Beautiful site. Very close to the bathrooms. But super close to neighbors. Also didnt realize that the campground was not inside the NP. So took us 30 min from Arch Rock.

This particular site was just ok. It was a bit close to other sites and therefore was a little claustrophobic for us. The campground itself was wonderful but we would totally opt for another camp site next time were visiting. For star gazing I strongly feel that jumbo rocks was darker and prettier at night. Indian cove was beautiful at night but it felt a bit closer to the city. Sadly I think 29 palms and the surrounding area is going to continue developing and light pollution is going to get worse.

Once again, an incredibly beautiful trip to JTree and Indian Cove. Outstanding climbs, bouldering and hikes. Beautiful as always.

Sunny in the morning and shaded in the evening. Incredible spot, highly recommend. No parc pass needed. You are close to one other site but otherwise very secluded.

VERY HOT in the summer/late spring. Bring some way to keep water cool, and keep coolers closed as much as possible.

Camp site was wonderful and other campers were friendly.

We loved our campsite, and were delighted to notice that each site seemed unique and interesting; there were no "duds" so we know if we come back, we're likely to have a great spot no matter what. Ours was sheltered with shrubs for unexpected privacy, against a backdrop of giant boulders which made for cozy campfires. The campsite is also pretty equidistant from the 2 park entrances, so very easy to get into the park for the day. The ranger on duty also gave us great recommendations to get oriented on our first day there. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at the campground for 6 people & the campground were super close to each other. We had a neighbor who was extremely rude and we can see the group right next to us as we sit on our table/fire (depending on which side). I love Indian cove campground but if you’re looking for more privacy from people get a group campground.
