to & from

Take your most comfortable vehicle from home…easily accessible from LA, Orange County, Phoenix and San Diego or fly to Palm Springs and drive an hour into Joshua Tree National Park. I recommend entering through the West Gate and exiting through Cottonwood Gate to see the diversity of the entire region.n

Where to Stay

Camp! Plenty different campgrounds and choice spots to choose from. First come, first serve.
