The campground was great...clean bathrooms and quiet at night. My daughter and I loved it. We will book again for sure.

Beautiful, quiet campground with well spaced sites and plenty of rocks to explore and climb.
Some Coverage

Really cool campground. Lots of rocks for the kids to climb around on. Amazing views of the night sky. Campground is between both park entrances so easy drive to get inside in the park or go to a visitor center. Only downside is no running water for filling water bottles, cooking, or showering. Which is pretty minor.

Be ready to bring a ear plug. Neighbor arriving at 9pm and making so much noise until 1am.

Great milky way viewing experience in Joshua Tree. Restroom (pit) was actually pretty clean and stocked up with toilet paper. Rock formations around sites 1-6 are great for some added privacy from other sites. Site 5 has a fire ring right next to a tockface wall thay creates a cool glow at the site.

The location was perfect. My kids enjoyed all the rocks around the campsite and I enjoyed the privacy. It was easy to access the park from the campground. We will be using the same park when we visit again.

I picked the worst site (#5) in the campground ... there is little level ground for a tent and it's just a slight pull off on the dirt road hosting cars at 30 MPH, including the ranger truck. Nice campground, but don't pick site #5

The night sky here is beautiful, the facilities are clean and accessible, and the rock formations all around the campground are absolutely stunning, It is also very close to amenities if you forgot to bring something with you to the park. Would highly recommend this campground and hope to go back again some day!

Restroom door wont close and restrooms were filthy when we arrived. Also there was no way to get level in the so-called pull thru site we we on in a 20 foot van.

Great park. not too small, not too big, beautiful rocks, great for people who love rock climbing (doing or watching :-)
@LuisL305 · Camped on Dec 2, 2021 at Campsite #5

Site #5 is the best! I unknowingly placed my tent in the best spot for the sunrise! Absolutely amazing feeling waking up that way. Night time was stunning and just a cool experience to see the moonlight wash over the entire area. Only "con" for me was that I didn't realize there were so many fast food places so close to the park and campsite, so it made it hard for me to want to cook at the site.

Did an overnighter here. Loved the campground but had a day visitor in our reserved spot so had to wait an hour while they finished their picnic and vacated our spot. Moral of the story, plan to stay at least two nights for the best experience.
