The area was clean and well maintained. The trails were not too challenging. (Which suited me just fine!) The only drawbacks were no showers and the restrooms were messy.

The campground was good in that it was both close to the Joshua Trees and close to the town of Yucca Valley. However, the roads around the campground were TERRIBLE. They originally had been paved but they have not had any maintenance in more than a decade, maybe two decades. There were huge potholes and large cracks everywhere. It would be better to just tear up the pavement and put down gravel. I know that the area has huge rainstorms when they happen but how hard would it be to just put down gravel on top of the mess that they have now.
On the good side, the campground had water which only one other campground has and the bathrooms were passable. There was only one water spicket which was a bit of a walk but if you bring a large water container, you should have no problem.

Nice campground and our site was large. Roads are rough and no showers but we knew that so no problem. Fellow campers were a bit loud but I guess that’s what you get in a campground. Would have preferred being in the park proper and not having to drive each day to get in. All in all I would recommend.

The camp roads are in terrible shape with the site we were assigned to be in just as bad of shape. We stopped at the ranger station after a very rough ride up to it and the ranger was very helpful. He said that they were due to have roads replaced in 2025.

the campground is great, perfect location for hikes in Joshua Tree, very easy access. Maybe we were unlucky but there were many noisy campers, with music and shouting all night long.

I was in site 11. I was not allowed to bring my 13 ft teardrop trailer which would easily have fit in the space. Instead I had to pitch a tent in the wind between 2 huge trailers in a site that had all the allure of a parking lot. My worst experience at a Joshua Tree campground.

Good campsite. Clean bathrooms, flushing toilets. Not too far from Joshua tree entrance. Will stay again. Family had a great time.
