We didn't dare come to JTNP without reservations with a 35' RV so had made some for the Black Rock Canyon campground but didn't want to be that far away from the center of the park. We stayed on BLM Red Cloud Mine Road S.E. of JTNP in order to be able to get into the park before noon on a weekday. The Red Cloud Mine Road was a mistak... more

This is a very cute, small campground. I think there were around 16 sites, all first come first serve. All the campsites are nestled into the rocks and the campground is very central in the park and is a short hike to the neighboring campground where arch rock is. The best sites are in the back, but you're lucky to get one! We... more

The Joshua Tree National Park in itself is very beautiful and fun to explore, but is very busy on weekends especially if the weather is cool. Availability: The Belle campsite is first come first serve which means it can be a little hard to find a spot. We got to the park on a Sunday around 8:30 AM and were able to find a nice person... more

This campground is our all-time favorite so far! Camping in the middle of giant boulders and Joshua Trees... like someone else said—perfection! The only knock I have is due to a few humans... We came in at 3:45pm on a Saturday in September and were stoked to find a few spots still available. We paid for site #14 next to a huge boulder ... more

We arrived around sunset-and found that everything was full at Belle and Jumbo Rock (that could accommodate our 35ft Airstream. We ended up camping our first night in the BLM south of the National Park. We got to Belle early the next day to make sure we got a spot. Site 4 was amazing! We could tuck our trailer way back in the rocks, ... more

We somehow manage to always arrive at first-come-first-serve national park campgrounds on a long weekend, realize this scheduling error the day prior, then get worried about finding a campsite. Arriving at Belle 1PM on a Thursday before the MLK long weekend we managed to snag the last spot long enough to accommodate our 28' Airstream. ... more

Belle is a tiny campground with sites best suited for tents, camper vans and truck campers. Bigger rigs may be able to squeeze into a site or two, but options are limited. Site 5 is the creme de la creme. It's tucked into a rock formation such that when you're camped you can neither see nor hear your neighbors. What a luxury! Traffi... more

We stayed at Belle on our 2nd night in JT. It was quite cold and a bit of a breeze blowing through as this campground is not as sheltered as Hidden valley or Ryan that we visited. Beautiful sunset though. Would stay again but did prefer Ryan

Joshua Tree is one of our favorite places in California so we may be a bit bais but Belle is a perfect little campground. Sites 2 and 3 don't have much privacy but are very easy back ins for trailers 25' +. No cell service, no water, pit toilets, perfect landscape and beautiful sunsets is what you can expect. Enjoy!

We stayed two nights in JTNP and enjoyed every minute of it. The rangers originally suggested we find a spot at Jumbo Rocks CG, but we found Belle to quieter, easier to navigate, and better for parking our 38' motorhome and toad. Parking among the rocks was wonderful. We met other campers who were very nice and we enjoyed hearing owls ... more
