The campsite is located in a really great area close to the North entrance of Joshua Tree National Park! The campsites within the National Park book up quickly, so this is a great alternative to staying in the park. It was easy to locate and check in. The campsite we stayed in was perfect. We saw the most gorgeous stars during the night we stayed there! However, there were some issues related to water and bathrooms during the weekend we visited.
When we checked in, the power at the campsite was out. This meant that we wouldn't have access to running water or to the bathrooms. The host informed us that we could use the portable toilets located onsite, and that they had water available for purchase if needed, but that payment could only be accepted in cash. Since we didn't have cash, we had to drive into town to fill our containers with water from a gas station. I understand that power outages are unavoidable and not the fault of the site, but it would have been nice to have water available since it is listed as a feature of this campsite.
The portable toilets were very dirty and several of them didn't have toilet paper. There also wasn't hand sanitizer or soap available. We had camp soap we were able to use, but again, it would have been nice to have soap or sanitizer provided. After the power came back on, the bathrooms were reopened and were very clean and well stocked! I would stay here again, but would bring extra water and hand sanitizer in case of power outages.
