The Prestead is a planned intentional community that seeks to grow on land for a few years before eventually moving onto a seastead.

The plan has existed in some form or another since 2019, and started becoming a reality in 2020.

Future plans include multiple types of housing in a desert community and a series of events for residents (“steaders”) and potential future residents (“prospects”).

As of Spring 2022, Camp Liberty consists of the following:

• Two acres (0.8 hectares) of land in White Hills, Arizona, located in a Joshua Tree forest in the Mojave Desert
• Dirt driveway and parking area
• 100 sqft covered storage
• Clean drinking water

• An extensive selection of hand tools and powertools for building things
• A sturdy 4WD SUV for driving around on dirt roads, off-roading, towing and hauling
