Campgrounds were spectacular locations. Things are hurting with staffing at the entrance gates and maintenance of facilities....

We had an excellent campsite and superb weather in the last week of April. Indian Cove is at the end of a road that does not connect with most of the rest of Joshua Tree NP roads. It's quiet and remote in and amongst the picturesque hill you expect at Joshua Tree. Our site was smack up against a 100 ft. cliff which gave shade in the afternoon. Campsites there are rather close together, which dimmed things a bit. The road in is fine but rapidly deteriorates into rutted dirt with decaying 60 y/o asphalt. Bring you own water, but there are barbecues, fire rings, cement picnic tables, and nearby vault toilets.

Campgrounds were very nice. Everything was well taken care of, the bathrooms were immaculate. What I liked about Indian Cove compared to the other sites within the park is theres a lot of space between the sites themselves and then the grouping of each of the sites theres only about four or five and then a distance to the next group so that was really pleasant. It is a drawback that you have to go through the entrance gate and drive into the park every day, but we enjoyed the campsite itself very much.

The bathrooms were very smelly.

Nice campground in close proximity to Joshua Tree. It really has stunning views and a nicely maintained nature trail. We had site 59 and really liked the fact that one side of the camp site had rocks for the ambiance and privacy. Nobody was at the ranger station so be prepared to get your firewood in advance. Convenience store is located at the main road intersection but the wood is quite pricey. Overall a great experience.

I absolutely love Indian Cove. The setting is gorgeous and most sites, while fairly close together, feel private because of the way they are cradled up against the boulders. Sound does carry like crazy here, so you may be privy to conversations you weren’t expecting to hear.

I tent camped in site 59 and it was perfect for my needs. It got windy one night, which was an adventure. Pit toilets are adequate, but you need to feel comfortable getting a bit grubby while here. To me, the desert vistas, bird and plant life, and wide open skies are a great trade off!

Our second time at this beautiful campground. It is lovely!

We had beautiful weather. I wasn’t able to climb but there were quite a few enthusiasts. Good to get around on my bike. Several desert trails.
