Rental camping gear for Joshua Tree National Park
Browse our rental camp packages and/or supplement your camping gear with individual outdoor rental items. You can hire tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, camping lanterns, camp furniture, coolers and other camp kitchen gear - anything you need for a wonderful outdoor experience at Joshua Tree National Park.
Specifically for Joshua Tree National Park, we recommend getting a 3-season sleeping bag for the greater part of the year. But don't sleep there in summer - June, July, and August are typically too hot to handle! For the rest of the months, check the weather forecast prior to heading out. If temperatures fall to below 50°F, opt for a warmer sleeping bag or consider investing in a sleeping bag liner. In winter and the shoulder seasons, if temperatures fall below 30°F, rent a winter sleeping bag. All of our rental sleeping pads are insulated for all season use.
You should also consider supplementing your rental items with a water jug. The only place to fill up on potable water is at the visitor centers outside of the park. If you're a rock climber, you may want to rent a bouldering crash pad for your trip to Joshua Tree.
