Black Rock Campground

Black Rock Campground is a facility within Joshua Tree National Park offering roughly one hundred campsites located at varying elevations across the property. The site includes water supply, restrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, and a vehicle dump station for guests.

The campground was created to provide visitor access to the desert environment within Joshua Tree National Park. This development expanded outdoor recreation opportunities for people exploring the park's natural landscape.

The campground serves as a central point for nature education through its Nature Center, where visitors learn about local flora, fauna, and desert ecosystems.

Guests should know that RV spaces are limited with a maximum vehicle length of about 35 feet. Water and restroom facilities are available, though their conditions may vary depending on the season and how busy the campground is.

Visitors at night often hear coyote howls echoing across the grounds, while daytime reveals small desert animals like ground squirrels and jackrabbits moving through the campsites. These wildlife encounters are a natural part of staying here.
