Joshua Tree Lake RV & Campground

Lindsey

Friendly and informative staff! Clean bathrooms and campsites were well maintained. Convenient location to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. Bring earplugs, the coyotes are loud at night!

Just far enough out that there's very little city light corruption that usually spoils good star gazing. It's dark here at night and if you look up you'll see more stars, that seem brighter than ever before. Still close enough to hit the many shops in town. They offer military discounts of 20% (Feb 12, 2026). We are on the tailend of a month long camping trip and we normally stay a few days at each location, but because of the peaceful nature, no noise or light pollution at night, we keep extending our stay. The staff are all very helpful and make you feel welcomed to their grounds. This is a camping area we will be staying at whenever we go to San Diego to visit family because it's exactly 1/2 way for us. There is no other place we have been able to stay at for $48 a night for full electric, water and on site sewer hookup. We couldn't pick up many channels with a air antenna on the TV but there is service at the site through Verizon and AT&T (have a phone through each because AT&T works better in Arizona house, Verizon works at farm home in Alabama) Brochure says there is wifi and it does show a very strong signal to a local internet provider.

The only area for improvement I observed at this campground is the demeanor of the individual at the service desk, who was not very welcoming. I believe additional training or a review of customer service standards may be beneficial. Aside from that, the rest of the staff was excellent, with Mia being particularly helpful. Thank you, Mia, for assisting us in securing an additional night’s spot across from our original location. The service desk staff member assigned us to the wrong site, which was four spots further away, but Mia kindly resolved the issue. The bathrooms and showers were consistently clean, and the showers were particularly excellent, especially compared to others I have used. We plan to return to this campground in the future, and I hope there will be a change at the service desk to enhance the guest experience.

November 2025. 4 years of vanlife! I had no problems here. I arrived and hour early because I was still using Arizona time. But I was able to check in. The staff here were perfectly mannered. Noone was yelling and shouting as one person said. (Im sure they are just upset because they couldn't do as they please.) Everyone was helpful. And they even found a way to help me fulfill my van needs. The showers are closed for a bit for cleaning in the AM. These showers are modern and mint. Ill take the short closure over the mainly disgusting bathrooms Ive seen in many other places. They close the gate at night so if you go out late that is SLIGHTLY inconvenient. But I prefer the security of it over anyone being able to come in. The place is quite good sized. They have everything from full service RV trailer spots all the way down to dry camping tent sites. Trash. Water. Bathrooms. And showers are for all guests. It only cost me 15 bucks for a dry tent site for the night. Keeping in mind NPSs new rates are at least 20 a night, Ill take this. And its wonderful to take a shower after a dirty day of hiking the desert! My site had a working picnic table and fire barrel. I used the GPS coordinates on their website and my Garmin brought me right here. Just be aware that Garmin calls the road by a different name. Joshua Tree National Park road is just a stones throw from here. As well you arrive within 10 miles from good 'ol Walmart. Even if you're not a guest you can separately pay for showers (10 bucks) and RV dumps. Keep in mind truck stops get 18 for a shower in unsafe and often filthy environments. Im recommending this place. Id have no problem staying here again.

We really enjoyed our one night stay here. The staff is great! We called rather late, 9pm, with questions before arriving and they answered on the 2nd ring. Very helpful and friendly! Camp site was spacious, flat, with easy hookups and the shower was clean with great water pressure. We even enjoyed some nice stargazing! We would stay here again :)
