BLM Joshua Tree South Entrance

It’s actually very quiet even though the freeway is close. The trash right off the freeway is so sad, but the actual BLM further in is clean. I was able to get our CTC level and we love our spot. Easy access to JTNP, Palm Springs, and many other sites around.

Avoid long vehicles far down the road

Nice little spot about two miles from the highway, fairly secluded with many sites scattered around. Suggest arriving before nightfall as it’s difficult to see into the sites at night. I would STRONGLY suggest any trailer vehicles or vehicles over 24 feet, do not continue beyond a few miles- the road starts to become more of a trail, 4x4 experience- narrow corridors and blind hills with short tracts of very high grade. A class A or travel trailer WILL get stuck here!
