Mountainous vacation views. Peaceful desert skies. Incredible sunsets and sunrises.
This land is located just over the mountain butte range. In the distance, you can still see the snowy mountains of the Angeles forest, majestic and beautiful. There are mountain ranges to the east, west, and south. The north boasts the best starry night sky.
It is normally extremely silent, but on occasion you will hear a distant gas generator, a faraway rave, someone shooting fireworks/guns, or a very low airplane.
You will be able to see clear skies, panoramic mountains in the distance, and pure desert horizons without any main roads, buildings, or city obstructions.
Our land is a stargazers' paradise.
Where You'll Sleep
- 1 Full Bamboo Mattress
- Extra: 1 Full Foldable Mattress
During the day, the bed leans against the wall so that you have ample room to move around on the skoolie.
At night, bring the bed down onto the floor for a roomy sleeping arrangement.

Perfect, Unique Off-The-Grid Escape
We can't express how thankful we were to Billimarie the host for welcoming us into the magical space she has created. The Starry Night Skoolie was the perfect place to get off the grid to celebrate our sons 5th B-day! The amenities she included made the trip especially pleasant. It was so special for our son to be able to plant a tree in honor of his 5th Birthday! We can't wait to come back to see how his mulberry tree is growing as he continues to grow along side of it!
Toddler Slept Like A Log!
Billimarie had such a lovely place. It is a nice private getaway from the city. We had everything we needed there. She communicated with us to ensure we had a comfortable stay and was always responsive if we had any questions. Her Skoolie had so many books and the bamboo mattress was so warm and comfortable that my toddler wouldn't wake up. Thank you for being such a great host!
Skoolie with our Kids
We loved the skoolie. The environment (especially the starry night sky) was magnificent. Our kids (6 & 3) played around and had the time of their life. The skoolie has everything you need in it. The place was easy to find as we received a very clear description before our arrival. We did not meet Billimarie, but the contact with her was flawless and very very friendly. Wifi at the place was super fast!
Fun Night Under the Stars
We had such a fun day, I wish we could have stayed longer! Billimarie was very easy to communicate with, she was very prompt. The bus has all the essentials you might need. Bed was super comfy. It was also nice to see my tween unplug and learn essential tools such as building a fire and my city raised dog loved running freely, she didn't know what to make of it at first! And the stars were bright! I will say the time we went was windy, but it finally died down around 10 pm and was not windy the next morning. I really enjoyed that the cute school bus was completely self sufficient and eco conscious. It proved to me we can and should be more mindful of our footprint. I am looking forward to coming back and seeing this eclectic rental grow. Thank you again, Billimarie
Fun Night Under the Stars
The Skoolie was a fun place to glamp. It had all the convinience we needed, a working kitchen, comfortable mattress, and clean bathroom. But what stood out was two things: 1. The host: Billimarie is a kind and thoughtful host. We came after a loss of a friend & she left us a heartfelt card and ancient grains to spread to honor our friend. 2 The place itself: it is the space we needed for what our intentions were for the weekend, a place in nature to rest & rejuvinate with peace and quiet. We got to enjoy watching the sunrise, sunset & watch the beautiful sky filled with stars. Thank you for hosting us. Til the next time.

Unique Family Memory
Our family loved staying on the Starry Night Skoolie! Billimarie was such a wonderful host, going to lengths to communicate with us and ensure everything was set up to make our stay a great one. The kids absolutely loved exploring the bud and the property, and we're so glad we were able to experience an amazing night of stars there, too!

AMAZING!!!!!
This was a wonderful stay for me. Peaceful & quiet with amazing views of the stars and mountains in the distance. Billimarie was a stellar host who was accommodating, friendly and unbelievably quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. I felt extremely welcomed and comfortable at her skoolie! The bus itself had everything I needed and more. I would 100% recommend this spot to anyone trying to escape the city. I will most certainly be returning and look forward to it.
Thank you Billimarie, I'm very satisfied with my stay. It was everything I could ask for!!!

Truly a Starry Night at the Skoolie
My boyfriend and I spent our anniversary weekend at the skoolie and we're so glad to have found this listing because we absolutely loved our time here, albeit too short. Billimarie's hospitality was above and beyond and you can tell how compassionate she is about the skoolie and the land. Everything was so neat and cozy - we wished we could've stayed longer! We took our kitties with us, and they both already felt like home so we highly recommend the skoolie for other cat parents with adventurous felines. We also had the chance to play with puppies they're currently fostering, which was a cute way to end our trip. Lastly, don't forget to look up at the stars. Luckily, we had a clear night sky and were able to look up at the stars.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely plan on coming back in the future. Thanks for making our first Hipcamp experience one to remember!

Starry Night Skoolie Review
Our family of 4 (with our 7yo and 3yo) had so much fun sleeping in Billimarie's amazing skoolie - there were so many amazing details and fun touches, like a pink typewriter, a propane stove in the kitchen drawer, and decor that told stories. Billimarie was camping with her mother and daughter on the property and it was wonderful experiencing their generous hospitality, eating together, roasting marshmallows and watching the kids play with each other while Billimarie and her mother cared for their rescue dogs. Billimarie was a responsive and friendly host, and it was incredible to hear her story and vision for the land to reforest it. My son even got to help plant a new tree among the young olives and pines (one even had sprouted a pinecone! In the desert!). Thanks for the memories!

Starry Night Skoolie Review
I LOVE the trees planted everywhere. I wish every Airbnb place did something as thoughtful as this host has. A++
Great spot to unplug from everything and just relax. The locals seem nice even though it's in a remote area.
Kitchen in bus is nice, great shelves for food that pull out, strings of lights everywhere!! Wood floors throughout, and lots of windows to sit and ponder out into the desert. While it doesn't have every modern amenity, it has loads of peaceful solitude. I woke up in the mornings unusually relaxed, and really enjoyed the desert sunrise.
The location isn't more than 15 minutes away from a gas station with a great selection of all the basics, and a great little Mexican food restaurant with great dinners and DESSERTS! If you drive 30 minutes you have malls, and every restaurant you could think of. Barnes and Nobles, Jamba Juice, Boba Tea, Yoga, Gyms, Sprouts market, Target, etc.
This is a cozy, farm style stay, with LOTS of charm, and great wifi!
Excellent Host!!
