I was camping in fishbowl. there was literally nowhere to go to be unseen. Apparently all the party people from LA come here and party and play music and put on a ton of lights and are loud well past 10 o'clock.. the restrooms weren't close and then I was told by the Ranger not to put any water except in the restroom sink. Sorry, but I'm I'm all about leave. No trace but that's excessive to walk to a restroom which is normal near my campsite to simply dump a slightly bit of use water no toxins OK. . Anyway, it's a decent location kind of outside of town and there are nice trails, but I'm not coming back to Joshua tree anytime soon. I'll find something more private. peaceful experience. I mean on Sunday the campground was empty and some dude rolled up and next to my campsite with all his lights and party music . He had the whole campsite to choose from. Why didn't he pick one that nobody was next to him?? I enjoyed the park and I also did some hiking in Whitewater, which is actually pretty cool. I don't know why they allow loud music in the campground. I mean why allow music at all . But I guess it'd probably be hard to enforce with the crowd there. There is also a decent trail adjacent to the campground. Bathrooms, where fine but not super close to me anyway..

Roads are trashed, no signage to display where your site is. If plan on arriving after dark, I suggest you take a screenshot of the campground map beforehand so you can follow that to your site. Otherwise you will be driving throughout the campsite looking for your spot. Our site did not have a single flat spot so we were sliding while sleeping the whole night. Facilities were nice though.

It is a peaceful place with some great vibes like the area. The rangers were all nice and helpful. My only issue is it is very hard to get a flat camp site. And even with risers, it is never really flat. Can't beat the senior price though.

Fantastic campsite, filled with Joshua Trees and close to some incredible hiking trails. Bathrooms have running water and there is drinkable water throughout the campsite. Can get quite cold at night, since this is at a higher elevation, so plan accordingly. The campground is technically on Joshua Tree National Park but is outside of the park gate. Overall, I recommend this site and would definitely come back!

Beautiful campground just outside of Joshua Tree NP entrance. Clean facilities, nice trails and sites with great views of the valley.

Love this campsite! Beautiful grounds with many different sized Joshua trees, some very big and picturesque! Clean bathrooms and many trash and recycling bins for our convenience. A nature center near the entrance as well with friendly staff.
Nearby, Pioneer Town is a must see as well. Many western films were filmed there and it’s a great place to go spend a quick half hour and fun spot for pictures.
I highly recommend Black Rock campsite!
