This Shell station sits at the gateway to Joshua Tree National Park’s north entrance, making it the final fuel stop for overlanders heading into the desert. Full-service station with diesel, propane, snacks, and basic automotive supplies. Gets busy on weekends with Joshua Tree visitors, but rarely has long waits. Open 24/7 year-round.
Located right on Utah Trail (CA-62) in the heart of Twentynine Palms. Easy access for rigs of any size, with plenty of room to maneuver. Stock up here if you’re planning extended time in the backcountry around Johnson Valley or the Mojave National Preserve.
