We enjoyed Joshua Tree very much. One of my favorite places to rock climb and the unmaintained roads in the park are fun to take the jeep on. This campground is on the edge of the park and it takes about an hour to drive to Jumbo Rock. At the CG we had a lot of trouble getting our 40 foot rig into and out of the site and park. The roads are crumbling in and up to the park when you reach the end of the city roads and turns are very tight in the park. You are however in the desert in a national park that is not designed for big rigs. Joshua Tree is amazing but I prefer tent camping there. We would camp here again. Just not in the motor home. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great CG in Joshua Tree NP. The sites are situated within the boulders and large rock formations. The Rangers were good to work with when we had issues with sites. There is no water available within the CG, but is at the Ranger Station 2 miles away. For the price, this is an excellent value for family camping We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stunning high desert beauty. Great sunsets and sunrises. No services. Fill your water tank and go Boondocking. Plenty of space for our 39' fifth wheel & truck. There are several sites with plenty of room for big rigs. There is a turn around at the far end. Costs $10 to get into the park (going up to $15 soon) and $5 to camp. No water. So quiet at night its unreal. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Well, the only thing that has changed since my last review of this campground is the fee which has gone from $5 to $10. The rocks are still stunning, the sunsets spectacular and the night sky studded with stars. Get out of the private RV parks for a change and sample the splendors of our National Parks. Keep in mind that this campground has no hook-ups and no water. There are only pit toilets and no showers. Big rigs in the 40' range will find the sites pretty cramped and the park roads narrow but we did fine with our 32' Class A and toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the most beautiful campgrounds we've ever stayed in. The campsites are set amid huge boulders and many feature a secluded area in which to pitch a tent. All have picnic tables and fire grills. There are no hook-ups and no water is available, so come with full fresh water tanks and empty holding tanks if you plan to be here awhile. Generators are allowed during limited hours. A lot of the sites are fairly small and really more appropriate for tent campers, but there is an adequate supply of spots for motorhomes too. Most of the sites that can accomodate a larger rig are pull-thrus that line the main campground access road. One of these was fine for us when we were there as the campground wasn't even half-full, but it might be a concern during a busy period as you are parked quite close to passing cars. There is an easy hike that leaves from the middle of the campground and provides a nice introduction to the splendors of Joshua Tree National Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
the campground is really spectacular at sunset and sunrise. On weekends you need to reserve or get there early on friday morning. The park service is very helpful. Lots of climbers, so be ready for traffic. We camped here in a Tent.
Great campground if you want to dry camp. Very dark and quiet at night. Lots of rock formations. We were there the day after the 4th of July weekend and campground was pretty much empty as 107 degrees daytime and 67 at night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
