Best campground in Joshua tree national park, but no water..Location: 4/5
One of the most beautiful experiences of my life. The place is extremely quiet but you feel safe 100% . Bathrooms are located at a walking distance and you find toilet paper, it's clean and you see the park officers cleaning and disinfecting for Covid 19. The view is gorgeous and the tents are easily installed, you find fire pit and a grill.
Great campground for family or a large group. We went with our Boy Scout Troop for the weekend and managed to fit about 15 tents plus have plenty of room for several cooking areas. Fire pit is huge. Pit latrines are close enough and far enough from the site to be comfortable and not have the unpleasant odors waft into the camping area. Will note, there is no water or firewood available in the immediate area so you should bring a good supply with you. Cell service is not available in most of the park, but wandering around a bit can find pockets of service. Plenty of trails to go hiking and bouldering on in the vast desert grounds. Be sure to be prepared for the desert weather. It is cold at night and can be very hot in the direct sun. Pop up shelters are recommended for an escape during peak temperature hours.
I found sheeps pass campground right where it’s been. You see I visited Joshua Tree National park for the first time in 20 years. I was impressed by the work the park service did. Seeing a new area was grand! It was night when I drove off the highway. on dirt DONT DRIVE OFF ROad!! It was something totally new! The Monument had become a Park! It was so cool . Being familiar the night suburbs bring it took a while for me to come acclimated.i looked around carefully mindful of the car it took to open this . In and around the campground care had been taken to sheer off dangerous low hanging and in places. That’s the park service.
I had an experience here. Having grown up visiting the monument in the early eek entrance and foubd this capseventies. My hippi uncle and his friends brought me here and taught me ecology although I didn’t know it at the time. So although sheep’s pass was there although I had not became an adventure of years gone by. Each area of the monument has its unique features although they appear to look alike. So when I had paid for a week entrance, stopped by my he 29 palms Park visitor center. Remarkably the newest displayed the Park in a holistic way bringing the people of the past in our vision. Knowing every camp site circa 1980 in the park I was on the hunt for afternoon shade over the taboe. Eventually I found the space I was looking for. The quiet solitude of footsteps gave way to deafening silence! Ah! Joshua Tree!
Great tent camping with very low light pollution at night so the stars are amazing! Facilities are close by and the site was very clean. Nice bouldering close by both walking distance as well as a few quick drives. Can't wait to go back this season.
Great group campground with lots of climbing to do. Perfect spot for groups of children ages 8 and up with lots to explore. No water, no power, only a couple of chemical bathrooms.
Nice trails, water pumps, normal restrooms... Pretty views of lots of Joshua trees and yucca, it's a different experience then that off the beaten path type of camping. Definitely a cool spot, we will be back!
Wow! We loved this place. It was safe, restrooms were there in walking distances.
In a couple days at sheet past campground amazing views sites and weather if you have not been out there check it out we had a great time
