<h2>Overview</h2>
<p><strong>Beginning September 1, 2021 same-day reservations can be made if sites are available.</strong></p>
<p>Indian Cove Campground lies amid the huge, steep rock formations for which Joshua Tree National Park is known. Because of its proximity to many rock climbing routes, it is a popular camping location for climbers. Indian Cove Group is one of three group campgrounds in the park that can be reserved year round. To get the most out of your visit <a href="https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/jotrtop10.htm" rel="nofollow">Plan Like a Park Ranger</a> </p>
<p>Travelers who enjoy warm, dry winters flock to Joshua Tree from October through May, when temperatures hover between 70-90 degrees during the day and drop to a 40-60 degree range at night. Summer is the park's off-season due to the uncomfortably-high desert heat. Indian Cove is at an elevation of 3,200 feet.</p>
<h2>Recreation</h2>
<p>Rock climbers flock to Indian Cove Campground for the variety of routes and warmer temperatures that can be found in the interior of the park. Several hiking trails also leave from the campground. There is a short interpretive nature trail and plenty of rocks for the non-climber to explore within the facility. Clear desert skies are perfect for star-gazing and night photography.</p>
<h2>Facilities</h2>
<p>This facility has 13 tent-only group sites (<a href="https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232472" rel="nofollow">link to individual sites</a>). There are no hookups or drinking water in the campground, however water and an emergency phone are available two miles away at the ranger station. The town of Twentynine Palms is less than 10 miles away and provides basic amenities.   </p>
<p>The maximum number of people and vehicles per site varies. See Site Details for specifics.</p>
<h2>Natural Features</h2>
<p>Campsites are nestled on a flat, sandy surface between large boulders that tower in unique shapes over the campground and rise up from the otherwise uniform desert landscape. The rocks were formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago and have been exposed and shaped by wind and water over time. They brighten with soft pastel hues during the morning and evening sunlight and glow with campfire light by night. Visitors may want to keep their eyes out for typical desert inhabitants such as lizards, rattlesnakes, scorpions, ravens, squirrels and desert tarantulas during the cooler months of the year. Bobcats and mountain lions do live in the park, however they are rarely seen near humans.</p>
<h2>Charges &amp; Cancellations</h2>
<p><strong>Individual Site:</strong> A $10.00 service fee will apply if you change your reservation. Cancellations more than 48 hours in advance of arrival date incur a $10 cancellation fee. Within 48 hours of arrival, a $10 cancellation fee and the first night's fee are charged.</p>
<p><strong>Group Site:</strong> Customers who cancel a group overnight reservation less than 14 days before the arrival date will pay a $10.00 service fee AND forfeit the first night's use fee.</p>

Beginning September 1, 2021 same-day reservations can be made if sites are available.
