Beautiful campground surrounded by some of the best rocks in Joshua Tree. It's also a few minutes away from Skull Rock!

Booked 65, 66, 67 originally and then had to add 2 more sites: 63 and 69 because 64 and 68 werent available. But no one came to 64 and 68 during our time there. Get more water than you think you need from the ranger station.

Enjoyed our stay at site 64 in Indian Cove. Our neighbors were quiet, the site had plenty of room for our tent, and we enjoyed seeing plentiful birds and lizards, including a chuckwalla. Our only complaint is that once in a while, we got a whiff of the latrine, but I don't suppose there's a way to make that less odoriferous?

This is one of my favorite campgrounds in Joshua Tree. Such great sites and so much to do, all in a place close to town.

I wish we booked an extra night. The site was amazing, clean and the views were epic. Will totally come back from Oregon to specifically come here

Great campground! Not sure why our sites did not say reserved (with dates) on it when we arrived, but there was another party there and they declared that it is first come first served. We told them no and showed them our reservation. We had checked in at the ranger station coming in, but went on to do a hike at Rattlesnake Canyon before heading to the campsite to set up, the ranger office was already closed (at 5 pm) and we really didn't have anyone to go to. In the end, the people moved off to take over an adjacent site where campers have not arrived. They were a large party and they said all they wanted was a fire ring and tables (they did pack up and leave by 7:30 pm). We might have tried to accommodate them except that they were a very large party (at least 12 people), and they were loud, and one of the fathers kept sending a football our way. I have been camping at Indian Cove for years and this is the first time this happened. I suggest campers with reservation show up at their reserved campsite and leave a few coolers about.

I had a great experience in Joshua Tree! Its so beautiful and peaceful there! I was lucky and was able to book to camp sites only a few weeks out from the days we wanted and got two amazing spots right next to each other! I cant wait to go again!

Great spot for bouldering. Camping attached to a mostly rock mountain is a unique experience as opposed to simply seeing one further away.

We stayed in Indian Cove Campground for a weekend in January. It was PERFECT! Everything we could have asked for: perfect campsite location, beautiful & sunny weather, crystal clear nights with perfect starry night views from our campsite, and we were able to find parking throughout the day at locations around the park to explore. Both nights we fell asleep to a great horned owl hooting outside our tent. I would highly recommend Indian Cove Campground.
