Site was large and pretty level. Close enough to bathrooms and was great to walk the pup around. Great spot to set up to see both the sunset and sunrise.

I love Joshua Tree but when i booked the campground, i hadnt noticed it was for RVs so i was sandwiched between 2 big trailers and diesel fumes were annoying while folks were coming and going. I should have checked for a tents only area. But, i usually like this park a lot

The roads were in bad shape in the campgrounds and the site was not level for a tent but otherwise had a great time.

Black Rock campground is a great spot! It was a bit noisy, definitely sold out for the night (April 15, 2024), but we had a reservation. Another review I read stated that they don't mark which sites are reserved and you may have to kick someone out of your site, but that was not the case for us. Our site was marked reserved and waiting empty for us despite the full campground. Black Rock has awesome bathrooms with counter space and running water. I know that doesn't seem like much, but most of the campgrounds in Joshua Tree do not have running water, let alone electricity in the bathrooms or anywhere to rest your toiletries. It's right on the edge of the park so you may not even feel like you're in it, but technically you are! Our site (31) was *mostly* flat. We are car sleepers, so it was a little noticeable but not too bad. Each site was well-equipped with a grill, a fire pit and a picnic table. Site 31 is a very short walk to the bathrooms, dumpsters, and water spigot. The rangers here are very friendly and helpful. The campground also has its own little nature center where you can get souvenirs, chat with rangers, and learn about the park via some exhibits.

Trails next to the park. The site was not leveled but we were aware when we reserved it.
