Appreciated the campground amenities. But etiquette was lacking. Folks were walking through other people's campsites (including ours) to go to the bathroom and get water. Two groups near us were playing music during quiet hours, and one group was particularly loud during quiet hours. Another group left plastic water jugs unsecured such that they blew across the campgrounds (and weren't retrieved) when high winds occurred. And another group of kids tried taking absent campers' firewood without permission.

It was an outstanding experience, especially for a first-time camper like me. Flushing toilets, proximity to the Nature Center, and the camping ground not too far away from the city were added benefits. It would have been nice if the fellow campers were quieter in the middle of the night - some monitoring there would have been nice. One of the generators was on in the middle of the night, which was annoying.

Black Rock campground is WAY to crowded due to the close spacing of the sites. Our neighbors were less than 10 feet from us on both sides. You need to build more campsites at Joshua Tree. Obviously people love to camp here.

My stay at Black Rock Campground was lovely. Though there are no showers, the campground has running water, bathrooms, and cell service which was helpful as I did try to get a bit of work done on data while visiting. Overall, the space is really nice, and the campground is connected to some interesting trails, which are really as long or short as you'd like your hike to be. Do note that it can get quite windy in the area, and chilly overnight - so much so that a hot day can feel quite cold at the site - so make sure to bring layers!

Pretty packed and difficult to navigate via car. Very windy at end of April. But a nice campsite
