Spot #20 was incredible. There was a mistake and someone was at our spot when we arrived at 2pm but with the park ranger's help and within 30 mins we had access to our reservation. Most of the spots in this area are close together but this one was like in a nook. Will be back the jumbo rocks were incredible!

Pretty sure we saw a UFO best experience of our desert roadtrip! The area was a good spot. The hike to skull rock run through the campground and the rock scrambling is always fun. At night we climbed the Jumbo rocks to the other side of the camp and some of our best stargazing of our trip. Make sure you catch the sunset from the Joshua trees, nothing beats the desert sunsets.

Sites are close together and shade is scarce. Its in a desert. But the surroundings are worth it

Clean and spacious. Great walk through the camp ground.

Great campgrounds nestled in between giant boulder piles that are great for climbing, scrambling, or in our case, a place to sit and drink coffee and watch the sunrise. Bathrooms are close by (no running water anywhere) and trash dumpsters. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and separate bbq grill. Be sure to look at details specific to your site because some have space for 1 or 2 cars.

I was surprised to learn that as a veteran, I have free access. I appreciated the ranger asking if I was a veteran and giving me a break when I did not have proof.

Great location. Site 119 is perfect for single or couple camping. Hiking all around. Climb the rocks for a amazing sunset.

The best camping experience I have EVER had—and so private! The campsite was surprisingly empty, and there was a lot of wildlife to be seen. Coyotes traveled through the camp at night, but didn't bother anything. Make sure to pack in water. I camped here in September. It was HOT after 9am, but comfortable when I arrived at 6pm, and cool in the evening.
