Thanks to your facilities built up nature friendly, I could have experienced the long lasting nature and good memories with my family.

I stayed here for two nights the week following Labor Day. Many of the sites were available, so not crowded at all which made for a relaxing time. Did a loop hike up to a high point right from the campground. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets in a desert environment.

Overall nice campground in a very scenic area. However, while there we experienced a lack of toilet paper in the mens restroom the entire time we were there, we left some for everyone when we departed. The lights in the restroom also were set on timers that didnt match the sunrise/sunset, with one tiny window, it made for dark conditions. Finally the parking. The campground is on a slope and the sites have not been leveled and have serious erosion rills and gullies due to lack of runoff controls. Made for leveling our rented RV quite difficult.

We enjoyed our trip and the hikes around this area. Its a bit of a drive into the main park area from here but a nice drive. With the limited generator hours it would be nice to have some electric site options, especially with long days out in the park, but we managed. It would also be helpful to have the roads be labeled and one way to help with the flow of traffic with big RVs. Our site was big and relatively flat (enough). Site 007.

Where to start? This was THE WORST campground Ive ever been to. Weve traveled from Canada to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I tried to take pictures, but the photos cannot capture the disaster of these roads and campsites. The campsites are washed out ruts. The roads are crumbling and holes that can damage your RV or car. The workers dont seem to care one way or another as long as they get their pay. Two camp hosts and both were off duty. Found the ranger sitting there smoking with the off duty camp host. The office though has a new coat of paint. The money allotted has NOT gone into maintenance. Ill put it in simple termsits a dump of a campground. No amenities, crumbling road, washed out rutted campsites. The only reason Im still here is because, surprise!.no refund policy. This place needs to be shut down for a major revamp.

Trails next to the park. The site was not leveled but we were aware when we reserved it.
Excellent

I really like this campground as it is close to town if you need anything or tired of camp food, lots of good restaurants. Also close to the entrances to Joshua Tree National Park. The trails that can be access from the campground are great as well. This campground can have high, gusty winds so be prepared. I have a tent trailer so always reserve a site with the pull through ability to save me from backing up.

We loved this site. It's close to everything. The town, shops and national park. It was a clean campground. Peaceful. Just perfect. Site 7 was great for our RV. The national park is beautiful and only about a 20 minute drive from this campsite. But also make sure to visit the Crochet museum, the bubble beauty salon museum, Pioneer Town, Pappy and Harriet's and all of the cute gift shops in Josua Tree.
Excellent

The infrastructure of the campground is pretty bad. Most sites are quite unlevel.

Very cool to camp amongst the Joshua trees. We even experienced some rare albeit ephemeral snow. Lovely! Bathrooms were ok other than no way to dry your hands. At least they had hand soap as thats not always a given. Fresh water fill and dump station in the campground is worth something. Other than this, it is difficult to understand where the $25/night is being invested. The roads in the campground are horrendous. No hookups. Site very uneven so very difficult to level. No firewood for sale on site. Would probably not stay again unless the price drops and/or significant improvements are made.

Although it was very difficult to make reservations, the staff was very helpful and professional. The camping at this area was very enjoyable and certainly will be back. There were many enjoyable hiking trails.

Nice clean campground. It does not have massive boulders like Jumbo rocks but still has beautiful landscape surrounding it. Easy access to Yucca Valley if you need a coffee and pastry in the morning!
@BrianM6776107 · Camped on Feb 14, 2022 at Campsite #7
Good location just entering the park. We stayed here because it was one of two options with a dump station. The dump station was clean and organized but I think that it should be free (instead of $5 per dump) with a stay. The campground is much larger than it looks on the map and there are many good sites.
@DonaldS2271497 · Camped on Jan 31, 2022 at Campsite #7
A great campground to base your JT trip. Sites were adequate for my 31 class C . Views were excellent
@MatthewS683247 · Camped on Jan 28, 2022 at Campsite #7
Great location, super helpful camp hosts and ranger staff. All for a minimal fee, definitely will be back!
@MaureenC982054 · Camped on Jan 25, 2022 at Campsite #7
Nice hiking out from the park. Sites were large. I think that people were discouraged by having to use the non existent internet to reserve a site.
@CraigH858 · Camped on Nov 28, 2021 at Campsite #7
I find Blackrock campground to be a very nice place to camp. Being close to Joshua Tree but far enough away to miss the park traffic. Also it has its own hiking and biking trails nearby.
@KarenG690 · Camped on Oct 11, 2021 at Campsite #7
Nice large campsites. Beautiful scenery! Water available.
Excellent
@KatieR354 · Camped on Aug 9, 2021 at Campsite #7
We were a disappointed that the sites where so uneven and the road in the campground was filled with potholes. We were happy to have water and dump station! We would go stay again.
