the rocks are fun, campground and restrooms clean. Too packed in for my preference.

Perfect space against the boulders. The trash and bathrooms arent too far. I cant rate the bathrooms since we have our own. Slept in my car here and it was indeed not leveled as the detail provides lol.

9/10 Pretty much had the place to ourselves! Just us, a few jack rabbits, lizards and the towering monzogranite rock formations. Not exactly flat and small area for tent but was well equipped and perfectly situated for excellent star-gazing! Only a bit of shade in the evening and early morning (at least in late August), however.
No Service

The campsite we got was perfect for our needs, and we weren't too close to any other campers. Lots of walls around the campsite for climbing.

If you're into partying. This is not a campground for you.It's quiet, well maintained and clean restaurant. My neighbors was respectful. Everyone spoke and hushed tones.Very pleasant experience!

It was pretty isolated and beautiful it was nice to walk around, climb up some rocks, and overall hang out with great people. The site alone was a little dirty, did a lot of cleaning up from the last person.

Our campgrounds #37 & 38 were clean, spacious, and fun. We have a group of rocks near us that the kids climbed. The first night gave us a weather show for the ages as we watched the western sky explode with lightning and thundering across the sky.

Best campground showers I've ever experienced.Was quite a bit of excited noise from the group camp in the evening but they quieted down early enough it was not a problem sleeping.

Amazing location to camp under the stars. I also love the fact I can climb in the campsite whenever I chose to. Love the park and location.

We have camped in Indian Cove a number of times and it never disappoints. Love it. We have enjoyed other sites better, but overall very nice.

The campground itself is beautiful solely becuase of the rock formations and open sky to view the starts. Joshua Tree itself is a special place. Try to time your visit with a full moon!

The campground was very well cared for. Highlights of the trip included neon glowing moss, cloud cathedral, moon rainbow, lizard stars and a warm embrace of the entire universe.

Make sure you actually walk around the campground, the rock formations are amazing and fun to climb on.
Make sure you get up early and watch the sun rise from your site.

Gorgeous location. We camped in September and even though the days were super hot, the evenings were perfect. A great spot to watch the moon/stars/etc.

The camp site was roomy, clean, and beautiful. It was very special to be nestled against the boulders. Great skywatching. Arrived at dusk, so it wasn't too hot.

Incredible landscape and the perfect place to finally reunite with my siblings. Mellow neighbors, easy access to bouldering/hikes and fairly close to town. Would definitely recommend the small flea markets on Sundays and the Joshua Tree Salon for burgers and great vibe.

Bad Timing on my part. The winds were gale force. Could not light a fire of any kind. And it was cold! Not your fault. Restrooms were clean and Rangers helpful.
@HarrietY887 · Camped on Feb 5, 2021 at Campsite #38
Amazing campground! Outside of the park so a little quieter-- if you're arriving after dark, it's worth taking a look at the campground map to identify your site.

Great Campground. A lot of rock formations you can climb and close drive to the East entrance of the campground.

Super fun and awesome! In the national park without being in the middle of it so it was super quiet and relaxing! Still worth driving through the park :)
