Hidden Valley Campground is one of the most scenic campgrounds in Joshua Tree National Park. The campground is set in a small valley, surrounded by hills of bare red rock and spectacular, round, huge boulders. Although it is popular mainly among rock climbing enthusiasts, the great natural outdoor playground that it provides makes it a perfect destination for families with kids as well!

Hidden Valley Campground is a mid-sized campground located at the heart of Joshua Tree National Park in southeast California. It is open year round but since it is located at a relatively high elevation of 4,200 feet, nights can be cold and during winter, snow may cover the reddish desert soil. Adjacent to the park is a nice hiking trail (one mile roundtrip) that loops within a beautiful Hidden Valley.

Hidden Valley Campground offers around 40 sites. Facilities in the campground include pit toilets and picnic tables. Drinking water is not available at the campsites, but can be found in the Oasis Visitor Center in Twentynine Palms, the Indian Cove Ranger Station, and the Black Rock and Cottonwood Campgrounds. This campground is not suitable for motorhomes that exceed 25 feet. Reservations are not accepted, but there are generally available sites. Hidden Valley Campground is located 14 miles from the Joshua Tree Visitor Center (on Highway 62), on the left. Bring the whole family and have a great time hiking through the Hidden Valley of Joshua Tree National Park!
