This is a beautiful campground located in a cathedral like setting. The campsites are located far enough from each other to allow you the feeling of not feeling crowded and each spot is unique. The toilets were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Roads are well maintained so you can drive most vehicles. This is a place I would visit again.

We misunderstood that we could fill up with water at the ranger station..nope only bottles. We had to head to headquarters and drive back 10 miles. The water fill was in a really weird spot due to someone parking right where we needed to be to fill. Filling an RV can last 20 ish minutes (depending on tank size) and we were sticking right out in everyones way. Other than that, beautiful place. We hiked to 49 palms oasis. Beautiful, but busy. We drove all through the park and were disappointed that we couldnt drive the Cholla Garden. But we could see it from the road! If youre reading this, call your representatives and ask them restore all funding to our National Parks! We love our parks!

This site was beautiful and it felt very private with no other sites extremely close. The restroom is close (but not right next to the site) which is nice. We had 2 2-person tents and there was more than enough space.

Our visit to Indian Cove Campground in Joshua Tree National Park was absolutely unforgettable. Surrounded by towering rock formations, the campground offers both privacy and stunning scenery. The unique desert landscape, especially at sunrise and sunset, was breathtaking and perfect for photography.The campsites were spacious and well-maintained, with natural rock walls providing a secluded feel. We loved the easy access to nearby trails and the opportunity to scramble up the rocks directly from our site. Its an ideal spot for anyone seeking both adventure and tranquility.At night, the stargazing was nothing short of magical. The clear desert skies came alive with countless stars, and the quiet serenity made the experience even more special. Sitting by the campfire, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, was a highlight of our trip.The facilities were clean and convenient, though its important to note theres no water on-site. Coming prepared made this a non-issue for us.Indian Cove Campground provided the perfect escape from the hustle of city life. Whether youre after solitude, a family-friendly retreat, or an adventure-filled getaway, this campground has it all. We cant wait to return!

Indian Cove is a minimalistic campground, but the environment is very dramatic. The campsites are small and often nestled against rock walls. Some of the sites ae quite close to others. Don't expect any amenities other than very clean restrooms with pit toilets. Go there to see the fantastic rock formations and to scramble among them. The night sky is dark enough for a glorious view of the Milky Way. If you haven't yet been to Joshua Tree National Park, Indian Cove is a great introduction to nan other-worldly landscape.

Campsite was very nice in a unique place very beautiful.Unfortunately, we have some young people who came to do a fiesta...

Awesome spot to camp and go rock climbing right behind it. Although it was extremely hot a canopy and some water buckets did the trick. Highly recommend taking an inflatable pool if you take young ones or for yourself during the month of June.

The campsite is situated among big rocks, very scenic and in a good location.

Loved it. Just wished it had less grasshoppers and moths in the area but can't help it it is outdoors.
@Christian78293 · Camped on May 15, 2023 at Campsite #6
So, I only stayed here for one day and it was good! The campground itself is easy to find and the lots are tagged so that you can find it with ease. The firepit was clean and ready for me to use. The picnic table was pretty dirty, but I find them that way at all campgrounds. The large rock formations provided plenty of shade as the sun started to go down, and the restrooms were very close by. Beware though, watch out for all of the insects flying around the campgrounds, they're all over the place! Make sure to take a netted canopy to keep the pests away. Overall, great place to camp!

Solo camped. Felt safe, beautiful surroundings, clean latrine. What more could you ask for?
@PeterP131 · Camped on Dec 28, 2021 at Campsite #6
Great private sites with wonderful rock backdrops.
@CoryZ561 · Camped on Dec 10, 2021 at Campsite #6
Was clean, every camp site was separate, will definitely go back.
@salinaa466 · Camped on Nov 20, 2021 at Campsite #6
Beautiful campground. Clean. Great rangers.
@CaraS702 · Camped on Oct 8, 2021 at Campsite #6
Such a gorgeous & serene campground!! The rocks surrounding our site made it feel very secluded (site 6). There's no shade during the day though (it is a desert after all) so it gets hot fast. I definitely would stay here again.
@TetsuyaE432 · Camped on Sep 24, 2021 at Campsite #6
If you wants to enjoy quiet nature DON’T STAY. This place turned to be party place. Young group were walking around my camp site midnight-until 4am. They might be doing illegal drug. They woke me up many times. I camped with 3 and 8 years old and I felt very unsafe. Very sad… I am hoping ranger will aware of current situation.
@AllenH534 · Camped on Aug 27, 2021 at Campsite #6
No rangers, hosts, running water, or showers. Bathroom was convenient. Gorgeous spot. No phone reception.
@AprilS611 · Camped on Apr 22, 2021 at Campsite #6
Loved the privacy between campsites. And the rocks are pretty awesome too.
