Easy to get to, large sites, dump sit and water

Great location in Joshua Tree but 20 minutes from west entrance. Large pull through sites semi-level. Clean restrooms with flush toilets and running water. Good TV and cell service, close to Yucca City. It does get very windy making it uncomfortable to sit outside. Great hiking trails from Campground.

Foresty Quiet, Privately comfy

The entire buck rock area is very foresty and thick. Great variety of campsites with views of the mounatins and some sites well surrounded by trees. Large rocks provide cool comfy place to lay down. Although many peaceful but giant ants scour the grounds for food to bring back to their home. The road to get their is easily passivle during dry weather, although some parts of the roads are pretty rutted. Especially after rainy weather. Very passable to most sites by passenger vehicle, and low clearance AWD vehicles. High Clearance 4WD recommended fo cover the entire area. Weather at this place is perfect during hot seasons, due to the higher elevations. Usually chilly at night, specially around the 3-4am timesz Place is fairly empty for most the year. During busy camping seasons, campers are still well disperesed. There is one restroom with vault toilet (B.Y.O.Toilet Paper) in the entire area near the trash bins.
