Amazing place! The short Trail at the end of the Campground is very interesting and beautiful especially at sunset

The site 052 easily fit our 24 travel trailer unhitched from 20 truck so they could be parked on the gravel pad slightly overlapping but off the loop road. Expect to use the backside (drivers side) of your camper for shade in the afternoon if you are enjoying the outside. Beautiful views of the rocks from the site! No cell service using AT&T. Get water at check in entering main road as there is none in campground. Great place!

The rangers take very good care of this campground. It is quiet and clean.

My rating was based on:Beautiful campground. Spectacular when surrounded by rocks.Some sites are close to neighbors.Many sites won't accommodate a trailer.No water within the campground. Their is water at the ranger station outside the campground.Some people drive way too fast through the campground. Many respect their fellow campers and drive slow so they don't raise a cloud of dust in their wake.Separate from the main entrances to the park.

I loved this campground. Very quiet and peaceful. There were neighbors, but I couldnt see them. Bathrooms spaced out around the campground.

Beautiful place with good privacy and a lovey nature trail

A great place to stay! Beautifully positioned between the boulders and rocks. The only problem is to find out, which sites are still available when you come spontaneously and dont have Wi-Fi, as each site is marked reserved with a fixed sign. We had the problem at a different place before (this one we had booked in advance).

so much fun

Campsite was nestled amongst the rocks and offered good privacy and distance from other campers. Pit toilets were clean and smell free. Site was level and sandy base. Campground was clean and tidy.

We loved Indian Cove. We were the only ones on the entire campsite during the middle of the week. Hiking was great - Boy Scout Trail, Rattlesnake Canyon bouldering, and 29 Palms. Site was clean, rangers were helpful, and setting is truly serene.

It is worth visting the Visitors Centre - helpful ideas, interesting history, well presented.

The campsite is great! Unfortunately the streets were dusty and the cars were going too fast. Because of this, everything was full of dust. Too bad.

Stayed in site 52. Not the easiest experience leveling our 33' rig, but once we got it done, we loved this site. Ample room in front to park our Jeep.
