Chiriaco Summit Campground

We were checking out Joshua Tree National Park, and General Patton Museum. This was a great fit for location. Spots were decently level. Nice there is a camp host present. You have to fill out a paper when you check in. You can stay for a week free. Awesome that it’s free!

Great spots, well tended, fireplace at each site, both campers and tenters welcome. Quiet hidden gem just a short drive outside of Joshua Tree NP and the sunset views are great! Spent 3 days and would stay again anytime we passed thru. Restaurant, gas station, coffee shop and General Patton museum surround it for the necessities but it is a dry camp so no trash cans, water or dump station but great place for a few nights to relax and disconnect.

Good rest stop. Small Cafe, but cozy. The Dry Campsite has about 14 spots for cars and RVs up to 40 feet, with one pull-through for an RV over 40 feet. It also has about 4 tent only spots. No facilities but there are rest rooms at the Cafe an gas station. There is a cell tower within 1/4 mile so reception is full bars. Food and gas are kind of pricey but there is nothing in any direction for about 40 miles.

Nice campground that's free to use. No amenities and a little road noise. Got a restaurant and convenience store in walking distance.

We were a bit uncomfortable finding a dispersed camping site near Joshua Tree NP for our 42 ft motor home, so we came here. We are glad we did. It is privately owned, but free, well distanced from other campers, and close to convenience store, gas, food, etc. Cell reception is good.
