Sheep Pass Group Campground — Joshua Tree National Park
Reviewed Aug. 1, 2018

Whole campground is reservation only

Group sites at sheep pass allow you to have up to 10 vehicles. Not too far from good climbing and relatively easy access if you're interested in checking out Keyes View at Sunset. Close to Ryan Mountain trail, which has some epic views. Bring all your own water and firewood (we've ordered massive wood dropoffs from town) as none are available in the park. Heads up that unlike much of the park, this entire campground is reservation only. Super pretty, but requires some planning. Other groups can be loud, wouldn't be a bad idea to bring ear plugs. One issue we had this spring was that all tents were supposed to be within 50 feet (I believe) to the fire ring, but during the intense winds that weekend it would not have been safe to have tents anywhere close to 50 feet from the fire ring since wind swept massive embers downwind. So we were disappointed to be cited by rangers for being too far from the fire pit. Okay- that gripe out of the way- this is a solid spot.
