This camping site came in really handy for us as the official campgrounds in Joshua Tree park are closed due to Covid-19 regulations. We arrived right before sunset and were able to get a nice spot pretty distanced from other sites. The road in is VERY uneven so caution is advised. We drove in a Ford Explorer with a cricket trailer and managed fine but keep your eyes peeled and take it slow. There is little to no shade in the lakebed and there are lots of burrs and prickly things which should be kept in mind if you plan to bring your furry friends. There are some campfire rings in some of the sites which is nice and it seems that people have been very good at packing in and packing out. The sites were clean, although we did find some shotgun shells lying around. Cell reception was good for T-Mobile and Sprint. Would definitely come back, although probably at a warmer time of the year.
