Was exactly as described. Added bonus was the mastodon (sic) walk just at back door

This site would have gotten five stars but there were several guests who didnt understand how to abide by the generator use hours.

The trash cans were overflowing, but everything else was wonderful.

Family-friendly campsite. Well maintained. Big enough for 2-3 2-person tents and only a 15min drive to the I-10 highway. There's flushing toilet and sink. The best part is they keep a bottle of hand soap there for people to use. Very thoughtful!

Some sites are too narrow for slide outs.

We really like Cottonwood Campground because its quiet and less crowded than the other campgrounds in Joshua Tree NP, but close enough to enjoy the entire park. Plus it takes reservations, which we need with our 25 trailer.

Great location in the heart of Joshua Tree national park . If you want to be out in the middle of nowhere then this is for you. Great price too

Nice park, clean, great location for hiking, nice people!

Great campground in Joshua National Park. Tenters beware. Generators are allowed so the noise can be annoying at times. Bathrooms were clean. Views were beautiful.
@BarbaraJ478 · Camped on Jan 14, 2022 at Campsite #A4
Excellent nearby hiking. Clean bathrooms, flush toilets, fairly quiet. Easy in and out.

Beautiful, quite lactation. Make sure to drive through Joshua Park before leaving.

Five stars is for clean camping spot. Five stars for wonderful star filled skies. Wasn’t so happy with other campers. RV running generator all night and other group very loud with flashlights they kept shining on other camp spots.

Beautiful trail right at campsite
@DavidT957 · Camped on Mar 5, 2021 at Campsite #A4
Campground was great! People were nice. Facilities were clean! No cell phone service was a bummer.

Tight fit for RVs but amazing views. Very clean
@GaryM352 · Camped on Feb 21, 2021 at Campsite #A4
Nice campground but very tight for large vehicles. The pull through sites do not allow for slide-outs to be extended on the drivers side, back-in sites do, but, can be tough to get into if a large vehicle is in the pull though site across from it. but all this is contained in the site descriptions, so, be sure to read for the site you want to stay in. Well suited for smaller vehicles and good tent sites. Good facilities, great hiking base location.

Great location to the explore the park. Close to the visitors center to get information. Appreciated the clean bathrooms that had soap and the quiet peaceful campground! Definitely review the site length to make sure your rig will fit as the sites are all different.
@DavidL943 · Camped on Feb 12, 2021 at Campsite #A4
Sites at this campground are smaller than average and pads are not level. A truck and trailer with slide don't fit in most of the pull throughs. Restrooms are small, especially where socially distancing is required. Need a trail from the campground to the visitor center. Dump station is decent, but weird set up for putting water in RV tank.
