Its a beautiful spot with huge boulders. We set by the firepit at night under sky full of stars. In the morning we climb the boulders to the top, kids had a fun unique experience

Amazing background- pitch your tent with a backdrop of gigantic boulders. I dont think there was potable water at campground-so be sure to bring water

Love this campground, Ive been solo camping and group camping here for a few years now and still my favorite place. So so safe, good space between camps and so many stars!
@RobelleM162127 · Camped on Dec 21, 2025 at Campsite #79
Well-spaced camp sites with amazing views. Easy to find. We had a wonderful winter trip.
@JohnD1553494 · Camped on Dec 21, 2025 at Campsite #25
This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed - the scenery is almost hard to comprehend - is in 3D CGI or is it real-life - I am still not sure. Good size spaces (I have a 22'), although some of the spots, for longer rigs may be tough. There are pull thru sites. Definitely recommend!

We stayed in site 61 with our 25ft Airstream travel trailer. I don't think that any length of travel trailer could really get into this site facing the "correct" direction of traffic for the campground loop. It's the last site on the loop, so we came in the "wrong" way and had plenty of room, and then backed back down the road when we went to leave. It was pretty easy to navigate once we figured out how we could get into the site. The site is pretty unlevel side-to-side but the views were so incredible that we didn't mind. We just did our best with leveling ramps and then called it good. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great campground, a lot of camp spots are not even close to being level. If that's not a concern then all the camp spots are great.
@JuanGD9E4E0F0D · Camped on Dec 19, 2025 at Campsite #55
We stayed at campsite 55, we liked the spot but its a bit small and very close to neighbors. We slept in a RTT, there was not a level spot unless you pitched in parking area. The parking was very spacious and we had plenty of room between us and the neighbors. Views were amazing and our kids loved the stargazing. Very close to restrooms but they needed some attention, the smell was almost unbearable. We went into the park and used the restrooms at split rock and they smelled great compared to the ones at the campground. Other than that it was great experience, we will be back to this campground again.

Campsites are very good, staff was awesome.
@LillianL61D153 · Camped on Dec 15, 2025 at Campsite #86
The ranger office on the campground was closed, but I called the alternative number left in the voicemail and they were very helpful. The camp site and bathroom was clean. I had a great time. Happy holidays!

Peaceful nature at its best
@BernieC1957EDC · Camped on Dec 12, 2025 at Campsite #15
Lovely small camping spot
@OrianaC1DE4ED8 · Camped on Dec 12, 2025 at Campsite #29
Fantastic spot to camp and climb, but unfortunately the previous campers or maybe climbers decided to deffecate on our camp site having a bathroom nearby. Twice. Huge mounds of feces. Told the rangers who were checking camp tags, but they said they don't take care of that at all. Maybe someone should.
@AlexisCBC09A62 · Camped on Dec 12, 2025 at Campsite #6
We stayed at campsite 6. Very spacious campsite that fit our 10 person tent just fine. Such beautiful rock landscape and we had good amount of privacy too. Just right in front of a bathroom too
@SandyLB1D4C8CB · Camped on Dec 11, 2025 at Campsite #72
One of our favorite campsites.
@SabrinaV557F14 · Camped on Dec 10, 2025 at Campsite #80
Overall very scenic and beautiful. Many stars to watch at night. I wish it was more ADA friendly.
@STEVENM2892720 · Camped on Dec 8, 2025 at Campsite #7
Our stay was during December when the weather was mild. There was plenty of availability which was nice. There was day use mixed in with the campground which made it busy during the day with cars and people coming and going through the campground but after sunset things quieted down.
@SusanL2820892 · Camped on Dec 2, 2025 at Campsite #10
Love it here. Quiet, clean & well placed dumpsters.

@tomn1568100 · Camped on Nov 30, 2025 at Campsite #25
We really enjoyed our stay at Indian Cove Campground. Its conveniently located near 29 Palms and the north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park
@DanielS7047089 · Camped on Nov 29, 2025 at Campsite #80
The site is tight on parking as described. There is a little room on the other side of the road.Very close to site 79.Its fine in a pinch, but I would look at other spots first.
@RobertA1820332 · Camped on Nov 28, 2025 at Campsite #12
Site 12 was a great spot, definitely fit 2 cars. Close to parking lot and close enough to the bathroom. Plenty of room to set up camp as well.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
