North of Joshua Tree BLM

  The campgrounds of Joshua Tree National Park fill fast so visitors often boondock on the BLM north and south of the park. The area to the north is a dry lake bed, barren and dusty, but quiet except on weekends when off-roaders arrive. The land to the west and south of the lake bed is private. Make sure that you are camped on public land.

  The second day of our stay was very windy but luckily we had parked close to the dried grass at the edge of the lake bed which kept the dust from blowing on us. If we stay here again we’ll probably park closer to the hills for protection from the wind and dust.

  Access is possible with any RV, however, the  roads have large potholes and are washboard. The lake bed itself is huge so there’s plenty of room to spread out.  Boondock  34.16776, -116.2218
