Site 85 was beautiful and quiet at the far end of campground. Great bouldering, sunsets and trails!

I stayed here for one night, and it was amazing! I wish I had booked sooner to get multiple nights. The campsite is small and only has one place for a small tent for two people—amazing views of the enormous boulders. Make sure to put your food away at night because small mice come out.

This site was great! Right in front of a great rock formation to explore, and close to the bathroom. It was also a nice distance from the neighbor sites.

This is a great campground and we have camped here many times over the last 20 years. The only issues we've had would be noise from other camps as most of them are close together ..but I'm sure we've been the noisy ones sometimes. Site 18 was a pleasant surprise as it is very private facing the open desert. You have to carry everything from your car but didn't mind. We may have felt the wind more at night than in some of the more sheltered sites but it was worth it for the privacy.

This is the second time I've camped here and its a gem! Best campround near Joshua Tree and I've stayed at almost every campground in the park and outside the park. The only issue this time was that site 79 is extremely small, so you can only fit a 2 person tent. Its too bad as the site is back in the rocks and has amazing views, but then again all the sites at Indian Cove due. Still give this campground 5 stars.

Site isn't suitable for any vehicle. This should be a walk in site only. Campground otherwise was fine.

It was such a great experience at this campsite. We really enjoyed climbing rocks and beautiful view day and nights. No water available but bathroom was pretty clean too. Will be back for sure.

I didn’t know beforehand that the site would not work for our trailer so that was a bit tricky when we got there.
