Two distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave and the Colorado, come together in Joshua Tree National Park. A fascinating variety of plants and animals make their homes in a land sculpted by strong winds and occasional torrents of rain. Dark night skies, a rich cultural history, and surreal geologic features add to the wonder of this vast wilderness in southern California. Come explore for yourself!

Good distance between campsites, and the running water and flush toilets were great

Absolutely gorgeous camp sight, waking up in the morning to the alien looking jumbo rocks to squeezing a sunset hike to take the skull rock nature trail (One trail head located in the campground). Everyone was respectful just be sure to follow the quite hours and stay respectful.

Fair amount of noise from other campers (music, generators, etc.). Campsite and restrooms were very clean.

This was our second time staying at this campground. It's very nice. Bathrooms are very clean. Beautiful rocks surround the campground. Nice little hikes to do straight from campground. We will definitely stay here again.

Keep your options open
