    The campground is first-come, first-served with 37 sites containing a table, BBQ grill, and fire ring. Most sites have a ramada to provide shade and a wind block. Potable water faucets and full restrooms with a flush toilet and sink are located throughout the campground. No showers. Eight people maximum per campsite.

    Campfires are permitted within designated fire rings. DO NOT collect firewood from the park- it is illegal, and dead vegetation provides critical habitat for the desert wildlife. Firewood may be purchased from the camp host for $6 (proceeds go to our non-profit support association). Firewood bundles are also available at the Saddleback Market, 4 miles south of the park.

    RVs/Trailers: All parking slots can accomodate up to 30'. However, exact length varies by campsite and many can accommodate longer rigs. Slots are angled for ease of backing in. Use of the RV dump station is $10 (credit card only).

    Group Camp: The Joshua Group Camp accomodates 9-30 people and up to 12 vehicles. Fee is $100 per night, available by reservation only. Contact the Mojave Sector Office at (661) 946-6092 or by email to make a reservation.
