Good things happen out of your comfort zone.

Leave the chaos of the city behind and unwind with Kindred’s Weekend Away in Joshua Tree. It’s like a mini-glamping retreat, but make it luxury Airstreams under the open sky.

Kindred’s desert weekend brings individuals from San Diego together to build community, spark genuine connections, create lifelong memories, and, of course, have some seriously good times.

Imagine...

Waking up in a sleek Airstream surrounded by breathtaking desert landscapes, telling tales by a roaring campfire, indulging in chef-crafted meals and artisanal cocktails, sun-tanning luxury poolside, exploring hidden trails in one of California’s most beautiful national parks, soaking in hot tubs under a canopy of stars, and swapping stories with people as unique as you.

Head back to the city feeling full – with a couple of kindred spirits and a community that feels like home.

Desert activities + luxe amenities

Start the day with a mid-morning wake up delivery of coffee (just the way you like it) + a delish breakfast sandwich.

Hike, bike, and swim the afternoon away and we’ll even wander through a ghost town if you’re feeling brave.

When hunger strikes, unwind with a slightly boozy picnic lunch among the Joshua Trees and later bike ride through town past boutiques + crystal shops.

As the sun settles into a cotton candy sky, we’ll gather around a campfire and grill a beautiful dinner together over the fire with your choice of protein, plenty of veggies + sides, and perfectly charred garlic bread.

As the stars fill the sky, we’ll roast marshmallows and laugh over camp games + late night chats.

Once the moon takes its place in the sky, our astronomer will arrive with telescopes for a private evening of stargazing.

Absolutely! Each Airstream features a full or queen-size bed and a futon that converts into an additional bed. If you're sharing an Airstream, everyone in your group needs to book together, so make sure to arrange how you’ll split the cost among yourselves. Because you are sharing an Airstream, each person's spot is discounted, which you will see on the booking page.

Your balance is due in full when you book your spot. If you need to cancel, give us at least 60 days notice. If you cancel before 60 days, your booking can be held for a future Weekend Away at no cost. OR you can request a refund minus a 20 percent processing fee. Cancellations made 59 days or less before your booking will be forfeited.
