Park was fun and awesome views. unfortunately many of the roads were not maintained, asphalt broken and many hole to watch out for. and it was very windy. although spaces were listed as paved ours was not. It was dirt and not very level. I understand budgets have been cut. We still enjoyed ourselves and loved the views and location.

The area is beautiful and quite busy. James the camp host is a true gem, from making regular rounds, answering questions, to simply being a very good soul.

A nice campsite in the midst of Joshua trees! The bathrooms were nice and very clean and it was great the visitor center was so close to walk to!

Campsites are a bit close together. But there are many Joshua trees at the campground. And there are trails that takeoff from the campground. Nice flushing toilets. Air quality was really bad the couple days I was there, 193.

Campground facilities were excellent: bathrooms were clean and stocked with TP, campsite had nice fire pit & separate grill, gravel had been added to a deep trench in the dirt road to help with driving.
Surrounding trails were beautiful, well-maintained, and not crowded.
This side of the part is much less crowded than other areas.
Our only suggestion would better signage, such as a more clearly marked exit route.
Would love to stay here again! Thank you, NPS workers!
