I had a very nice camping experience at Cottonwood Campground. I attended the evening ranger-led discussion in the amphitheatre, and admired the stars. There is a water spigot with potable water, which may not be obvious in the campground description. I wanted to hike the trail from "B" loop to the Palm Oasis, but I wasn't sure about the length or terrain. I think that needed more information. The visitor's center is conveniently located near the campground and the volunteer staff member was super-helpful!

Angelinos don't seem to know much about camping. Last time I stayed at this campground someone poached my site saying his "just wouldn't work for him". This time a woman at a neighboring campsite who was camping in her sprinter van had equipment that she left during the day stolen by other campers who "didn't know if she was coming back and just left them". The rangers and park staff are overwhelmed and overworked and can not (and should not have to) police the campground. So come on campers; show some respect and be adults.

Clean / private / running water / flushable toilets. Everything was as or better than expected.

We arrived late at the campground, but orientation was pretty easy.The stars in the so have been amazing.Closeby is a nice hike to the mastodon peak that we did the next morning.

No internet / phone service available ( yeah!). The wind can be intense ( bring ear plugs). Bathrooms are very clean.

Campsites were spacious and fairly secluded (considering it's a desert). Plenty of spots to setup a tent.

Parking was very tight and we only have a 25 foot motorhome. Plus there were no Joshua tress, which we can specifically to see. We only stayed one of our two nights and moved on to the north side of the park to enjoy the trees for the day.

It was clean!

Bring your water, no hookups, nice dump station.
We come here for the warm weather. Upper sites are the best I think.
Avoid weekends, fairly close to the city. Our second night we had late arrivals that proceeded to be pretty loud till about 1am. But generally, this is a quiet nice campground.
Overall a great stop.

There are no hookups at Cottonwood, but the setting was "quintessentially desert". Our early November trip was quiet with warm days and cool nights. it was private enough because rigs are parked along the road. The night sky was lovely.
We hiked the small loop of the Cottonwood Springs trail, and thoroughly enjoyed the rocky outcroppings, lookouts to the Salton Sea and the old mine.

We had an excellent time at cottonwood campgrounds. The bathrooms were clean, the individual campsites were spread out perfectly, and the scenery was beautiful! The only thing Iād recommend is bringing an easy-up because there is no shade anywhere! But all in all, we are definitely coming back here!
@BarbaraN261 · Camped on Apr 5, 2021 at Campsite #B25
Had a great stay! Gusty winds the first day/night but the next night was still and clear. Perfect for viewing the stars. Definitely stay away from the chollas!
@RobertD958 · Camped on Mar 29, 2021 at Campsite #B25
Less people than the other entrances. Roomy sites.
@MichaelM945 · Camped on Mar 4, 2021 at Campsite #B25
Clean, quiet. Great hosts

Honestly we settled on this campground because it was the only one with an open spot that I could reserve. as a National Park we knew it would be a fine campground and it was as expected. It isn't the quintessential Joshua Tree campground since there are no Joshua Trees on this side of the park and the large rock formations are not part of the campground itself. That being said I promised my wife we could camp somewhere with running water for a change. Bathrooms were clean, rangers were nice and helpful. Would have loved a 11pm site check by the rangers to quiet up a couple groups but it wasn't excessive noise, just not the quiet of the desert. Sites are close together but not excessively so. Make sure to check the description of the site and what works at that particular location. We were on the B loop in the back and if you had an RV with anything other than a passenger side pop out it wouldn't have worked for you. The site description details that info. We had a 4 person tent and could have set up 3 more without a problem. The main park attractions are 30 minutes up the road, but the two hikes next to campground are worth doing, especially if this isn't your first trip to the park. I would stay here again if I couldn't get into one of the other campgrounds. Book way early if you want a weekend. I like how easy Recreation.gov is to use and find spots.

Nice camp site. Fire ring is a little close to the street but nice spot for a tent or two! Highly recommend.
