Beautiful rock formations. Definitely check campsite lengths if trailering or RVing. Try not to camp to close to vault toilets. Can be smelly from the venting, but insides are kept clean.

Great campground. Super easy access, close to in-town amenities. Not in the heart of the park, but still a great camp setting

Great campground. Does not have water, but does have pit bathrooms. Lots of room. Nice that it is a little distant from other campsites.

First time going to Indian cove / joshua tree - Very beautiful spot, toilets - no water, bare bones. We seemed to not have done proper research and was about 1 hour drive from the hiked we were wanting to do. There were some close(ish) but seemed farther away than we expected. Nothing bad for the campsite, just please do research before on what you plan/want to do!

Epic campsite with an amazing backdrop of boulders to explore. We had a great time.

Indian Cove is one of the most beautiful places I've ever camped in my life. It was my girlfriend's first time visiting, and she loved it too. Thank you for all y'all do to keep these National Parks & campgrounds up & running.

This is a cute campground the rocks/boulders are great. I guess I should’ve looked at a map, cause I was a little disappointed that it’s not in the park and that I had to drive back through depressing 29 palms to get into the park. I also thought it was unacceptable that there were Military training operations going on in the campground with vehicles coming in at 5am and later on gathering and parking in the campground.

The people next to us had taken over our table and BBQ. We ended up reserving a different site and didn’t use this one. It also had sloped parking.

Great campsite with lots of boulders for the kids to climb on. Campsites are a little close to each other but that’s my only complaint. Great time overall and centrally located between the two main entrances to the main park.

Super clan campsite! Note though that some of the camping spots are pretty close to one another as a heads up.

Indian Cove Campground was really nice! It was clean, quiet, with beautiful views all around. I had a cozy camp spot nestled up against the rocks. There was a space on one side of me that was marked "reserved", but nobody showed up, so it made it extra nice. The bathrooms are very conveniently placed. There are several trails in the area that you can walk on. I highly recommend staying!
