One of my favorites. It was just perfect, the view, the space & comfort. Also if you decide youre not going please cancel so others can enjoy it <3

Awesome place to camp. Its just outside the park and next to Twentynine Palms. We were able to visit the park for most of the day and returned in time to set up camp and hike around for a bit. The campsites are a bit more spacious than those inside the park.

We loved Joshua Tree - 49 palms oasis hike, Discovery/Skull Rock/Split Rock trail, and driving through the park to see all the Joshua trees and rocky formations. Indian Cove offered a nice place to see stars and spend the night!

The campground is very nice and has access to great rock climbing. All sites are reservable and will likely be reserved. However, most sites will be unoccupied. I do not understand what is going on here. The day I stayed the campground was full (thankfully I made a reservation), but in reality fewer than half the spaces were ever occupied.Please don't make a reservation unless you actually plan on using it.

What a lovely spot! The towering rock formations are so majestic. The site offered a shady cove for the afternoon and was sheltered from the wind. The night sky was spectacular. We loved walking around the camp - the mix of jagged rocks and desert plants are beautiful.

Site 57 was protected from wind and was in afternoon shade. Lots of rock climbing nearby!

Great spot with lots of shade and a quick drive to all the best spots in Joshua Tree. Also, there was a free astronomy class that was quite interesting and fun! All in all, I would definitely come back, it was a clean and easy to navigate campground which felt very safe.

Beautiful, fairly private sites amongst towering rock formations.

Really beautiful campground! All campers were very respectful and nice. Sites are a really good size, and provide enough space between you and the other campsites. A rock-climbers paradise! 10/10 would recommend and we will be coming back soon!
