We loved our stay here! It was such a well taken care of space and a perfect spot to stop and spend the night on our way through town!
Check the Wind before coming out! It was super windy and cold and no fires until about 9pm when the wind dropped below 8mph. But they do sell firewood at the office. The spaces are just a table and a fire pit. Not much trees or anything surrounding the spots. The lake is far from the camping spots, so you don’t really see it or get to enjoy it.

One of the best RV Parks we’ve ever stayed at. Home of the Joshua Tree Music Festival. Close to the Park and downtown. Great job Joshua Tree Lake RV and campground.
Loved this campsite! Came here with my spouse and 2 dogs. It’s a great beginner campground. Check in/out was smooth. They have bathrooms and showers available & the lake is pretty to walk around. They even have firewood and snacks for purchase. I loved the fact that security was patrolling the site at night so we felt safe. Our campsite was great because it was off the side and not near other campers while still not feeling too isolated. Would come here again!
Beautiful land and well-kept sites. Bathrooms and showers are some of the best I’ve experienced camping. My advice would be to be prepared for wind as well as heat. We improvised a tarp/ easy-up wind block so we could enjoy dinner.
