Hidden Valley Campground

Amazing campground with beautiful scenery and proximity to boulders. Some of the most popular bouldering blocs are located within a short walk from this campground such as Outback and the Caveman area. Fire pits have adjustable grills and garbage bins and restrooms are located close by. Just remember to bring lots of water as there is no running water at the site. Great camping experience!

This park as many in our country have seen a little rise in visitors over the past decade and add the pandemic droves and this park has changed alot. Over 3 million visiting compared to half that a decade earlier. This effects the first come campsites the most. Honestly Id love to tell you all to go somewhere else as I love this campsite. No Water and that goes for almost all campsites. Hidden valley has toilets and trash receptacles. the sites are decently private and most are pretty flat.||Our most recent trip had us setting up camp around noon on a Monday and we got our desired spot as only a handful of campers. When we came back at 4pm it was almost completely full.||This campground has a ton of boulders to climb and play on so definitely a fun spot for groups and climbers. Location

First time visiting Joshua Tree. The park was amazing. Staff was pleasant and made the experience all that much better. Depending on the season, be prepared for the changes in temperatures. That bright sunny sky can be deceiving in January.

Hidden Valley Campground is by far my favorite in Joshua tree. It is great for just venturing out without a car and just climbing on the rocks. It is so fun. If you want to watch serious rock climbing, walk or drive down to cap rock a bit farther on park boulevard. This area is the best for amateur/recreational climbing. I'm also glad campfires are allowed here, because in most other campsites in Southern California, they aren't allowed due to fire danger.

What an outstanding deal. $25 to stay right in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park. Hidden Valley Campground is located right in amongst a field of huge weathered boulders which make a great hiking opportunity right from your campsite. The rangers I spoke to during my stay were very helpful and friendly and I could not have been more pleased.
