Joshua Tree Nat Park

Hi - we are currently in Lake Havasu AZ, but headed to Joshua Tree tomorrow without reservations. Can anyone recommend a campground with or without hookups? I understand Joshua Tree is huge with many Campgrounds, and we would like to get to the nearest one we can get into. We only have a cud’s us and don’t need to see the whole thing. Thanks!

  • There is no hook ups in any campground in JTNP so bring everything with you. It is the busy season so spots will be at a premium. The south entrance has free BLM camping right outside the park although the north side is the nicest. Jumbo Rocks on the north side is the nicest and being the week days you might find a spot. More flowers on the south side now as it's warmer and lower in elevation. Where ever you camp you can drive thru the whole park and it's nice to drive and stop at points of intrest.
