As a pioneering brand in hospitality, AutoCamp has revolutionized outdoor travel by redefining the iconic camping experience. Blending the traditional elements of sleeping under the stars with the service and design-forward thinking of a boutique hotel, each AutoCamp location creates a unique experience that encourages guests to immerse themselves in nature—without sacrificing the comforts of high-end accommodations. 

With seven distinct locations across the U.S., AutoCamp is more than just a place to stay—it's a gateway to vibrant local cultures and a hub for immersive experiences connecting guests to nature in meaningful ways. In a newly released video as part of the CBS News Brand Studio American Leaders Campaign, the team at AutoCamp Joshua Tree highlights the property's deep-rooted partnerships with local businesses, conservation groups and outdoor experts, offering visitors a chance to engage with Joshua Tree beyond its stunning landscapes.

From guided experiences with local rangers to educational discussions with the Mojave Desert Land Trust, AutoCamp Joshua Tree provides guests with opportunities to learn about and contribute to the region's preservation. Activities like stargazing, sound baths and yoga bring local experts to the property, equipping guests with tools and knowledge to explore the desert's unique ecosystem. By collaborating with the community, AutoCamp ensures that each visit is not just a getaway, but an experience that fosters a deeper appreciation for the people and history that make Joshua Tree so special.

"We're seeing a lot of trends that are pulling travelers to the outdoors," said Bryan Terzi, chief marketing officer at AutoCamp. "People are really realizing the wellness benefits of being outside, and the fact that AutoCamp is really in iconic outdoor destinations, whether it's close to national parks or just in beautiful landscapes like today at Joshua Tree. Guests and consumers are just wanting to connect to nature a lot more."

AutoCamp's commitment to sustainability is woven into every aspect of its operations. The dark-sky-compliant property minimizes light pollution to preserve the brilliance of the night sky, while a longstanding partnership with the Mojave Desert Land Trust promotes awareness around protecting fragile desert ecosystems, including the endangered Joshua trees. Additionally, the property's low-impact design ensures minimal disruption to the surrounding landscape, reinforcing AutoCamp's dedication to conservation for future generations.

"As a leader in the outdoor hospitality space, we really are here to create memorable and unforgettable experiences, while also promoting preservation of the spaces that we're in," said Amanda Wasnock, General Manager of AutoCamp Joshua Tree. "That's really done through our community-driven experiences, our thoughtfully designed spaces and also just a relaxing, calm sense of being within nature."

With its blend of boutique hospitality, outdoor adventure and community involvement, AutoCamp continues to redefine the modern travel experience. Whether guests are learning from local experts, participating in conservation efforts or simply unwinding beneath the desert sky, each stay is designed to create unforgettable memories while leaving a positive impact.
