Weve stayed twice at Jumbo Rocks, so we decided to stay this time at Black Rock. Big mistake. The campsite was extremely off-level. The campground is a relatively long drive from most sights in Joshua Tree. And it wasnt particularly scenic. We were so dissatisfied we left early and camped outside Joshua Tree.

If you are here to see lots of Joshua Trees, this park is great. The staff are very kind and welcoming, which is nice. This campground is run by the park service, however it is a good 20 minute drive to the west entrance of the park, and about an hour from the north entrance - I wish this was made more clear in the park information when booking. Part of the fun of staying in a national park campground is to stay IN the park. The roads in this campground are in desperate need of maintenance, and the sites are not even close to level. The turns are very tight if you have a medium to large RV, but for a car or van they are okay. Next time I would either stay in one of the campgrounds in the actual park, or would pick a campground with hookups in the town of Yucca Valley or Joshua Tree if staying outside of the park.

We loved this campground. We camped in a 35ft fifth wheel. It was a tight fit. We stayed in site #17. In our opinion the only sites for our rig were 17, 9, 7 and 67. Lots of sun to charge up our solar in 17. There is a good slope so leveling is an issue but if you have a shovel just dig down a few inches on the high side and you shouldn't have an issue. Just fill the whole back up before you leave. This park was quiet, picturesque and had some wonderful trails to hike. Would definitely stay here again. The dump station isn't exactly level. It tilts to the outboard side so we didn't get completely empty but not really a big deal. Potable water is available at the dump station also. Propane is available at Tractor Supply in Yucca Valley and we were only 8 miles from the West entrance of the National Park. This was perfect as most of the hiking in the park was closer to this entrance.

Campground was neat and clean. Jim, the campground host was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean. The hiking was good. It was peaceful. Thanks for a great stay!

The roads in the campground really need a lot of attention. The price for the site made it bearable. I wish the staff that checked us in were more knowledgable about the area. They were very nice however. Good location next to the Park

I love Joshua Tree but when i booked the campground, i hadnt noticed it was for RVs so i was sandwiched between 2 big trailers and diesel fumes were annoying while folks were coming and going. I should have checked for a tents only area. But, i usually like this park a lot
