Every summer, temperatures rise and campers decrease in Joshua Tree National Park. To reduce maintenance and allow vegetation a breather, several camping areas will close as of this Monday, June 10.
- Cottonwood Campground, (Loop B)
- Belle Campground
- Ryan Campground
- White Tank Campground
- Indian Cove Campground family sites (West Loop) Sites 40-101
- Black Rock Campground, sites (49-60 & 69-99)
The last day to use Recreation.gov for campsite reservations will be tomorrow, June 8. Starting June 9, all open, family campgrounds will be first come, first served. Group sites will remain on the reservation system through the summer with one day in advance reservations accepted. Jumbo Rocks and Hidden Valley campgrounds will be open all summer. Campgrounds will reopen August 30.
