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.
@ShireeNE363D51 · Camped on Nov 25, 2025 at Campsite #99
Great spot hidden around the rocks. expect a small walk to and from car. pack a wagon if you have one :))
@DanielS7047089 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #45
Smaller spot, but the parking pad is flat enough for a van. The tent pad is pretty close to the road, but perfectly flat. Some shade offered by the rocks.
@DanielS7047089 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #44
A unique campground overall, and this spot is decent. Between two other sites you have to hope you have good neighbors (we did). The parking pad is shared with 43, and can fit 4 cars total.
@LanceM7014668 · Camped on Nov 22, 2025 at Campsite #74
It was quite nice. Restroom was cleaner than expected. The site itself was lacking in leveled space for pitching a tent.
@EmilyR2265278 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #36
Great site. Good spots for tents of all sizes. Close to the bathroom, which was kept clean during out stay. Separated from the campground on the other side by large rocks, so it feels like it has nice privacy. Will definitely be back!

WONDERFUL
@DianeV8358885 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #37
The rangers do an amazing job! Not easy dealing with the public but they are always smiling and helpful!!! Got to hear Jane the Director talk at the Climb Smart event. Was very informative and was glad to learn some new environmental things.Thanks!!1

Nice view and beautiful
@JimH4011279 · Camped on Nov 19, 2025 at Campsite #2
Indian Cove is a hassle-free campground with great sites and a convenient location.
@MariB486170BEC · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #13
Beautiful campground! Great walks lots of bathrooms and great Indian Trail
@THERESAR630897 · Camped on Nov 16, 2025 at Campsite #57
Site 57 came with its own cave, helpful as a shelter when it hailed! Almost all sites built into the rock formations in a unique way. The pit bathroom was as clean as possible with lots of TP. Lovely sunrise and sunset over the rocks. Remember to bring your own water and dishwashing set-up.
@SarahZ4C13C706 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #42
Great campground right outside Joshua Tree National park. It feels like another world here with all the rocks. You cant go wrong with most of the sites here. Very beautiful and private!
@MarissaJ974161 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #51
Absolutely loved our campsite! The views were great and our campsite was spacious. You do have to leave the park and reenter it since theres not a road within the park that leads to the campsite and the main section of the park.
@SkyelarPF2FCA9 · Camped on Nov 11, 2025 at Campsite #35
We really enjoyed our stay here. November and it was warm. The following week it rained so we lucked out. Amazing rocks to climb on. Our 4 kids spent hours on those. Would come back to same spot (35)
@MadisonW817980 · Camped on Nov 10, 2025 at Campsite #43
The site was a bit of a walk back from the car, which was nice but can be difficult if you have a lot of gear. Because the neighbors were camped closer to their car it felt very private. If they had been using their fire pit and picnic table area, it would have been very close quarters.
@JAMESS8693241 · Camped on Nov 10, 2025 at Campsite #9
Site 9 was in a quiet area just off the main campground road. One could see other parked vehicles but their individual campsite was obscured by native shrubbery and beautiful boulders. There was a reasonable driveway for our minivan where we slept and our grandsons slept in a tent in a small, level space tucked between two boulders. Two hundred feet to toilet and trash bins, all out of sight. Bring your water!
@AlexZ24E75C713 · Camped on Nov 9, 2025 at Campsite #81
Awesome spot!! And private. Campfire ring was surrounded by rocks so we couldnt put chairs around it
@RosanaC2B2BA56 · Camped on Nov 9, 2025 at Campsite #64
This site was perfect not too close to the restroom that you could smell the outhouse or too close to the road and had lots of space for the kids to run
@JimS2180263 · Camped on Nov 7, 2025 at Campsite #88

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.
