Indian Well Campground

Wow, this place was clean! Has running water and flushing toilets. The bathrooms are even heated!! Has water spouts everywhere. First come first serve. $20 a night. They even have a fancy machine to pay with Apple Pay only at station. All campsites are spread out but some in the middle are super close to one another. Very accessible friendly! Tables are more than 100 years old! I’d stay here again! Update (7/2025): they’ve added bear boxes.

Indian Well Campground is a bargain. $10 a night camping, if you have a senior pass it's $5 a night. Camp is clean, and near the visitor center for the park. No power available except for receptacle in restrooms. Flush toilets, no showers but water readily available by freeze free faucets with pump type handle. Fire rings at each site with many having room to park smaller trailers or RVs. Bring firewood, as not much available anywhere. Camp host is a sweetheart, great folks all around. Camp is nice, clean, quiet, with some, but minimal shade. We brought easy up shades and a gas bbq with us! Amphitheater with star talks, and junior ranger program. The night sky is amazing here and it feels you can reach up and touch the stars! We even witnessed UFOs! Lots and lots of caves to explore

Really small campsites. I have a 30 ft RV and there was only one campsite that could even accommodate it, B23. Of course the government was shut down during our stay, so the visitor center was closed. I loved that the Rangers don't bother you at all. It had beautiful sunrises and sunsets, sunny days that are breezy, night skies filled with stars and a moon so brilliant it looks like you could climb the hills and touch it.

Early October. Arrived Thursday night from the south…come earlier. We had to brake constantly to avoid killing dozens of little mice crossing the road 😭 Spent 2 nights camping at the Indian wells campground. - $10/night, first come first serve! There are 2(?) sites with an elevated platform for the tent, which I chose to avoid potential night mice. - The night sky really is amazing! Don’t even have to look up because they just surround you completely. - Bathrooms are neat, bring soap! - You can collect firewood in the National forest, not within the monument park area. Didn’t see anyone selling in the area. - HELLA BUGS Jesus Christ. I stayed up from bugs slapping the tent from all sides. Fill your window wiping fluid to the max. - Very brave deer who are willing to get close. Saw our cam

Open despite the shutdown. Great views. Easy to pay with credit card. Nice bathrooms. Potable water. Easy walk to the visitor center and lots of caves on the cave loop. Very peaceful place even on a Saturday night.
