About Indian Cove Campground

Download the NPS app prior to visiting the park – trail maps and more! Indian Cove Campground lies amid the huge, steep rock formations for which Joshua Tree National Park is known. Because of its proximity to many rock climbing routes, it is a popular camping location for climbers. Indian Cove is one of four campgrounds in the park that requires reservations year-round. To get the most out of your visit Plan Like a Park Ranger Travelers who enjoy warm, dry winters flock to Joshua Tree from October through May, when temperatures hover between 70-90 degrees during the day and drop to a 40-60 degree range at night. Summer is the park's off-season due to the uncomfortably-high desert heat. Indian Cove is at an elevation of 3,200 feet.

In Joshua Tree, the sky is marvelous. The boulders were so much fun for the boys to plan play on. At the end of May, it did get hot during the day so we would go back in the earlier spring or fall.

Camped during a foggy and rainy day. This camp site is the farthest walk-in spot so recommend a wagon if bringing heavy gear. It feels very private and has an incredible and unobstructed view of a valley. The boy scout trail passes in front of you so you may hear voices of hikers.
