Joshua Tree RV & Campground

I had a long day of traveling and saw glowing reviews for this place. I pulled in and realized they charge $70 for a dirt space with no table or fire ring but was too tired to keep moving. It seems that the owner had all of his buddies write the reviews because pictures on Google of are the city park and other RV parks, not this place. It’s not a horrible place to park, just super expensive for what you get.

Where do I begin? This place and Bry (forgive me if I misspell it) were wonderful and FAR exceeded my expectations! While my husband and I were out and checking our Ring camera, it looked like the window was shattered (very weird). We called the number and he went with his flashlight to check on our RV. It was just dust that collected with the winds. He was so very nice and totally went out of his way for us, making our stay that much more enjoyable! I did laundry at this campground and was thoroughly impressed with the laundry room and machines! Very clean and you can use credit card/app if you don’t have bills or quarters. There is a shaded patio area with tables and lights, games, EVERYTHING! VERY NICE! We will definitely stay here again if we’re ever in the area.
NOTE: Pay the extra $10 for FULL hookups here. There is NO WHERE to dump in the area.

We needed a spot to land with hookups and this fit the bill. In my experience, it's expensive for what it is. Bathrooms were okay, clean but kind of creepy. The showers were divine after 10 days on the road. The woman working there was awesome and went out of her way to make sure we had the best site possible. Lots of monetary "fines" for violating their rules, most of which seem self evident, like don't kill the fish...who knew you ought not kill fish other people's fish. The pond sounds like a lovely idea but it smelled pretty rank. The birds were nice though. They charge for EVERYTHING outside the norm including 5 dollars per kid and 5 dollars per pet.

Site 102. Wonderful location, great sites with lots of room between. Each w and e site had tree between them which provided great shade and the full hookup had row bushes between. Bathrooms and the showers were great, lots of pressure. Hubs said dump was best yet in 4 yrs of using our tt. Plus cground has ducks and fishing lake. Only about 5 mi to Joshua Tree Ntl Park, the eclectic Joshua Tree Bar in town had awesome food,. Great stay.

Nice place to stay! We had a partial hookup, 30amp and water, but no sewer. Sandy area but that actually works well during rainy days, with no mud. Good option if you don’t want to disperse camp and we felt safe leaving our trailer there while we explored JTNP. Bonus: County dog park right next door, with all sand but not too shabby! My 40+ pound GSD pup had a great time there digging and running circles everyday.

You can make online reservations but can’t guarantee your spot unless you pay an extra $20 (lame!) and we didn’t get our online choice (got assigned 65 instead of 63 like we requested). However, the online system appears to have done a good job spacing out the rigs as everyone there pretty much had a vacant space between them. The place was about half full and everyone on the south wall pretty much took up two spots when detached as the tow vehicle would get parked in the vacant spot next to it. We had #65 for our trailer and parked the truck next to it, slightly taking up a foot or two of #64…our neighbors parked their trailer in #63 and parked their tow vehicle in all of #64 — I didn’t know if someone had reserved #64 and we would have had to move our trucks if so, but not the case the week we stayed in March; maybe during busier seasons we would have had to park our truck in front of the trailer.

Fire pits are available for free to bring to your site and cornhole, horseshoes, and huge Jenga are also onsite. We stayed in mid March during a crazy wind storm, where it rained a lot, and was very cold in general. We felt safe there and the west entrance and Visitor Center for JTNP is a five minute drive away.

Minus a star because of the online $20 site guarantee (I understand it, but it’s still lame) and all the sand (we had to level a bit) but I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Never saw the hosts as everything you need is on the bulletin board when you come in.

Wi-Fi is decent, but has some latency issues for websites and IG videos but I didn’t have any problems streaming Netflix on my phone. 2 bars of 5G T-Mobile but was pretty fast!

Tent campers there too, maybe some long termers as well, but lots of dogs too. Sunburst St is fairly busy and you get the occasional obnoxious muffler passing by but nothing too bad at all.

Convenient campground for visiting Joshua Tree National Park. Our spot was fairly level and the entire place is all sand. We didn't use the restrooms but the laundry facility was clean. There were 3 washers ($2.75/load) and 3 dryers ($2.25/load) that all worked well. They have bingo Sunday afternoons and a small bar, The Swordfish Pub that opens for a few hours on Wednesdays. The Wifi worked great. When we were there, there was no on-site management, you have to call if there is an issue. We would stay here again.
