Campsites are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with fire pits and picnic tables, with easy access to water nearby.

We mostly just enjoyed the view of rocks and sky. And clouds. The people at the campground were lovely. I enjoyed the lack of cell service unless you walked to one end of the campground. Nice campsites.

I visit a couple times a year. Campsite 31 is a pretty good site, but we were awakened by climbers in the parking lot across the street. Talking and laughing very loudly. Generators are annoying as well. But otherwise this is a great place.

Absolutely love this campsite! So beautiful and quiet. I love how spread out the campsites are and it's very easy to camp at.

Despite the lack of water, this is a nice, intermingled with the landscape campground. I was the only person my side of the road (site 90).

This was my second time camping at Indian Cove in the last six months, and I continue to enjoy this campground for its secluded feel—away from everything else. Overall, it was clean, though we did pick up some trash ourselves.
One thing to keep in mind is that the campsites are very close together, so your experience may depend on your neighbors. My partner and I had quiet neighbors during the day, but around 9 PM, a group arrived next to us and was quite loud. Additionally, expect to see a lot of vans and RVs. I wish there were a campground specifically for those who prefer tent camping and a more immersive nature experience.
Despite these minor drawbacks, I still appreciate Indian Cove and would return!

This is a beautiful campground located in a cathedral like setting. The campsites are located far enough from each other to allow you the feeling of not feeling crowded and each spot is unique. The toilets were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Roads are well maintained so you can drive most vehicles. This is a place I would visit again.

We misunderstood that we could fill up with water at the ranger station…..nope only bottles. We had to head to headquarters and drive back 10 miles. The water fill was in a really weird spot due to someone parking right where we needed to be to fill. Filling an RV can last 20 ish minutes (depending on tank size) and we were sticking right out in everyone’s way. Other than that, beautiful place. We hiked to 49 palms oasis. Beautiful, but busy. We drove all through the park and were disappointed that we couldn’t drive the Cholla Garden. But we could see it from the road! If you’re reading this, call your representatives and ask them restore all funding to our National Parks! We love our parks!
