Before I start my review, I need to voice my pet peeve as a retired person. I wish children under 18 were not allowed in campgrounds during the week after Labor Day. If I want to hear a bunch of screaming kids, I'll see my grandkids! Outside the screaming kids, I love Joshua Tree during this time of year in the fall.My campsite was enjoyable it's walking one at the end of the walking campsite on Ridge.You need to guy out of your tent very well. It gets very windy.

Indian Cove Campground was a once in a lifetime camping experience. Rocks to climb, trails to walk, and it was full of amazing views just sitting at our campsite. Campsites 99 - 101 are a walk from the parking. If you want privacy youll only have to worry about people walking by to go on a hiek, rock climb, or pass by to set up theor camp. 101 is about a block away with a very hilly sandy trek to the site.

Tent sites were a great option.

First time camping at Indian Cove. The area around the campground and the Wonderland of Rocks is spectacular and an absolute must see! That being said the camp sites are very close to each other and there is little privacy. We had multiple rock climbing groups show up and wander through our camp site without asking, or having a reservation for the campground. There was a definite party vibe at times, loud noise, drunken behavior, etc. I think Joshua Tree is worth visiting and Indian Cove is a beautiful campground. Just don't expect any kind of solitude in nature experience, it's more of a crowded hippy college frat party with the park staff being over run with too much work and not enough staff. Definitely didn't see any body getting talked to about drunken yelling in the middle of the night, illegal parking or rock climbing through someone's occupied camp site despite the fact that we couldn't avoid seeing it frequently. Glad we saw the place; probably not going to come again or if we do we will be camping in the back country of the park. Beautiful park. Very over crowded. Lots of party culture. Overall not our best National Park trip

No one clarified for me that the 29 Palms (West) entry is West of the Indian Cove campground. However, many people were quite explicit that one should use the West entry to avoid long lines at the East entry, It worked out for me, because I didn't pay a vehicle pass fee (but it comes out the same for the National Park system because I ordered an America the Beautiful Lifetime Pass online anyway, since I was no longer pressured by my expected date for use when I would be at JTNP).

Indian Cove is outside of Joshua Tree, 15 mins drive. But camp site 101 is super good with quietness and privacy.

Beautiful campground !!! Well maintained

Very clean campsite. We expected it to be noisy with the amount of campsites available but it was very quiet and peaceful. The sky was beautiful and not a lot of critters. Recommend bringing extra firewood because the closest place was about 30 minutes away. 10/10 would stay here again.

A very beautiful campsite with tons of rocks to climb on.
