Joshua Tree's reservable sites vanish fast. Dibs on Dirt monitors all four campgrounds. We email you when any site opens.

Just two hours from Los Angeles and San Diego, Joshua Tree draws over 3 million visitors a year, yet the park offers fewer than 400 reservable campsites. Spring weekends and holiday weekends consume the entire 6-month booking window within hours of opening.
Peak season runs October through April, and the most sought-after campgrounds don't wait. Black Rock and Indian Cove are routinely gone first; Cottonwood and Jumbo Rocks follow within the same morning. Cancellations post to Recreation.gov in real time and are claimed within seconds.
Dibs on Dirt runs continuously across all four campgrounds (Black Rock, Cottonwood, Indian Cove, and Jumbo Rocks) and emails you when a site becomes available in your date range. No refreshing. No luck required.
