A very nice campground. Flat, clean campsites. Quiet at all hours. Great hiking right from the campground. Good proximity to town. Beautiful dark night skies. Strong cell signal.

The western part of Joshua Tree National Park is beautiful with many excellent trails. One could easily spend three or four days exploring the various trails close to this campground. There are several sites with plenty of space for larger RVs. While we enjoyed our stay at this campground, there is tremendous room for improvement. First, several of the sites are poorly defined. In addition, a bull dozer is needed to level some of the spots for RVs. Also, it would be nice to see the National Park Service pave the campground.
When we reserved a site approximately two months before our arrival, there was only one site available for only two days, yet when we arrived, there were several (more than half) sites that were unoccupied the entire time of our stay. Something needs to be done to discourage people from reserving sites only to not show. A possible solution is to charge a penalty for those who don't show and don't cancel their reservations. Also, full refunds should be provided up to one month before arrival; 50% refund up to two weeks before arrival.

We loved it. Easy to find campsites. Spacious but you definitely do have neighbors. The visitor center employees are very nice and the gift shop was reasonably priced. The bathrooms were VERY clean and there’s 4 stalls available. The water was easily accessible. Yes you can see the town lights but it didn’t bother us and it was still pitch black. Trails are easily accessible.

I visited mid-week in early February, and the campground was lovely with blue skies, Joshua trees, and a variety of birds (including a Roadrunner!) The staff were very friendly, and the campground and restrooms were well-maintained. The days were warm and the cooler nights were perfect for campfires in the firepit.
