Campgrounds of Joshua Tree
There are campgrounds scattered all over Joshua Tree National Park. Some of them are more developed than others and have more amenities. Some of them close in the off season (summer). During the busy season (winter and spring) most campgrounds fill on weekends. During spring break and holiday weekends, virtually all sites are taken.
