As always, the setting of the campground is stunning. There was a lot of happy noise in the evening but people were very respectful of quiet hours. Our site was spacious but a little close to neighbors. My only complaint is the road is in bad condition!

Busy campground. Had site 88 in the back loop which was next to a large loud group and many day-use hikers. 1 vault toilet for many people due to large group. Campground is located closely to Amboy Road, surrounding area was not the nicest... much different from staying within other national parks. Left 2 days early due to feeling uncomfortable. Host was somewhat hard to locate but kind in person. No restrooms noted on JT park map, noticed an abundance of toilet paper on popular hikes. Cholla Garden was closed for repair.

Campground is awesome and beautiful; however, our neighbor was not. We had campsites 87 and 88 for four nights. First two nights neighbors in 89 were fine, plenty of space between us and their two cars parked in the designated driveway. They departed after two nights. We came back after an all day hike the next day to find the new tenants of 89 had parked their huge truck and camper 3 feet from our vehicle in 88, they were clearly far behind their parking space that the previous tenants used. We asked nicely if he could please move up into his designated parking space and he flatly refused, not in the least friendly nor apologetic. So we did not pursue the issue nor report to a park ranger for fear of retaliation. Also, their other vehicle was a camper van parked fully into the campsite not even near the parking area, space 89 specifically states "Do not drive into the campsite." While aware of the shortage of park rangers, I understand it might not be feasible to "patrol" the campsite daily. (We have visited other national parks in recent months where the campgrounds are patrolled by wonderful rangers, this made the stay so very pleasant as nobody was out of line. ) Subsequently, we moved our vehicles as far as possible into space 87 for the remaining two nights. We would greatly appreciate if the beautiful Indian Cove campers could be advised by rangers if they are out of line and outside of their designated parking areas. Otherwise our visit to Joshua Tree was very pleasant. Thank you!

This is a very nice campground to camp and the surroundings are beautiful. I just cant understand why theres no water. Its not far from the town so to bring water in wouldve made this five star.

Gorgeous vistas! Campsite was clean and although they are densely packed together, youre still out in this natural beauty that makes the space expand. Pit toilets were well stocked

Beautiful location with camp sites spaced apart and nestled in the rocks with beautiful views. Be aware there is no dump station at this location. You will find one at Black rock campground.
