Just make sure to figure out where your site is before arriving or download a campground map. Signage is a bit lacking, and its easy to get lost among all the different loops.

There is no campground host. People had bright lights hanging in their campsite. Kids running around at 11p and blowing up mattresses at 11p. The bathrooms were out of toilet paper and soap. Theres no hand dryers or paper towels. The roads were in bad shape. My actual campsite was great. Love the park!

Great spot. Love that there was service and multiple bathrooms within walking distance. Great views, well kept area, and beautiful star gazing site.

Great location with easy access to Black Rock Canyon trails, which are some of the best ones in the park.

Clean bathrooms with flushing toilets. Spaced out sites with a fair amount of shade for the desert. Got windy at night but really enjoyed being nestled in with the Joshua Trees.

Very nice campground. Well kept. Great hiking trails right there. Short drive to town and good eating. Short drive to main park entrance. Camp host was helpful and friendly. Lotta local knowledge.

Stayed one night tent camping. Bathroom facilities were clean and it was great to have running water sinks and flushable toilets. It was nice that it was so close to the town of Joshua tree. If you want to camp near Joshua tree but don’t want to rough it, stay here. Site is 20 min away from park entrance.

I love this campground and the super accessible beautiful hikes. lovely. Easy access into a fun and interesting town as well. But I found a few of the people at the sites self centered. They listened to music, as if we wanted to hear what they were playing; they started their generators super early in the quiet morning; they talked loudly late into the night. So not as peaceful as it would be if everyone thought about their actions...
