Site 59. Excellent afternoon shade in a protected cove. Restroom nearby but not so close that you catch a whiff. Set up a 4 person tent with plenty of room.

Though it was super hot our one night stay was magical!!!! Weβve never been to or seen any structures like the boulders of Joshua Tree(Indian Cove)! The stars were so breathtaking and it seems we picked the perfect, private site!!!

Maybe too hot for everyone camping there in August but had a wonderful night. Get there at four, enjoy a lovely meal, watch a movie, sleep and wake up and leave. A perfect solo last minute trip, and only 3 other campers in whole site

Quiet and well kept. Pit toilets were as clean as you could reasonably expect.

We were at Indian Cove Campground with a C-class Motorhome. The campsite was easy to find and pull in to. Everything was clean. Bathrooms were also relatively clean. We would recommend and will visit again.
