Besides visiting the National Park - We enjoyed visiting the Saturday Farmer's Market in Joshua Tree by the Visitor's Center!

We had an awesome time! So many great hikes right from the campground, although all the social trails can make it a little difficult to find the official trailhead. Had 2 bars of AT&T. Stars at night even though it's close to town. Really loved seeing all of the big Joshua Trees -- they seem bigger and denser here than in the other parts of the park. Some of the roads in the campground are in really bad shape, although others have been fixed. SUPER busy on the weekends. Can't wait to go back someday!

Site was wonderful. Other campers ran their generators after hours.

Site measurements are completely wrong. Booked a site and then went back and realized it said it was too small for my RV, rebooked a new spot. when we went out there to stay the site I originally had and canceled was much larger than the new site I booked. sites are not level not even the handicap site. The office is closed at lunchtime. Therefore, the restrooms are also closed.

Sadly the facilities at black rock campground are suffering from lack of maintenance and improvements. It is obvious there has been little done on roads and buildings for years. The bathroom is an embarrassment. It is a shame that our country cant find the money to keep our national parks in decent condition.

Quite awesome!

This campground is beautiful! Has plenty of spots and perfect for a night amongst the Joshua trees.

Had to leave early due to incoming storm ??, nice and clean. It's outside of the Nat. Pk.

We have stayed at Black Rock Campground a number of times over the years. The staff are wonderful. The shop has field guides and maps. If you run out of an essential item the town of Yucca Valley has grocery stores (10 minutes away). Several wonderful hikes begin right at the campground. Our favorite campsites are the ones around the perimeter where you have uninterrupted views—especially the eastern edge of the campground. You are also away from the main crowds visiting the national park—but the rest of Joshua Tree is short drive away for more day hikes. 5 stars!

Very specific to my experience but it snowed and it was windy and it took an hour to get the tent up. Had to cook sausages in the tent. That was fine. But then the next day it was beautiful out as we were driving to pioneer town when my car broke down on the side of the road. Did not have cell service. had to get my car towed and my roommate drove two and a half hours to come pick me up and pack up our campsite. I then had to retrieve my car two days later by taking two busses, a train and I walked an hour and got sunburnt for a total of eight hours of travel time. Car is still very clunky. I will be back again. All the people except for us were having a great time.

Hiking trails were good, Joshua Trees all over so very beautiful. Sites are close together so noise from partiers was a bit of an issue.
