We stayed in site 57. Overall a nice campground with many sites nestled under the stands of Joshua trees. Be aware that the center sites (at least in vicinity of 57) are mostly open with no definition between sites. Great if your group wants multiple sites with communal area for the kids to run around, not so much of you are hoping for privacy.

Great campsite, spacious, but it is very close to the town of Yucca Valley (can see the city lights at night). This could be great for convenience to stores and restaurants but not as great for solitude in wilderness. Flush toilets were generally very clean.
Excellent

Great camping spot with friendly rangers to be of assistance!

This was our first time in the park, so we were unfamiliar with the layout of the campground. Site 57 was nestled in the middle and we had some neighbors on the loud side, but eventually everyone calmed down. There was a cluster of downed Joshua Trees so that helped to block some wind. We arrived after dark so finding the bathroom took some time. We were tenting, so we appreciated the picnic table.

Beautiful area. Joshua Trees in just about every site.

Great spot! Campgrounds are pretty close together but our neighbor helped us out twice so not necessarily a bad thing! Bathrooms got a little rough by the end of the weekend and we recommend something to hammer stakes in just in case. Our grill for our fire pit was broken but got the job done fine! Highly recommend, we will likely return.

Clean sites, easy check in and beautiful sunset! Trails from park were beautiful and not crowded. Great overall experience!

nice campground, although very windy. You have to drive out of the park to get into the main part of the park - so it's a bit out of the way.

Campsite restroom is clean and it’s good distance to Joshua NP. Will come back again.

Not great! Camp sights too close together and fellow campers inconsiderate of others. Bathrooms only moderately acceptable. After I left Black Rock I traveled to Anza Borrego State Park where I experienced a entirety enjoyable stay. The campground was clean and well maintained as were the bathrooms and showers. The difference between the two was like night and day!

The campground itself was quite nice. While there is not much physical separation between sites you are surrounded by Joshua Trees and other scrub brush. Everything was clean and functioning.

Great spot. If full I imagine it could be a bit loud with big groups staying up late.
Great shade from you guessed it - Joshua Trees.

The campsite was right on top of other sites (site # 57). If you do go, look for sites that are on the perimeter where you are not stacked up on top of each other. We were in the middle and about 10 feet away from neighbors on 3 sides. On the plus side, it's easy to get to and there are services very close by. The campsite bumps up against a neighborhood so it's definitely not the feel of camping in a National Park.
