About Indian Cove Group

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 Group is one of three group campgrounds in the park that can be reserved 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.

Our Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop from MCAGCC were very appreciative of the opportunity to have an evening camp fire program.

Wonderful sites, clean bathrooms, friendly ranger, no problems, great trash disposal. Each site has a fire ring and a large BBQ grill (bring your coals, too small for wood). Highly recommend!

Could not get a camp site, then tried to cancel my Sunday reservation and would not let me. Website is difficult.

Stayed at both group site 6 and 7 during our stay and these are Crown Jewels in the group sites. Ample places to pitch a tent, great bouldering, and tables and fire pit are well off the road.
