I wanted to love this campground, but there isnt a host and youre on your own entirely there. Normally fine, but its accessed from the highway, not passing a park entrance station, so anyone can go in. Squatters abound. Hopefully you have a better experience than I did; its a crapshoot as to who shows up. One guy was blasting music with bass so loud it was ricocheting off of the rocks. I was able to find a spot of cell service and change sites, thankfully (because nobody was around to help, and I didnt feel safe asking him a second time to turn it down!). The back up spot was quiet at first, and then neighbors there started playing music and letting their dogs bark and howl. Ugh. At least they werent quite as loud as the guy before. I bailed on my second nightthis is my least favorite kind of camping, and its not relaxing. I wish there was a host.

Amazing experience! This location is great and we were able to climb up the rocks for a view of the area! Firepit and grill available and great area for tent. The car is right on the site which is great for accessibility

Very pretty park, not great cell coverage, so plan accordingly!

The campsite ground is one of the best. There is no bad spot. Quite and clean.

Had a wonderful time, the campsite was clean, other neighbors were quiet and polite. My husband and kids loved rock climbing. Skull rock was a 15 min drive from there. Desert nights are the best. This campsite had nice shade by 4pm.

My stay in Indian Cove campground was phenomenal. The toilets were well stocked with TP, the trash wasn't overflowing, and the other campers were respectful. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

Beautiful and well spaced out. Clean bathrooms and campground. We loved it there!
