Decent for proximity to the park entrance
There are basically an unlimited amount of spots which makes it a good option for late arrivals to camp after spending a day in Joshua Tree, however it is riddled with garbage and broken glass. People were shooting guns into the mountain until 12am and resumed as soon as the sun came up at 6am, not the most pleasant alarm clock. The sunset is nice, and it isn’t hard to find a level surface. I had 3 bars of 5G with T-Mobile. Very hot during the day, zero shade.
