Two Bunch Palms – Desert Springs
Two Bunch Palms is a contemporary wellness escape where we implore you to define what wellness means for yourself. With no pretense of patrons sipping cucumber water in mud masks, wellness is whatever you make of it. Sleek but still relaxed — this place doesn’t ask anything of you. Flowing for 600 years under the surface, there are waters, low in sulfur and rich in lithium, that see their first light of day as they flow into the pools at their springs!
Campgrounds – Joshua Tree
There are many campsites in Joshua Tree that you can either pitch a tent on or park a vehicle on. With capacity restrictions, some require a reservation while others are first come first serve. Please check out the national park’s link above when planning to ensure a smooth trip! Enjoy peaceful time with nature, and enjoy the stars that are ever so clear in this area!
