NW17 Northwest #17 Tent Site

Tons of space! Great view of the stars. Campsite sells firewood and it’s cool getting to have a fire when you sometimes can’t in the National park. The bathrooms near the tent sites are porta-potties fyi. There was a Gem Show in the RV portion of the camp, which was an awesome discovery. Will be going back here!

W03 West Side #3 Tent Site

It was pretty sick, there's a lake to hang out around, ducks in said lake, and the facilities are nice. Bathrooms, shower, store to buy firewood snacks and duck feed, it was super chill. There's a trail that takes you from the site to the top of a large hill/small mountain with an awesome view. When I went, there was a gemstone show, so there were food trucks, which was a brilliant surprise. Definitely coming back.

Great place! The facilities (restrooms and showers) were clean and had hot water. The camping area had a fire pit and picnic table as described in the add. The staff were very nice too. Highly recommended!

Dry RV NH 9 Camp #9 No Hookups

Joshua Tree Lakes staff were welcoming and helpful. The sites were clean and well maintained. They even rake the sites between visitors! We stayed in the dry RV sites which were large and perfect for star gazing at night. It is close to both of the north entrances to Joshua tree state park and the towns of Joshua Tree and 29 Palms. And yes, there is a small lake there!
