Stunning views at this campground, was very cold at night but had a great stay. Would definitely return, toilets were the cleanest out of the sites weve visited.

Beautiful setting. Easy to get to. Cool sites.

While there are a lot of sites, the rocks and layout make it feel much smaller. Loved the site. Vault toilet near our site was clean.

I read the reviews prior and they stated it could only fit a 2 person tent. Since I was a solo backpacker it would do just fine. I had a Lansham 2 tent. It requires guy line tensioners and hiking poles. So I was able to pitch my tent but the space is so small and the ground so hard it was too close to the fire pit to even consider a fire. I only stayed one night. My advise to you is to get campsite 41. Not only is it bigger and flatter there is a nice huge boulder to block the sun.

I had the greatest time! I highly recommend camping here. Site #42 was great.

Loved being up close to the rocks. Nice place to feel sheltered and cozy, but still definitely immersed in the great outdoors.
Such a wonderful campsite; the best I’ve been to in the Joshua Tree area!!

I love this campground. Not a bad campsite. Great for kids to run around. Lots of rocks for climbing. Especially good if you are getting in late cause it isn’t all the way into the park.
