We camped here in a tent in late March 2012, during spring break season. We liked that the campground had water and took reservations. Those things made it a good choice for us. I'd have to agree with some of the other reviews, however, that it isn't the cleanest or best kept public campground we've seen. We camped for five... More

While Black Rock Canyon is located within the boundaries of Joshua Tree, it is a campground on the outskirts of town (Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree). You will drive through a residential neighborhood on your way to the campsites entrance. The benefits of this campground are that you can #1,make a reservation and #2, it accommodate RVs and trailers. If... More

This campsite accommodates both tenters and trailer folk. There are pretty restrictive hours of when people can run their generators, which is great for us tenters but may seem restrictive to those in trailers. The grounds have many shrubs and Joshua trees (for the area…it is a desert) which helps with privacy and offers some shade. It was $15/site/night and... More

I don't want to disclose my exact # site, in fear that when i come back, it will be taken. But lets just say it was on top of a hill overlooking the grounds faced towards the moon. Man, what a site. The ranger was extremely helpful when I checked in. She recommended us do a panaromic 6.6 mile hike... More

We just got back from spending the weekend on this campground with a group from our church. We got there on Friday afternoon and set up camp. The campground is clean and what I found best was the fact that our site was rather flat. I very much dislike sleeping on an incline. The rangers were friendly. There is a... More

Im up at 1230am writing this review specifically because of my terrible experience here. This is not the place to go if you want to "get away from it all" or appreciate nature. It's very hard to appreciate nature when the idiots in the campsite 50 feet away are here to appreciate a cheap ($15 a night) place to drink... More

We booked our campsite on reserveamerica.com about 2 months in advance for April 15-17 weekend at $15 per night. We thought this campground would have better amenities for the friends that were with us as they don't camp much. We originally wanted to stay at Indian Cove Campground. I tried to pick a site that would be around the least... More

Camped there for a night with one of my sons. We got in two photography hikes. Very nice campground, peaceful and filled with views. The weather was absolutely perfect. You definitely want to stay here in the Spring

Black Rock Canyon is really nice. It has water (flush toilets!); it has a tents-only area (no RV generator noise--fantastic!); it has short and long hiking trails directly accessible from the campground; it has lots of birds and mammals (we saw Gamble quail, cactus wrens, jackrabbits, fluff-tail rabbits (their scientific name), a coyote, and a kangaroo rat); it has a...
