Great campground, away from the crowds but near good scenery. Try to get a campground on the outer perimeter but either way its a nice site

We had an awesome stay at Black Rock. The campground was only about 30% occupied and pretty chill. Our favorite hike in Joshua Tree was to Warren Peak, right in BR’s backyard. We had amazing sunsets and sunrises to enjoy, owls and coyotes were chatty through through the night, and the staff at the nature center were friendly and helpful. The bathroom facilities could use a bit of an update. All in all, we had a great experience!

Woke up to Joshua Trees and a beautiful view! Good/OK cellular signal not available in other parts of the park. Great base camp.

The campgrounds were beautiful! Lovely views of the unique Joshua trees and desert surrounding the site. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with toilet paper. There were plenty of trash cans, recycling bins and potable water pumps around the site. I have Verizon and cell service was low but usable in an emergency!

Great location since it was close by stores so we did not have to worry about stuff that we might have forgotten. It was also a quiet location and great spot for stargazing. Great amenities in the campground and the bathrooms were very clean. The only thing that was missing is a sink/sink room where we could have gotten rid of compost waste and wash our dishes.

Good sized campsites, easy to find and probably the only place in Joshua Tree that has cell reception because it’s detached from the rest of the park.

Beautiful campground. Loved it.

Sort of an isolated campground area away from the main parts of the park.

Number 49 was a great spot - tucked away and not too far from the site amenities.

The wind was terrible. Knocked over my tents. Sent us scrambling for shelter.

Enough space between campgrounds and clean bathrooms! This campground is on the edge of the park but still a beautiful space to star gaze and relax.
