This was my familys first time camping at Joshua Tree Indian Cove Campground and it was perfect! At this specific campground almost every campsite is located next to the national parks incredible boulders and has a unique view. The campsites come with a picnic table, fire pit, and charcoal grill. There is one pit toilet for everyone 5 or so campsites. So I do recommend bringing a portable toilet if you are a frequent goer. Check in time was at 12 PM. Upon arrival the campsites were completely vacated and open to set up our gear. I advise to bring comfortable clothing. We went during the winter time and although the temp during the day was no more than 55, it felt pretty hot with the sun. Also there is pretty much no shade so I recommend bringing an EZ up. Another tip is there is no water. For me, my husband, and dog we used an entire 7 gallon water jug within 24 hours. Also bring LOTS of firewood as it is freezing at night and the firewood burns fast. It reached about 38 degrees at night and was freezing cold. Our Heater Buddy barely did the job warming up the tent. Albeit our tent is pretty spacious so two would have been better. Okay now about the campground There are so many awesome trails to hike and walk. Take advantage of going on a trail to get some of the best views of the park. Pretty much anywhere you go youll be led to boulders you could climb. Be careful and take lots of cool pictures. The sunrise, sunset, and night sky are unreal! Soak it up and be in the moment. Take in what you are seeing with your own eyes. Stop by the visitor center and pick up a post card, sticker, or magnet to commemorate your trip! If you forget something dont worry there is a liquor store at the entrance of the campground/park. We forgot charcoal and this pace came in clutch.

We had a great time at the campsite. All positive, except there was no afternoon shade. We visited during days with high temps in the 90s, but no shade in the PM. Great site for cooler visits, though. Near the bathroom and boulders

Lots of boulder piles. Walking around the campground at night with the moon mostly full was a ton of fun. All the rocks looked like faces and animals by moonlight. Toilets were clean but smell like pit toilets. We had cell service in parts of the campground.

When we arrived, someone else was in our campsite. The ranger mistakenly re-sold our site.
