Pros: A nice cozy spot with a beautiful view. Plenty of space for a 4 person tent.Con: The bathrooms are close by, which means that when the wind picks up you will occasionally get hit with the smell of doo doo. If you are sensitive to smells like I am, I would maybe pick a site that is farther away from the toilets.

I wish I was 20 years younger so I should scramble up those beautiful boulders. We saw our first Chuckwalla and a 2 foot long rattler (crossing the road at dusk) and a Desert iguana. The sun is relentless on clear days. Our canopy helped us tolerate the burn.

Indian Cove Campground is set amongst rock formations perfect for climbing and creating a dramatic backdrop. We had site 10 which was larger than others and nicely accomodated our 10 person tent. The location of the Campground outside of Joshua Tree national park was surprisingly better than being in the park as we avoided the crowds and traffic. There were some trails to explore near the Campground. I definitely recommend the Campground.

Great campsite. Felt secluded, far enough from the restroom. Great stargazing.

Indian Cove is always top notch. The best that Joshua Tree has to offer in my opinion. I have been camping in Indian Cove for more than 30 years. I love that it is close to the Park, as well as many favorite trails. The sunrises on the boulder ridges are so beautiful. Each site has its own special charm.

Perfect!

We had a wonderful stay. No one was there at the office so luckily no one camped in our spot where we would awkwardly ask for them to move. The kiddoes loved climbing the rocks at our site and the spacing was perfect during these pandemic days.
