We stayed here because we couldn't find any other options in the area with cell service to work remotely. It's conveniently located to explore Joshua Tree NP, but other than that I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here.

It's conveniently located to explore Joshua Tree NP, but other than that I wouldn't go out of my way to stay here. We were woken up by loud music further away in the area, but man the sound sure does carry. Also, I didn't like that they have some of the RV sites arranged so that front porches are facing one another. No bushes for privacy so you're basically staring right into your neighbors spot.

The camping area is really open, especially the tent sites. There weren’t many people when I got in on a Sunday night and I asked if I could be away from other people. There are about 80 tent sites. The dude put me RIGHT NEXT to other campers. I found that a bit irritating since there were only four other tent campers. Anyways good enough place if you want to explore the area. Reminds me a lot of hostels I’ve stayed in with the way it is set up.

The park was clean (including the showers) and quiet at night. We were greeted when we arrived and the check-in process was very efficient. The oleander bushes and trees provide adequate shade (reached ~97’ F during the sunny days) and you need to ensure your trailer faces East or you may battle the sun in the late afternoon. We felt badly for those whose door faced the setting sun. The towns of Joshua Tree and Twenty Nine Palms are nearby (~10m drive) for supplies. The north entrance to Joshua Tree NP is around 20m and the West entrance is around 15m from the RV park. Full hook-ups (ours were 50A) were a necessity during our late May stay at the RV park to keep us cool with AC during the warm weather. The sites were easy to get into and generally level. The only dislike was the lack of grass in the area, however with the location being a desert, the landscaping of mostly rock is completely understandable. An outdoor carpet is a must if you want a cleaner outdoor enjoyment area. We would stay again when we visit the area.

They have signs that the property is under video surveillance, how inappripopriate to have a camera within 6 feet of your rig pointed right into the window! My children wanted to fish in the pond, beware they have a sign with fines if you catch the wrong fish ($100 if you catch Koi, fines if you don’t release fish within 10 seconds)...no way you can enjoyably fish with children under these circumstances.

We were able to level out with our front jack, but saw the class C in front of us having issues and ended up moving sites. The sites are very roomy and are laid out well, with big trees in between for privacy. Overall, a great place to stay!

Despite our RV filter and our Berkey the water coming from their hookups tasted sour and was completely un-drinkable. A few days after leaving the site we started getting horrendous smells in our RV. We found that our water filter and electric boiler smelled like dead fish AND water heater smelled like rotten eggs. After testing all had a high amount of bacteria. Both filters, boiler, and water heater rod had to be replaced. Costing hundreds of dollars. Not happy about this situation.

There is a nice fishing lake on the grounds and lots of wildlife such as birds and rabbits. The office has some snacks, food, drinks and firewood for sale. There isn’t any WiFi but Verizon signal was strong. It is only about 20 mins to the two park gates nearby and about 10 mins to the town of Joshua Tree. Only certain sites have sewer connections so make sure you specify when reserving. I recommend getting a burger at the Joshua Tree Saloon while you’re in town.

Nice desert park with good variety of spots. It’s the kind of park that nickel and dimes you on kids, pets, electricity, etc. we elected to stay in dry camp area to save $ and the spaces are bigger. They are an Escapees discount park. Showers & bathrooms are very clean and well maintained.

Our site was level and spacious enough to easily pull-through while leaving plenty of room to park our truck. We paid $35 for W/E and then an additional $2.50 a day for our dog (For obvious reasons, I can’t understand or appreciate a CG charging for pets), and our utilities were easy to access and worked well. Some of the campsites are FHU for an additional $5, and there is also a dump station available at the entrance that is easy to access on the way in or out. There isn’t a ton of spacing between sites, but there are mature bushes and trees that made our site feel reasonably private. On weekdays, the park was super quiet, and on the weekends it was pretty much the opposite without being anything too crazy. No one kept us up, but there was a lot of idling engines, occasional car horns, and etc.There are bathrooms and showers on site and Wifi is available for a fee, but we didn’t use either. Our Verizon worked fairly well and was at full speed with our booster out. The park offers plenty of spacing for walking a dog and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains along with having a gorgeous lake onsite. Overall, $37.50 a night is a bit pricey, but this is a well kept place, and we would stay here again.

The campground was in great shape, well maintained and very pretty. The stars were dazzling every night, since it’s away from town and dimly lit at night. We didn’t use the showers or laundry facilities, so I can’t comment on them. We were in a 30’ Airstream trailer, and needed no leveling blocks at all. I liked this campground a lot, and only gave it four stars because we had to pay extra for so-so wifi. (Our booster helped a bit, but it could only do so much with the bandwidth we had.)

This was our fallback choice after the park service closed campgrounds within the park during the shutdown, and we were satisfied with our choice. Sites were clean and the graded gravel was in good shape. However, the sites seemed to be quite unlevel front to back, with the issue being worst in the 200 and 300 rows. We were able to get level with our front jack, but we watched campers in a Class C dig for hours to level their wheels without success, and they ended up moving to another site. Water pressure was quite low but functional, and our electricity worked fine. The oleander shrubs between sites provided some much-needed privacy because sites are very close together, as is typical in a private park.The bathhouses are strangely configured, with the toilets and showers attached to the rear of two separate buildings that seem to have apartments for residents on the front. Bathrooms were clean, but definitely dated. There are lots of signs with warnings about how to flush the toilets, not to use too much hot water, not to spend too long at the dump station, etc., which made it seem that the infrastructure is a bit dilapidated.The reason for our stay was to visit Joshua Tree NP, and the campground is fairly well situated on the north side of the park. It was a fairly easy drive (15 minutes or so) to the northwest and northeast entrances, and the campground was quite close to the Indian Cove and 49 Palms entrances. It definitely wasn't as scenic as staying inside the park, but met our needs.Internet service on AT&T was great (at least 2 bars LTE at all times, uncluttered), but we found it odd that all the over-the-air TV channels were in foreign languages or played only infomercials. There are some services available in Joshua Tree and 29 Palms, but it's easiest to head west to Yucca Valley for Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and larger grocery stores. Our price reflects the weekly rate of $220.

They offered third-party wifi that was pretty weak at our site, an average distance from the antenna, so we stuck with our own. The laundry room was closed because apparently the machines were on their last legs, and the family that runs the place needs them for their own personal use...Campsites have electric and water, but no sewer, although the hosts gave us the green light to water the trees next to our site with our grey water, which was really helpful.

This place was super nice with trees seperating the sites water/elec hookup at the site. They have a cozy little lake you can walk around. Also showers and dumo station is available. Easy access and friendly people. Nice to get off North Joshua Tree BLM land for a night and stock up on water and dump tanks.
