The campground is not up to standards of most national parks we have visited in other areas of the USA. The vista's are fantastic and the scenic road through the park is very good. The campgrounds along that route had decent roads through them. However the black rock campground even with water and modern restrooms had the worst roads for the loops. Bad enough to make walking on them in the dark a real adventure.

The roads in the campground were abysmal. Boon-docking off road would be better. The campsite was so sloped that it was difficult to get the trailer anywhere near level. The rest of Joshua Tree is just beautiful. Everywhere you go in the park is full of amazing sites and great hiking trails.

Red ants and tons of bugs at night, but that's the experience right? Great campground. Nice bathrooms. The set up is perfect. Best campground in the park.

This is a perfect place to relax after a long flight and the take over of the RV.

Great experience.

Although Joshua Tree NP is amazing, our campground was pathetic. Terribly ruted dangerous roads to campsites, bathrooms had no hot water, toilet paper, soap, and were filthy. Mentioned bathroom problems to employee and he agreed, saying it's been a problem for awhile.

The campground could actually be quite nice if the bathrooms and roads/driveways would get a major makeover. Evidently the latest rain storms created some scary ruts and pavement damage. On the upside, the campground is a great base camp for a lot of interesting hikes.

The campground is in a corner of Joshua Tree National Park. Other than a few hiking trails it is largely isolated from the rest of the park. You have to drive several miles east on CA 62 to find an entrance to the park that you can drive through.

Best campground to visit Joshua Tree NP. We will stay again.

If you are new to camping, this campground might be a good choice. But my wife and I avoid campgrounds and prefer to go to remote areas to spend the time outdoors. The campground was your typical campground with people building fires without needing them other than just having a campfire. The smoke from their fires floated over our site. There were noisy campers wanting to share their loud music with everyone. It was the typical Instagram crowd who cared nothing about the outdoors other than taking their pictures to show everyone what an outdoor adventurer they are.If you are a first-time visitor to the campground, don't go there when it's dark, you'll get lost as the place is badly signaged. Go there during the daytime. The town of Yucca Valley is about 5 miles away if you need supplies, restaurants, gas, etc.We'll avoid the campground as well as other campgrounds in the future.

Campsites not very level for RV,,,,blacktop roads in campground not well maintained. No spectacular views from campground as there are other campgrounds further in the park.

I loved Black Rock campground. You are surrounded by Joshua Trees, have good space at each site, and the bathrooms are nice, spacious, and clean. Beautiful stargazing at night! Also love the campground access to some great hiking trails. Highly recommend the Panorama loop!

Very nice setting and friendly staff

The sites each were a generous size. The road inside the campground is in terrible condition: huge potholes.

Nice campground with clean flash bathroom, RV dump station, water close by our camp site. Free internet at nature center is very nice to have. We did RV camping there for four nights in early November and kept us really busy exploring/hiking at the Joshua Tree NP. Untold the secret is you can do dispersed camping at BLM land at cottonwood entry for free. That is what we did. On the last day after we enjoyed the park we stayed at BLM land that night for free. Some of our favorite hikes are Mt Ryan, Wall street mine, 49 palms oasis, Hidden valley. For driving tour Keys, skull rock, Oasis of Mara, cottonwood spring and Cactus Garden. There are tone of exhibit panels all around the park. So while you enjoy the park and you also learn a lot about the park. Highly recommended

We’ve stayed at Blackrock 4 or 5 times in the last couple of years. Although there aren’t any hook ups available, if you’re prepared for this, it’s a great place to stay when visiting Joshua Tree NP. It feels remote but is only a few minutes from town (Yucca Valley). Beautiful desert vistas and relaxing evenings.
