It’ll do for a night or to visit Joshua tree
As soon as you get off the asphalt there’s a huge parking lot to camp. You can continue town a few roads to try and get privacy but there’s a lot of trash back there, people are definitely living there, and partiers seem to go further out. I tried to drive out towards the foothills but I heard gun shots? Continuing into the evening. And there was a large capacity party/event tent with 20-30 cars. So I turned back and camped at the first parking lot next to a bush and shrubs. I felt safe there as there were families and other Van and nice trailer dwellers around. I pulled out mid morning.
