Travel Diary: Hicksville Trailer Palace

I somehow found myself in the desert twice in August, both in pursuit of a killer time. During my last stint (aka this past weekend) I went to the Hicksville Tailer Palace and let's just say that Hicksville isn't your normal trailer park. We're talking tricked out trailers in the cutest little park in the middle of NOWHERE. It was bananas, total sensory overload! 

On Saturday AM we packed up the fire ball, bikinis, and some burgers and drove towards Joshua Tree. The best part is that Hicksville has no address and guests are forbidden to geotag the location on any social media platform (I almost died!!)

what to expect: 

Awesomeness. Each trailer has its own theme that dictates the outside and inside decor. In true glamping spirit they are all equipped with AC and heat, thank goodness! The boy and I stayed in the Pee Wee (see pic below) which was actually a trailer in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. There were 15 of us total and we rented out 90% of the "palace" which is totally the way to go... we ran the place.

there are no:

- indoor showers 

- individual toilets

- stoves

there are: 

- fun things like bb guns, bow + arrows, teepees, and mini golf

- the expected amenities like pool, hot tub, and fire pits

bring:

- an open mind, lots of booze, and water (especially in the summer)

- food to grill + self lighting charcoals (a must!)

- friends!

- a polaroid camera (I forgot mine)

We partied pretty hard (as evidence by my snapchat), so the morning after was very very quiet. Nothing like enjoying a cup of coffee in the middle of the dessert wearing your new one-piece! #takemeback

Until next time, Hicksville.  Btw, the best way to really get a sense of the place is by looking at the hashtag on IG #hicksvilletrailerpalace - isn't it awesome? Tweet at me (@pursuitofshoes) if you have any Qs about renting, packing, etc. I'm obsessed and would encourage everyone to check it out!
