Close to 29 Palms Hwy/Hwy 62, this campground accepts reservations for tents and RVs via phone or www.recreation.gov from October to May (first come, first served otherwise). Many of the 101 sites with tables and fire grates are set among big boulders and thus offer an atmospheric nature setting and decent privacy. Water is available at the nearby ranger station.
