  It's great! The rangers are super helpful! "Most" campers know the rules. Unfortunately some don't clean up after themselves and will make (unreasonable) noise late (past 2am) into the night. Also there are two easy quick hikes to great views from this campground. Also the camp host's little corgi was adorable! First rule of camping: Leave it better than you found it!!!!

  We were site 21 both times we went. We loved it because it's one of the sites on the edge of the campground. 23 and 25 are also on the edges and look nice!! It was also close to the restroom without being right next to it. It is also close to a trailhead that you can access almost all the other trails from. The only downside of that specific site is that it does not have a lot of trees directly next to the site to provide shade like some of the other sites sites. This campground does not feel like you are out in nature necessarily because it is very large and there are a lot of people, but it's nice for hanging out with friends or family! There is also cell service and it is close to town, so it is easy to pop into town for something you forgot! The main downside of the campground is that it is not connected to the rest of Joshua tree national Park, so if you are intending to explore the main part of Joshua tree, it would be a little bit of a drive to get there. However, this area of Joshua tree is one of our favorites because although it does not have the signature Rock piles that the rest of Joshua tree has, there are so many actual Joshua trees! We also enjoy hiking this area because it is way less busy than the rest of the park.

  This is the worst Federal National Park campground I've ever seen! Where to start!? To far from Joshua Tree National Park! Campsite and most have no grass, are just dirt, compressed together, not level, and little to no shade! Water spigot has hornet bees! Campfires from neighbors. No host regulating noise from parties. Bathrooms are dirty and no showers all for $35/night... really! Never again! Stay away!

  Stayed at site 28. We loved it. Easy to find campsites. Spacious but you definitely do have neighbors. The visitor center employees are very nice and the gift shop was reasonably priced. The bathrooms were VERY clean and there’s 4 stalls available. The water was easily accessible. Yes you can see the town lights but it didn’t bother us and it was still pitch black. Trails are easily accessible.

  Beautiful campground, super clean and offering stunning views. We loved being so close to the Nature Center, where the Park Rangers were phenomenal with our little ones. Would definitely recommend.
