The site is very beautiful and spacious. We had a great time. In addition, we were fortunate enough to see mountain sheep near our campsite. I will go back there again next year.

We were in group site #3. Excellent location. Trail nearby taking you to Mt. Ryan trail. Great experience all around.

Very nice spot for a group campsite. Only down side was another group with sound system/laser light display going on next to us. Fortunately, they were not as loud as they could have been and they shut it off promptly when quiet hrs began.

Sheep's pass is a great campsite centrally located within Joshua Tree NP. The group site had plenty of room for multiple tents and there was a good amount of space between the different group sites. Lots of rocks nearby for scrambling and good trails. Highly recommend for a bigger group visiting the park!

great though people turn around a lot in the #1 parking area. Also the bees were a big challenge until I put some dishes of water out away on the perimeter of camp -- thanks!

Beautiful campsite! It was my first time in the desert and i was in awe of how beautiful the park is. We only stayed one night so we didnt get to see much, but i saw enough to plan a trip back!
