We had a pretty good time in David’s campsite. Great views with Yucca trees. The area feels private and secluded. David also is great at communicating and provided clear directions on how to get there. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to spend time away in the middle of the desert.

I love Wilhart Crossing! I've stayed here multiple times now. It's a lovely campground surrounded by Joshua trees that's well kept up, private, and have gorgeous views of sunrise/sunset! This place is one of my best kept secrets of the Joshua Tree area. Thank you for your hospitality as always David! :D

I did a lovely overnighter here just an hour from San Diego. Nice quiet spot at over 2000ft, so the air is clean, the skies were clear and the stars were out in full stunning glory.

Directions were perfect. Great host. Secluded, next to a majestic Joshua tree, great for dark sky events and yet really close to everything. Two wheel drive no problem by following the directions. You can see the attention to detail in how very well the site is maintained. I had a great experience and would do it again. Thank you!

Friendly host and perfect location at the base of Palomar with easy access to the Observatory and Hiking trails a short 15-20 minute drive away. The pool and recreation room were also wonderful surprise features that made this campground even more enjoyable!

This campground has so much to offer. There is a lake for swimming and fishing with a floating mat and trampoline. They have a pickle ball court right next to the water and it was such a beautiful place to gather. They have a basketball hoop on the pickle ball court as well. There's a pool table as well. What impressed me the most was the super friendly, happy staff. They were so helpful to me when I struggled to get my trailer parked. We plan on returning for another family trip.

I absolutely loved staying here. We rented a pull in site with full hookups and it was nestled right next to another site, between two cabins, with an awesome view of the lake just a few feet in front of us.
The place was recently renovated with a ton of things to do like paddle boats, paddle boards, water inflatables, fishing, a short hike around the property, and numerous communal firepits/BBQs.
The place seemed well kept and maintained, we saw several attentive staff roaming around in golf carts through out the day.
If you’re looking to camp in an area where there facilities and don’t mind running into people throughout the stay, this is the place for you.

My friends and I loved this space! The directions can seem overwhelming, but we put Wilhart Drive into google maps and followed that to the dirt road path and then followed David's written out directions and it was super easy! This spot is only 20 minutes from the park entrance and about 10 from all my favorite coffee shops so that was perfect, secluded for camping but not too far! We did see some rats the first night but just made sure to secure our food away while sleeping and we did not have any issues.

The location is great. Close to Joshua Tree National Park. Lots of privacy at night and the stars were incredible. Only issue is that the site is right next to a dirt bike path. So it was very noisy until the sun went down and the path was no longer in use.
