La Brisa. If you have a truck or SUV, don't bother going the extra mile. Foxy Flats is bumpy in places but not that bad. Once we arrived around 7:00 PM, the vibe was a little awkward. Check-in is technically 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM, but the innkeeper, Jessica, seemed a bit put out that we didn't arrive earlier. It wasn't the warmest welcome, which set a bit of a rough tone for the start of the trip. The Stay & Maintenance The property itself is showing some age. We ran into a few maintenance hiccups during our stay: Lighting: We had a blown bulb in the bathroom (Jessica did fix this quickly once reported). Plumbing: We had no hot water initially. When we finally figured out how it worked, we found that there were only 2 settings: scalding and freezing. At least it was better than having to use the communal shower and toilet that most guests have to share. Overall Condition: You can tell there's been a general decline in the upkeep of the property and some of the equipment. The Highlights (The "Fun" Factor) Despite the rough start, the "Palace" shines when it comes to activities. It's 21+ and dog-friendly, which makes for a very chill, adult-playground atmosphere. We had a blast exploring the quirky amenities: Activities: Archery, BB guns, shuffleboard, and mini-golf. Games: Ping pong, darts, and a ball pit. Relaxation: A pool, hot tub, fire pits, and a cute little library. Final Verdict Is it worth it? If you want a one-of-a-kind, kitschy desert experience, it's worth staying once. It's fun, quirky, and full of personality, but just go in with managed expectations regarding the service and the "wear and tear" of the grounds. read more

What a fun, unique experience! We stayed in the Skipper and it was perfect. Every little surprise was detail oriented and we were all sad to leave. We are already looking at future dates for another stay. Definitely recommended! ​ read more

Third year staying and another fantastic experience. My best friend and I have traveled from Michigan the last three years for our girls trip and stopping here for a couple nights is a highlight for us. The inn keeper is great and very responsive, if there's something needed she's on top of it. Echoing other reviews: it's not a brand new place and therefore there is some wear and tear. If you're not okay with an element of grunge with your quirky, this might not be for you. If you are okay with it, this place is amazing and fun fun fun! read more

Loved my solo getaway there! I stayed in the alien trailer. It was perfect for me. I'll be back for sure to relax! It was stormy but the rain sounded great on the airstream. Next time I'll sunbathe & stargaze. Highly recommend this place! ( I left my plant there. You guys keep it. I guess it belongs there :) Thank you! read more

This is exactly as described. It's a perfect getaway to enjoy the stars, mini golf, some archery, pump action bb guns, a relaxing ball pit, 24 hour hot tub, or some mind elevation. I absolutely plan on going back. Things to consider: There is a mile+ of dirt road, but drivablefor a low clearance sedan. No oven, but there is a cast iron dutch oven. So if you've got good cooking skills it shouldn't be a problem. There is a hot plate that runs on 120v and charcoal grills available Towels are provided, but are not as absorbent as I prefer (I'll bring my own next time). It was beyond my expectations. read more

Loved this place! We had such a unique experience It made me want to come back to try out all the other trailers. We spent one night but still couldn't try out everything they had. We tried the BB guns, Pool, mini library, swimming pool and jacuzzi and still had the best time. Definitely a place to revisit to get the full experience read more

I kind of don't want to tell you about it. It's that good. If you're thinking about it, do it if it doesn't look like it's for you good we don't need you. read more

This place is unlike anything I have ever seen, it is just spectacular. I think I could stay there 20 times and notice more and more intentional details. We brought a group of 20 friends and it was absolutely epic. Rent the place out if you can. But every time I've been, the coolest people have been there. We stayed in the Skipper, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! It's a 5 star experience. Lastly, the staff are just awesome and helpful people. Imagine Four Seasons level of service, only in your own little airstream. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, Erica and Jessica! read more

We had a great time at Hicksville Trailer Palace! The facility is well cared for, the pool was nice and clean, the bathrooms were well maintained. We would definitely stay again, but for at least two nights next time so we could enjoy more of the activities. read more

I love this place. I stayed in The Lux, which is themed after The Cramps (one of my all time favorite bands!) It looked amazing inside and out. Everything else about Hicksville was great as well. I loved listening to music on the jukebox. Relaxing in the jacuzzi while stargazing was fantastic. read more

Hicksville is one of my favorite places to stay. They have thought of everything. Towels but the pool and a place for each trailer to hang them, activities for leisure and fun, and the top deck hot tub at sunrise or sunset is a must. I absolutely love this place. I am a huge fan. Friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend. read more

We had such a lovely time for my birthday!! Check in and check out was easy and the place is just as expected with beautiful nighttime views. We also had fun meeting some of the other guests and enjoying the activities. Thanks for a great weekend! read more

Such a pleasant stay!!! Stayed in the Lux and could not have been happier! Will be back read more

Love this place!! Had a great time with the fun activities. Middle of nowhere but so many fun things to do.

Great atmosphere. Far from the world. Great place to escape. Would definitely go back read more

Hidden gem of a place! So glad we ended up choosing Hicksville on a whim for our Yucca Valley trip. Incredible value for the insanely affordable price. The trailers all have cute themes and were cleaned well, and the bathrooms were always clean (they are shared bathrooms so keep that in mind if you have an issue with that), theres a shared outdoor kitchen, the outdoor furniture was all very cool and retro, you can buy firewood and use the fire pit, there's so much fun stuff to do on the grounds its almost like summer camp for adults. Wish we could've stayed longer! The innkeeper was also such a nice and chill guy, immediately made us feel comfortable and welcome. read more

so friendly & helpful! amenities are amazing!! there is a dirt road coming in for about a mile but i was fine even in my car! super comfy & fun stay read more

Hicksville Trailer Palace - Hotels Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Staff was friendly and courteous, and the trailer was clean. Some amenities we wanted to use we could not because of how heavy the winds were. we felt that our trailer (the integretrailer) was a little underwhelming in terms of theme-- the coolest part which was an alien cow abduction lamp but it didn't work. we also were sad to have to pay $4 (cash only) for keurig coffee in the morning, since there is no kettle provided in the trailer or kitchen. we were also only provided one towel for a two person stay, and the towel was very poor quality, too plasticky to absorb any water. overall my friend has had better experiences in other trailers, and the wind was a factor, so 3/5 stars feels right. would give 3.5/5 if i could. would stay again maybe if i got a better trailer, brought my own towel, coffee and kettle, and got the weekday rate. read more

What a great place. There is so much to do. They really took the time to create a place where you can truly get away. The staff (Luz) was super hospitable and did a great job being helpful but giving you space at the same time. We really enjoyed the laid back vibe and all the activities. We will be back.

Hicksville Trailer Palace - Pee Wee - Hotels Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

We stayed there for our anniversary and I was worried it would maybe just be a cool place to stay for the novelty of it or instagram purposes but we found our stay at the Skipper very comfortable. The pool exceeded our expectations and was the perfect temperature and clean. Our trailer was set back from the main area so we felt like we had privacy and quiet. You can't beat the stargazing in the hot tub and hammocks at night. Slept great, the other guests were also considerate and didn't have any issues. Will definitely stay again. read more

This is my sons wedding day. He was so happy to find the love of his life. I'm sorry to say she walked out of there marriage after six years. He is so heartbroken he can't pickup the peace's to move on. We all loved her so much but looks can be deceiving. It doesn't end there she took out a loan to repair the house (Not) she ran off with the money and now she's in Europe. So I proceeded to tell my son. He can use all this against her when they go to divorce court, so he doesn't get stuck paying off all the loans as she had gotten. Like I said, we all liked her, but thought she was a nice person. Turns out to be. She's only a scammer read more

I spent one night in, "The Sweet," it was awesome! Wish I could have stayed longer. It provides a lot of activities to do and explore. It even has a mini library if you want some solo time. I would have rated this place a 5 star but the TV wasn't working and the balls inside the ball pit were dusty. read more

Fun and interesting. Not possible to be bored here. I could see this being a great place for a big birthday bash! I would just recommend not having microfiber towels for the bathrooms. Not great for drying off. read more

This place is fantastic! My wife and I stayed in the Sideshow trailer. It was awesome!! Super unique hideaway. Archery and BB gun range is fun. Rec room is great with a huge selection of DVDs, a billiards table and arcade games. Local saloons are excellent and offer a really cool desert/old west vibe. Can't wait to go back and try a different trailer! read more

Hicksville Trailer Palace - Hotels Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

This is my second time staying at the palace, and it never disappoints! I had ten friends join me for my birthday and we had the best time. The innkeeper Luz was friendly and helpful and made checking in all my friends who arrived at various times easy. We were able to order pizza from Postmates which was amazing because we didn't want to cook for 11 people using the shared grill (other guests on the property were using it for the majority of dinner time anyway, so it was great that Postmates worked out). We utilized a lot of the property amenities and overall had a really fun time. I have found in many of the trailers, the blankets are a little small and the pillows a bit weak. I'd probably recommend bringing your own blankets and pillows if you have a specific way you like your bed to be! My friend who is 6'4" found sleeping in The Pony uncomfortable because the blanket didn't cover him completely. Also, some of the trailers that say they can sleep 2 are really pushing it-- for example in the Lux, I'd only put two people in that bed who are both small in size and romantically interested in one another! The bed seemed smaller than the bed in the Integratrailer, for example, even though they're both billed as Fulls. Some more specific disclaimers about practical sleeping arrangements might be helpful, but we managed to make it work by Luz accommodating a last minute trailer change from the Lux to the PeeWee (thank you again!) Overall, we all had a blast and will definitely be back! read more

We just got back from Hicksville and had the time of our life. Jessica is awesome and she's a great host, the trailers are all works of art, it's fun with plenty of things to entertain yourself and discover and explore, The hot tub at night is wonderful, the pool is perfect, and the space is wonderful and accommodating beneath beautiful desert skies. And it really is gorgeous desert glamping. I read some reviews up here from pre 2020 and it looks like there may have been an owner who was a bit complicated. I'm pretty sure that's not the case anymore because I'm going to give this place all the stars because everything was perfect. It was my birthday and we had about 27 friends there and we had so much fun. Thank you Hicksville and Jessica for that weekend. If you're not obnoxious, you're going to have a great time here. read more

The whole process was an amazing experience. From start to finish. Best welcoming ever . Wish we could have stayed longer . We will be back !! Thank you read more

My girlfriend and I were just here for one night, brought our dogs and it was great. The Pee Wee Wagon was cool. To be able and stay in a Wagon that was apart of the Pee Wee legacy was cool. It may have been hot during the day but that's how it is in the summer. With a new moon, you could see stars for miles. Plan on coming back. read more

Jessica was so welcoming, she explained everything super nice And always responde. we Stay in The Pee Wee and was an absolute experience. All the Playground area was super fun and the surrounding super cute! Definitely will be back! read more

Had the best weekend getaway here for a friend's bday! Erica was super welcoming and accommodating. This place is something special.

it was everything I expected My wife and I flew into LA from Australia on Saturday. I didn't tell my wife where we were staying on Monday night but she said it was fine and 10 out of 10 for uniqueness! I think the experience was brillian! and would recommend to anyone to stay there. one night was enough for my wife, I could have stayed a week! that said it was almost empty only two other women stayed the night, for me it was tranquil and relaxing, I shall always remember lying by the pool star gazing drinking and listening to the free jukebox which had a great selection of music! read more
