Our campsite was nice, and the views were great; the only complaint was the noise and light from the neighbors. The campsite right next to ours had 3 cars with 6 adults and 3 kids on ONE campsite. They were up until 2 am being loud and inconsiderate of others. I had to tell them to turn off the music and lower their voices at a certain point. I would recommend getting a different site that is more secluded if possible.

The surrounding with the rocks is so beautiful. Being a night in this place was great. The campsite is very clean and well prepared.

Flat campsite right at the base of some jumbo rocks. There is a path that goes up onto the rocks with a flat area to lay a blanket and watch the meteor shower at night. This camp site is close to other sites so it is cozy but private enough. No place for hammock and not allowed to hang lights or hammocks off the trees. Gets very hot during the day, recommend a canopy.

Site 020 was very nice, equipped with a picnic table, fire pit, and grill. This site is slightly more private than others, with a big rock behind it and some shrubs that separate you from other campers. The ground is sloped a bit, so it can be tricky to find a good spot for your tent that isn't too close to the fire. The flattest part is by the parking spots, which is less ideal for sleeping. Folks can be much noisier at this campground than others in the park, as it is the most popular, and we did get frustrated by some loud talking near our parked car while we were trying to sleep. It is great fun to climb the boulders right outside your tent for sunrise, sunset, and, of course, stargazing. We also highly recommend the Skull Rock Trail Loop which starts right from the campground. It was one of the less busy hikes we did (except for the stop at Skull Rock, of course). We were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed this short, simple hike!

The campsites are spaced perfectly apart for a great sense of both community and privacy. The rocks at this campground place you right in the middle of all the majesty of Joshua Tree. Lots of fun to climb, explore, and stargaze at night.
