Indian Cove Campground

Indian Cove Campground is hands down one of the most unique and peaceful places to stay in Joshua Tree National Park. Surrounded by massive rock formations, it feels secluded, quiet, and incredibly raw — like you’re camping inside a natural stone cathedral. The campsites are well spaced, giving you privacy and that true desert solitude. No RV hookups, no noise, no distractions — just rocks, sky, wind, and silence. This is real camping, not a parking lot with tents. Sunsets here are unreal, and at night the stars are absolutely breathtaking. If you’re into hiking, climbing, photography, or just disconnecting from everything, this place is perfect. You can step out of your tent and immediately feel like you’re deep in the wilderness. Facilities are basic but clean and well maintained, whi

Beautiful campsite, quiet overnight (weekend was busier), we will for sure come back again; amenities include picnic table, bbq, bathroom, and dumpster.

I recently had an excellent experience staying at an Indian campground near Joshua Tree, and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. The area was peaceful, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by the kind of desert scenery that makes you slow down and appreciate the moment. The staff and hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. They took the time to explain the layout of the grounds, share local history, and point out the best spots to explore both inside the campground and out in Joshua Tree National Park. The campsite itself was clean, quiet, and thoughtfully arranged. Each site had enough space for privacy while still feeling like part of a friendly community. The amenities—restrooms, fire pits, and shaded areas—were well kept and made the stay very comfortable. Even at

Gorgeous campground but it feels designed for tent camping, not RVs. We were able to get into site 61 with a 25ft Airstream but it was tight and uneven. Absolutely worth it but if you're an anxious parker and have a longer rig, study the map and site before you arrive. Class Bs and shorter travel trailers would have the best luck and most options.

Stayed two nights in the group site G02, and wow what a great spot! Really cool rock formations with the firepit being tucked right up against them. The site is very wide, very flat, well kept, and has a lot of larger plants in between to form some privacy between groups. Vault toilets well stocked with TP, multiple tables, a large fire pit that has a grate over it, and a large bbq stand that also has grates over it. Was enough space for 40ish of us to all move around and park easily. Also early February was not even that cold overnight. Maybe high 40s, mid 50s. 35$ for regular, 55$ for group.
