About this spot

Temporary Caretaker Quarters

The Temporary Caretaker Quarters in the Piute Wash watershed of California is a unique accommodation option for visitors looking to explore the stunning natural beauty of the area. The quarters are located in the Mojave National Preserve and provide visitors with a rustic, off-grid experience. The quarters are basic but comfortable, with bunk beds, a kitchen area, and a bathroom with a composting toilet. Visitors need to bring their own bedding, food, and water, as there are no services nearby. The quarters are available for rent from the National Park Service, and bookings can be made up to six months in advance.

There are a number of good reasons to visit the Temporary Caretaker Quarters. Firstly, the area is simply stunning, with rugged mountain vistas, sweeping desert landscapes, and fascinating geological formations all around. Secondly, the quarters offer visitors a chance to disconnect from modern life and experience a simpler, more natural way of living. Finally, the area is home to a wide range of wildlife, including desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, and various bird species, making it a great spot for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Visitors may also be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the rare desert tortoise, which is native to the area.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
