I tried to stay at the campground and I drove up and it was turned back because of the fire which I didn't know anything about. The next day I went up again to hike a trail and the park was then opened and I did a short hike and grabbed a campsite which was excellent. The next morning I hate to the fire line and chatted with some of the firefighters who were putting on hotspots and they were very friendly and the whole experience was positive and scenic. I would stay again.

Stayed at Black Rock Campground, Joshua Tree National Park. Campsites are too close together. Campers had fires where screens were not on the fire and sparks were going in to dry brush. The next day after we left they had a fire. i went to the office at 8am the next morning to let them know about the fires that people were having and the wind that was spreading sparks. That morning there was a fire near the campground and I was called to see if I had evacuated.
Campers have no common sense I guess. I did tell the people at the campsite across from us that they should at least put the screen on. Sparks were coming through the screen too.
The park did not have rangers to check on the campfires in the evening. Also there were no lights around the bathroom and in the bathroom and two out of three sinks were not working. I reported this to the office.
Seems like the park needs better management but they could be short on staff. Was a bit disappointed and the campfire situation was very dangerous (in my opinion).

The campground was in a good condition and bathrooms clean. Our site was right underneath a Beautiful Joshua Tree. Great hikes directly at the campground. Unfortunately on the last day, the campground was evacuated due to a wildfire an closed. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we could pick up our Equipment.
