The sunset and sunrise are stunners, and the views of the Joshua Tree forests mingled with the desert landscape and distant mountains create a zen-like vibe.
Each island has one campground (reservations needed), and only two islands permit backcountry camping. The views of the water, rocky islands, and sea caves are well worth the trip.
There are public and private campgrounds, and backcountry camping is permitted in some areas of the park. However, it is not recommended to attempt this in the hotter months.
No matter where you camp within this park, great care has to be taken with any fires, and you'll need to bring your own wood or purchase some from a vendor within the park.
This national park is more than just its Joshua trees. Canyons, flats, and overlooks provide desert views of the gorgeous place and the wildlife that thrives there.
