Beautiful and secluded. Great star gazing. I wish the sites were a little bigger but it’s ok.

Waking up and seeing the boulders is a breathtaking experience. Its an awesome spot, the parking is at a slant for the people who are sleeping in their car. Amazing spot for a tent. During the morning the rocks give good shade from the sun. You'll be in the sun on this side during the day.

Very nice campground and National Park. The campground is easy to navigate and only a couple miles off the main highway. Cell phone reception is mostly NONE but if you go to an area with a direct view of the city (29 Palms) you can get reception (ATT). Campground is clean and quiet. Campsites are a little small if you have an RV. Tent camping is fine.

We stayed at site 59 in Indian Cove. Beautiful setting nestled in the rocks. The sunset and sunrise were beautiful not to mention the night sky! It was a bit windy one night so make sure to tie down tents or awnings very well. The vault toilets were clean and we did not notice a smell. Joshua Tree is very unique and a must to see. I like the Indian Cove Campground location because amenities were close by.

Unfortunately, my site was trashed. There were several burned beer cans and bottles in my fire pit when I arrived. Other debris was strewn about in the shrubs as well. The table was disgusting. Some brown liquid had settled all over the table top. I could barely find a clean spot on which to place my bag. I stopped past the office around 2:30 and it said closed even though office hours were until 4:30. Otherwise, the place was beautiful, I just won’t be returning.
