The national parks are WONDERFUL. A few small suggestions ... please indicate places where water is available to drink as well as wash more prominently. have more toilets (particularly useful for older visitors). Given the constraints the NPS works under you are doing a superb job.

Nice site! Be prepared as there are no showers or nearby places to restock on essentials. No cellular service which can be great to disconnect with tech during your visit, but not ideal for safety reasons out in such a desolate location. The fire rings dont appear to be well maintained, ours was almost full to the top with ashes. Cottonwood is the furthest site away from main attractions of Joshua Tree so its a good place to get away from crowds.

Its close to other campsites on all 3 sides. All the campsites in the inner loop are kinda congested. Very close to the toilet and water taps.

Away from everything. Takes a bit of a drive to get to. Great for viewing the sky. The trails around the area are nice to check out.
