Site 61 is a beautiful campsite with a large flat area for tents. There is no shade, so bring a canopy or have AC in your RV. There isnt a driveway, so you park parallel to the road. It was already hot, in the mid 80s in early April. This site seems to be in a wind tunnel in evening/night, so I had to take down my canopy when I wasnt using it for sun. Vault toilets smell terrible but theyre clean and well-stocked with toilet paper. Park rangers come by periodically. There are no neighbors on either side, just one across the road. Unfortunately those neighbors were quite loud all evening. I was thankful they werent right next to me.

We stayed at the RV campsite and loved it next to the rocks, well located near the visitor center, the only thing missing was a place to connect a hose with fresh water and a dumpstation.

Campsite layout good , would have preferred a pull through , or have more room to park off the roadway ( had small square drop trailer , large stones prohibited moving it further into campsite). Overall campgrounds and vault toilets were well maintained,ie no trash , graffiti etc , ( the picnic table fire ring and bbq were in great useable shape Thank you ).enjoyed the space available between campsites . Very pleasant and peaceful. Friendly and helpful staff .

Our stay at Indian Cove Campground at Joshua Tree was very, very nice. There is good signage to locate the campground and the individual campsites. The campsites are grouped together in some areas and separated by the natural rock formations. We have a 25' RV and although the site was not paved, it was fairly level. The picnic table was substantial and level. Nice fire pit and grill. The vault toilets were well maintained and stocked well with TP. February is a wonderful time to visit. We will return for sure!

It has a beautiful location and amenities to the bare minimum. That's the beauty. I will return to venture further into other parts of the park.

This campground is NOT good for accommodating travel trailers. I have a 19' trailer and reserved a space that stated it would fit a 28' trailer. It was SOOOO tight that I actually did damage to my trailer because of ALL THE BOULDERS placed around the parking space. Besides that, it was a one direction road and the door to my trailer was to be on the road side and I could not open my awning. The campground is pretty with all the rock formations but really is favorable to tent camping or camper vans. I did read the camp site descriptions very carefully prior to reserving and specifically chose one that should have worked for my set-up. It did not and I left the next morning to camp elsewhere. Every single site at Indian Cove had a sign that said reserved but 75% of them were EMPTY. I don't believe that many people reserve sites and don't show up. There seems to be something wrong with the reservation system. There was not a single ranger or host to be found. I could not ask any questions or get any assistance from anyone. I wanted to move to a different site at Indian Cove that would fit better for me. I was not comfortable doing that because they all said reserved even though no one showed up. There was at least 60 empty sites that said reserved. Does not make sense why there are so many empty reserved sites. Would have been helpful if I could have had some assistance from a host or ranger at some point. I won't be going back there, but that is just because it is not suitable for my rig. It would be a nice place to camp in a tent.

This campground was so awesome! Each campsite is so different and it was nice that they are spaced out. We had lots of privacy from our neighbors. Vault toilets were clean and well maintained. The nature trail was beautiful and informative. We would definitely come back here!

Lots of space, beautiful sites, peace and quiet. Indian Cove is a top notch campground to be sure.

Excellent campsite, well protected from the elements and amazing views.

A bit of a challenge to level our trailer, but durable. Quite easy access from this site to bathroom but not next door. We were able to pull in the exit, since it was so close, to put our trailer doors on the proper side for this campsite, so they didn’t have to open onto the road.
@TerryH449 · Camped on May 11, 2021 at Campsite #61
not many sites can take a trailer or RV of any size, so careful when making reservations.

Spacious campsite. Beautiful location

Site #61. Beautiful location and site. Was able to fit a 25' Airstream Travel Trailer and F150. It was the last site in the loop, so there was a lot of extra space to enjoy (with kids running around). Ground was NOT level (even with levelers). Firewood can be bought right outside the entrance.
