Beautiful scenery, great hiking/nature trails. Nice campsites. We were there on a very windy night. Would go back again if we are in the area.

A beautiful campground with sites tucked in amongst the boulders. The night sky reaches out an touches you! Magnificent!

Loved this campground! So beautiful and such easy access! Unlike the camping areas inside Joshua Tree National Park this one has a bit of cell service which I needed to work. This place also feels and looks like Jumbo Rocks without the drive in or the park fees. We are already planning our next getaway!

Wonderful Campground in beautiful landscape.All campsites have a beautiful view.Only reason for not giving 5 stars: The sites are very close to each other. Some have very limited privacy (if any)

This is a really pretty campground. And nice when it's not too full. However, it was jammed when we were there. Neighboring camping were noisy and invasive. Park service does not seem to have the staff or funding to regulate the campground so it's a real free for all. That and inclement weather (no one's fault, there) made for a less than fun stay.

First time camping in Joshua Tree NP. Indian Cove campsites are nestled along the huge rock formations. Very beautiful and peaceful setting. We stayed in site 84. Its a little small site but was perfect for our short camper van. Id definitely stay in this campground again.

Indian Cove provides lovely peace and quiet. Most sites are close together, but other campers are respectful. Good and plentiful toilets. Pay attention when reserving as to the number of vehicles "allowed" -- the one vehicle sites have room for just ONE vehicle. We were able to squeeze a second in, but it was REALLY tight. NOTE - When I made the reservation, only a half dozen sites were available, however during our tow-night stay very few sites were actually occupied. Weird.

We love camping at Indian Cove! Great rock climbing.

Great scenery, bathroom close by, had fun just being at our campsite enjoying the views and exploring around. Has a killer view of the valley at night as well as stargazing.

Campground was well maintained and had all of the elements needed for a successful Boy Scout outing.

This campground is off the beaten path in the far north of JTNP because it doesn't have a direct connection into the park itself. But that's exactly what makes it an awesome campground! The sites are nestled amongst large boulders, great to climb on and walk through. There are nice nature trails that start in the campground. But you don't have the massive crowds that you find in the middle of the Park. It's heaven! It was quiet and beautiful, without lots of cars driving by or hoards of tourists. The campsites aren't smushed together. There's a table and fire ring, vault toilets. The stars at night were amazing! The surrounding boulders majestic. And the peace and quiet was wonderful. It's only a ~30 drive into the center of the park (use the Oasis entrance to the east for a shorter entry line). This is my campground of choice when visiting JTNP. The other campgrounds get so crowded and noisy that it ruins the peacefulness. When you make your reservation, be sure to check out the picture of the campsite so you can get a sense of how its situation. Each site is different.

Very pretty place.
@RonD671 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #84
Very clean and well maintained. If you like the beauty of rock formations with little shade but cool clear star gazing, this is the place for you. Kind of isolated but close enough to City center and restaurants from Joshua Tree area.

Beautiful land, well maintained facilities, hiking trails lead from campground

The setting cannot be beat. Clean and well maintained. Some of the sites are not level and we had a trailer, so that was our only challenge but we worked it out. Close to the north and west entrances to the park. And if you stay here, spend some time bouldering. Be safe doing it but the views are worth it.
