Very nice campground. It was not crowded. #86 is a good spot but is close to #73, so Id be perfect for a bigger family to have both sites. Wed stay here again.

The map is misleading. It shows our campsite on the right side of the map but its actually on the left side and very close to #71. Not what I was expecting at all. If you are looking for a little privacy dont choose this site. This site is perfect if you want to group up with site #71 for a bigger group. Other than that our stay was wonderful and I give thanks to our neighbors who were very kind campers and generous but that might not be the case for everyone. Also a big plus was how quiet and peaceful it got at curfew everyone was very considerate. The restrooms were a small walk away and very clean. The picnic table is big and it has a fire pit as well as a grill. I would definitely come back and camp again just at a different site.
Excellent

Major Issues
@BillyD1113950· Camped on Apr 14, 2023 at Campsite #86
Site we camped on was not level, but we did not read the description. Close to the city so a little light polution. Clean restroom and campground.
Good

This is a beautiful campground. Although it is outside of the park, this campground is convenient, close to town, and shows a side of Joshua Tree that is different from inside the park. We spent one night here, and enjoyed star watching and listening to the owls and coyotes. The site was clean, quiet, and have the convenience of running water and clean bathrooms.

My fire pit/table was less than ten feet from one of the three campsites that bordered it with no barrier at all. Also state of California mandates a 5foot buffer around a fire pit and mine had dry brush less than two feet away. I filed a complaint, would think that Californians would take wildfires seriously! On a good note the bathroom i used was clean :)

Nice sites. Nice hosts and rangers. Would be great if they had showers
@RichardG179702· Camped on Feb 26, 2022 at Campsite #86
Checking in was easy to do and the rangers were very helpful. The camp sites were clean and ready for use upon arrival and the toilets were plenty, lit and clean. The nearby trails were clearly marked and maintained. Campsite staff roved the area checking for issues and the curfew period was observed and enforced. Overall, a great time.

The facility is good but very cold and windy. Be prepared if you are coming here in December or January
@JeremyW387· Camped on Nov 26, 2021 at Campsite #86
Two large groups near us were being very loud into the early morning (3-4am). One group wasn't even camping at their site, they just came out there to party! It was terrible.
@YardenM942· Camped on Nov 21, 2021 at Campsite #86
not all the water points were working. and the road is pretty bad in the campground. sight was not leveled anywhere and our tent was on a significant incline :( fire pit is far from the table
Good

Nice campground. Great sunrise. Finding you campsite can be challenging because (a) many are not well marked, and (b) the campsite map has north pointing down, and south up (a little odd).
