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.

Beautiful, spacious site, reasonably close to a restroom. Nicely nestled near giant boulders but with plenty of room for tents, etc. Also a large parking space that accommodated two small (20’ish) RVs.

These groups sites are the best in Joshua Tree. This site in particular is very spacious with lots of room for your set-up. We had 5 large tents (6-person and up) and canopies. It is a bit plainer than the other sites as far as the aesthetics of the rock formations, and the walls are smaller. It opens up in the back to the individual campsites, but they are very far away.
