Decent size site but has a large drainage ditch running through the center of the site. Almost took all of us out at one point or another at night.

Were love here, so much fun with our big group of friends and kiddos had a great time hiking and climbing rock. We definitely go back again.

Site 85 was beautiful and quiet at the far end of campground. Great bouldering, sunsets and trails!

Beautiful campground; bathrooms not the best

No Joshua trees, but really clean place in between some interesting piles of rocks. Bathrooms available, plenty of visible stars at night, and sites each have a table and firepit that look new as of this review. Note the number in front of each site is small and really hard to see at night, and that roads are unpaved, but relatively easy to traverse in any normal car. My only complaint was that the group next to us was a site that was physically very close, and they got loud in the early morning, but maybe it was just our site.

Great Campground. The lots are nestled in between the giant granite rock formations of JT NP and the sunlight in the evening is amazing. Would definitely go there again!

Although this campsite is a bit outside the hikes and such, it was the coolest campsite I think Ive ever stayed at! The most epic rock formations were right beside you. I 100% would camp here again.

Love this campground. Enjoyed watching rock climbers, walking the nature trail, and just enjoying the rock formations. Quiet campground away from the busyness of the rest of the park, and yet close to the drive through the park and the trails.

Good campground, fun rocks to climb on. Tight campsites too neighbors and not connected to the main park

Beautiful of course, but the site was very close to the one next to us (there wasn’t really anything to show where one ended and one began) so we had children “exploring” our camp while we were trying to sleep. Even a couple well placed rocks would have helped.

One of the best campsites to visit in Joshua tree! If youre looking to get away from big crowds this is a good camping site. Cant wait to visit again

This place was clean, spacious and well kept up. We loved everyday being here. Beautiful sunrise, sunsets and the stargazing was incredible! We'll be back.
