Black Rock Canyon Campground
9800 Black Rock Canyon Rd, Yucca Valley, CA
Black Rock Canyon Campground sits in the northwest corner of Joshua Tree National Park, just south of Yucca Valley off Highway 62, with about 100 campsites set among Joshua trees. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, and the campground has potable water spigots, flush toilets, and a dump station that serves RVs up to 35 feet, though the internal roads are rough enough to challenge low-clearance vehicles.
Because it isn't connected to the park's main access roads, Black Rock offers more separation from the busier parts of Joshua Tree, and it has a small visitor center with a gift shop. Reservations run through recreation.gov and can be made up to six months ahead for individual sites, with a separate area available for horse owners.
