Stayed at site 79 and it is a magical space. With a small portal into a campsite behind rocks and access to amazing bouldering right behind the site, you don't need to go far to explore. If you were coming as a group, booking sites 79-77 would be perfect. Unfortunately, a group moved into site 78 on our last night and partied until 3am, which reminded me why I hate this kind of camping so much and looking forward to my son being old enough to pack into the back county. Wish there was some form of monitoring to ensure basic respect for others' space without having to pick a fight.

Incredible place to camp. This may be the best site in the whole campground. We were able to place our tent back off the road and have privacy- almost felt like a bit of Joshua Tree to ourselves.

Great location and nice campsites w/ fire pits and grills, surrounded by massive rocks. If bouldering is your thing, you don't need to venture far from the campground. The whole area between the campground and "Skull Rock" is full of impressive boulders. A bunch of coyotes delivered a howling concert next to our tent at night, and I spotted a tarantula 300 ft / 100 m from the campground. On the downside, we had noisy neighbors that were talking and laughing till 3am, but I'm assuming that was just bad luck.

Had a great time camping here. Plenty of areas to explore as well. My camp site was nice and secluded so nobody could bother me nor I bother anyone with my music. This site and Ryan campground are great.

Beautiful site. Multiple places to pitch tents, but the vehicle will not be able to back up to where the tent sites are.
