The park rangers do an amazing job of keeping these sites clean - there is a lot of wind in afternoon/evening so dont leave trash or light things out on the picnic tables. Portapotties were nice - stocked with TP and cleaned every day. Remember to fill up your 5 gallons jugs before/upon entering park, and enjoy !

Great campsite, lots of parking close to boulders and hiking trail to Ryan Mountain

Campsite 1 was tucked against an amazing outcropping of rocks and our kids had a blast climbing for 2 days. Not much protection from wind. Close to the bathrooms. We had 5 cars and 25 people and everyone agreed it was the best campsite. Close to all the best hikes in Joshua tree.

Great site. Scenic and peacfeful. Lots of of tent sites and parking. Big fire pit. Big grill. Cooking table and 3 picnic tables. At the edge of great rock formations. Near bathrooms but not an issue.

This last weekend for sheep pass campsites 1 & 2 was a disaster. I have been a heading a group of family, friend, and work mates to joshua tree for 30 years. We have, in the past, enjoyed our stay immensely. This year, as you may be aware, the park was overrun by the social media hype of the meteor shower. If people had found parking lots or turn offs from the road, that would have left us unaffected. Instead they came in droves into sheep pass (past the reservations required sign) and into the parking lots of our campsites and, in cases, confronted us and refused to leave. People (strangers) were just walking through and amidst out tents. I had little grandkids and the children of friends i had to worry about. I don't know these people IN THE CAMPSITES I PAID $100 FOR and their driving was often reckless and and too fast. There was no time to enjoy the star gazing we came to do and the onslaught of headlights alone ruined any chance we had. I don't know, so please advise who to formally lodge a complaint to, but i want to pursue a full refund for this. I spent $100 (two campsites, 1 & 2) and drove 3 hours one way for this catastrophe.

Clean site including two outhouses. Park service stopped by to check without interrupting. Rain storm before and there were few flat areas for tent that were out of the drainage. Great star gazing. Loud music nearby woke us up Saturday night, but didn’t last long. Overall a really great experience.

Enjoyed our stay. Just wish we saw a park ranger at some point during our 3 night stay. We were in site #1 and the people in Site #5 did not respect the quiet time rules AT ALL!! In fact they started partying at 10pm and continued until 3am the first night. It was extremely hard to sleep especially when one particular woman laughed like a drunk hyena about every 2 minutes. Wish there was a camp host at this group site to enforce the rules-based on other reviews seems like this happens frequently. Bathrooms were clean. They didn't smell too bad if we closed the lid and kept the door propped open when not in use. Site 1 was great for our group. Plenty of room to spread out. Plenty of parking space. It was a busy holiday weekend so people were continually coming into the parking area and turning around.

We often camp at Sheeps Pass site #2 or #1. Nice campsite, plenty of space, cool boulders for kids to climb on, two pit toilet restrooms with plenty of toilet paper and clean, easy trash disposal near site. We love it here and will come back. Have never seen any sheep, though.

Perfect campsite for group! We have been going for 16 years

Site was amazing and the rocks behind the site where so much fun for everyone including the kids to go explore and climb. The wind was crazy, must of the day and all night. Make sure you bring plenty of stacks to make sure nothing flies ways. Overall great trip.
