Found it on FreeCampgrounds. $8 a night. We’re actually in the parking lot. Didn’t realize there are actual camp sites up a hill on a dirt road till after we’d parked and put down the stabilizers. Probably about eight or ten sites – back-ins and not very deep. I didn’t walk in far enough to see if there was a turn around at the end of the road. We’re fine with the parking lot. There were about five pickups with trailers here when we got here. They were for ATVs and they all left by 4:30. The street going past here is not heavily used – maybe one car every five minutes, so I think it should be quiet here tonight (although I can hear some thumpy music coming from somewhere right now. I hope that doesn’t last!)

US 93 is the road down here from Vegas and part of it is named the Joshua Tree Forest Scenic Highway. Lots of Joshuas at the higher elevations and they were just finished blooming. The flowers looked pretty dried up, but it probably looked really nice when they were all blooming. Saguaros are abundant in the area too, and there were some specimens. Not in bloom though. 🙁
