Really great campground not too far from Joshua Tree National Park. Be sure to take the road from 62 and not from the north or it's 5 miles of dirt road. Owner was very friendly, sites were level and clean.

Very clean park. Sites could be a bit more level. You face your neighbors front door and the spaces are not that big. For a desert RV park it was good I would stay again Good water, power and sewer hookup’s Lady in the office was very nice and helpful
