We enjoyed staying here. Flushing toilets (but they were never cleaned during the three days we were there, and there was obvious poop on the floor in one stall out of three). Amazingly the bathrooms smelled good (?) and had sinks as well but no soap. We were tent camping and we had only tents around us. I was worried about hearing generators but there were none. We got to chat with the other campers and they were cool. It was 30 min drive to Joshua Tree. It was colder than expected, brought extra sleeping bags and blankets and used them all. Two days were windy and one was perfect. The little camp store had cute stickers and nice paintings. The spot was a nice size, we had a big 6 person tent, a one person tent, a truck and a forerunner (5 people) and had plenty of room. Fire ring and picnic table were nice. If I had it to do over again, Id try for a spot in the rocks like Jumbo Rocks because of persistent wind. Got the spot using Hip Camp alerts.

Enjoyed the campground. Bathrooms were clean. However, rain caused my campsite to erode and caused a trench that had to be crossed to park. Also, blonde female camphost presented racist behavior.
No Service

The staff at the check in desk was just short of rude, and really made for an unpleasant start to the visit.The section of campground where I stayed was a jumble of spots and tables and truly no space or privacy between spots. It was more like a group campsite.The bath room was clean and well stocked, but I would not choose this campground again- its a graceless site.

Pretty far outside of the interior main campsites but great for 1st time campers. Lots of small hikes and Walmart is only a 10 minute drive away.

Joshua Tree NP is a great place to visit - great hiking and beautiful drives. Campground was nice, easy in and out. Water and dump station was convenient. We would stay again if going to the area again.

We really enjoyed our trip to Joshua Tree - the campground was wonderful and it was close to all the park attractions we wanted to see (while in the park its not connected so you will have to drive). We used a tent to camp and found all accommodations to be wonderful!

We were car camping. Fun multi generational campground. Easy access into park

Beautiful location and well-kept park
@EdenH887 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #5
Although there was nothing wrong with the camp site itself, I hadn't realized how insanely close the camp site was to people's houses in a neighborhood bordering the park. I didn't feel like I was really in nature and actually ended up leaving to get an open site elsewhere in the park that night. Warning to others if you are going to camp here: this is NOT a very remote location, it has full cell service and everything. If that is your ideal, then by all means book these sites. The individual sites themselves seem perfectly decent, with nearby Joshua trees in view

Though it can get windy, the campground is well-appointed with nice-sized sites, great hiking nearby, and friendly hosts!

Great campground! Sites are a bit close together but it's nice that there are joshua trees throughout. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

Great camping spot, very clean and well stocked restrooms. Signage to get out of the campground would be helpful. Stars are pretty. Coyotes in the area.

While I like the campground but you miss the isolation from the city. City lights are not fun. I loved Panorama trail hike. Facilities are nice. A little confusing camp ground..
