There were very few signs indicating campsites( ie. 21 - 29). The roads to sites very pitted out. Liked the Bbq stands. Bathrooms in good shape and clean.

Great, large sites with loads of nearby hiking. Our site was not flat, bring your levelers.

We love this campground and go often. This time men's room was locked for part of it.

Great Campground with friendly rangers that check you in. Water sources and flushable toilets on the premises. Amazing to see some stars during the night. Startet from here to visit Joshua Tree the next day.

Beautiful campground filled with yoshua trees. Great views, nice and clean restrooms. We knew there were no showers but that would have been nice. Communications were very good in advance and on the campground but regulations were not kept and we ended up one night with people playing loud music till 1 am and having open fires on the campground despite the fireban. There was no host to turn to at the campground. The other two nights were nice and quiet with beautiful stars.

Great site! Beautiful views! Spacious site but close to others that you can hear them. Bathrooms were very clean, good lighting and not far from site, fire rings are pretty low so the desert wind kept blowing out my fire. Other than that, great experience! Highly recommend

I had a good time with my family. The night sky is especially beautiful. There are many trails around the campground, making it a great place for adventure.
First, Annie got a small thorn stuck in her head while playing near Joshua Tree, and had to come to her house to remove it. So my kid's nickname became 'the one who wears the Joshua tree in his hair'.

The campground is in a lovely setting with hiking trails close by and also town amenities. Our site was workable for a trailer, but we were warned that trailers did not fit in all the sites. The campground roads are rutted and worn with lots of weather damage. Signage is quite confusing when you enter, making it difficult to find your space and find where you would look for it. Camp host could have been a bit more helpful when were were looking for a place to take on water. Dump station worked well though. However, for all that, we had a nice stay and would return now that we understand the layout.

Beautiful location among Joshua trees; Large campsites, which is the case in most National Parks. Roads to the campsites (esp 58) needs repair after the rains, was bit difficult with our RV. Good access to common dump, water. Plenty of trails nearby.

Nice campground. Quiet during the week in late November. Roads are rough. Technically inside JTMP, but outside of the main gates.

Ranger Jim was awesome and its a very special place. Ive been two weekends in a row. Thank you.

Great, spacious campgrounds! Facilities were very clean and water was accessible. A really nice location if you want to experience Joshua Tree but not venture too far into the park. Its pretty dark at night so finding the campsite can be tricky. Download a map if coming later.

It was a amazing good experience coming here even tho we only spent 1 night here it was fun. We did a little bit of a hike which the kids enjoyed a lot and its beautiful

Gorgeous amazing campground. People were respectful and friendly. Great campground hosts and NPS staff who went out of their way so a friend could camp next to us.

We have been here many times and love it! This time it snowed, which added to the beauty and magic of this place. The bathrooms are clean. We love the Panoramic Loop trail.
@GeorgeJ422 · Camped on Jan 2, 2022 at Campsite #24
Camp ground was beautiful. BUT they need to take a little time with a tractor and level some pads. Our little trailer was on an angle and really hard to try and cook in. If it were summer there would be no problem, but this time of year it was cold out side. So, we moved to an RV park near town for the next couple of days. The park was great I loved our visit.

Campground was very nice, very clean bathrooms! We went in the spring and the wind was kinda crazy at night, it was very quiet and the campsites were very spacious. but all in all it was a great trip! Showers would be nice but thats probably why they dont charge an entrance fee,and the hikes were amazing! The staff was great!

Black Rock is an excellent location to access many of the park’s featured sites.
In late March, it was very windy many days; bring appropriate gear (warm hat, neck warmth , mittens or gloves, layers & a windbreaker) to be warm in the morning. The greatest challenge is keeping a camp stove flame lit & protected from the wind. If you bring a backpacking stove, like me, fashion at home your own very tall windbreak. I had to hunker down behind a fire ring to improve my windbreak. Coleman stoves with fold-up lids seemed to be more successful.
In March & April, desert temps drop quickly when the sun goes down. Bring layers, including hats, gloves or mittens, and a neck gaiter or scarf.
Birders: watch for a flock of Pinyon Jays to fly over. Cactus Wrens & Western Scrub Jays are frequent visitors. Ask the ranger staff for more recommendations.
