Outdoor Spaces & Gathering Places

Under the Palo Verde tree
Hot Tubs
Sooth your weary self in luxurious comforting warmth
under the most amazing view of the stars. The spa is a great way to melt
your cares away.... and sometimes make new friends!
Fire Pit
"Fire Fox Fire
Pit"
Mostly popular at night, the Fire Fox (campfire pit) situated on
bluff overlooking the horizon, invites people to hang out, socialize,
and enjoy the night and stars above while the glow of the fire lights
and warms them. One never knows what can happen around a campfire. A man
with a guitar can entertain and encourage singing and jokes or crowd
with drums can invoke a frenzied naked dance! Fire
pit used is subject to approval by local fire department on a daily
basis due to seasonal fire hazards.
The Labyrinth
The Labyrinth sets amongst the desert "out-back" alone and
quiet. You may ponder it, ponder in it, walk its path, meditate in it, hold
a ritual or a "Heart Circle." Whatever spiritually moves you.
The labyrinth was created by a young man who went by the name of "Circa."
Naturism [YOU ARE HERE!]
Clothing is Optional
at Starland beyond doubt. Starland is nearly 100% private from it's
distant neighbors.
NATURISM AT STARLAND
Naturists are welcome to Starland. Starland is a
clothing-optional--wear as much or as little as you're comfortable
with.
Naturists: Bring a towel with you, and use it to sit upon. It is
hygienically considerate to do this, to help us protect our
chairs, sofas and other furniture.
When hiking outside of Starland, take a
backpack with clothing, sun-block, and water, or wear
minimal-coverage clothing (and a hat!) to hike the trails beyond
our fence-line. We'll provide directions to the secluded canyons
on public land near Starland.
Hiking
The are many places to hike to off Starland. Climb Mount Starland, Mount
Mohabee, or Mount Fugi, if you are really ambitious. You can be alone or
with friends. Crowds are never a problem in the Starland "outback."

Is allowed in designated areas.

Restaurants
Markets,
restaurants, gas stations, and others stores are not far down the road.
There's one "full" small market with fresh meats, produce, restaurant, and

Yucca Valley city proper.
