What is the least crowded site at joshua tree? Also, if my group left on a sunday morning for camping and stayed through tuesday or wednesday would it be busy?
Answer
This time of year Joshua Tree fills up at every campground on the weekend, weekdays would be less crowded. The best area can be reserved in advance at Indian cove. Hidden Valley and Jumbo rocks fill up first any day of the week because they are closest to the best climbing and sightseeing If you want privacy and can spend the gas driving then right near the southern entrance at cottonwood would be the best. I stay in Joshua tree a lot 2-3 times a year and never have had an issue with party animals, and I always stay at either Indian cove or Hidden Vally. Joshua Tree is very well known internationally it is very likely that your camping neighbor will be a european, greet them and enjoy the company they love meeting folks from Cali.

In the process of planning a camping trip, but most locations seem to be very "park like" and are far too "RV Friendly." I'm looking for a more desolate location where I won't hear the noise from my neighbors. Preferably we'd like areas near hiking trails and fishing/hunting areas, but the most important thing is actually in getting as far away from RVs and other noisy campers as possible.
Answer
if you really want an rv-free experience, you need to look for primitive sites. these are sites with no electricity, no bathrooms (well, maybe pit toilets), and occasionally no water.
in summer, the only tolerable places are the mountains. check out the national forest websites for the Angeles, San Bernardino & Cleveland NF's. look at their campsite listings and look for "primitive" or similar descriptions. call and ask which campgrounds get the most & the least traffic. in the winter, i love to hit the deserts - Joshua Tree (although you will find RVs there), Death Valley, Mojave Preserve. although the mountains can be nice in winter, too.
also, look for state parks in the area. obviously the beach parks will be overrun in sunny weather, but we camped at the beach for new Year's once and had the place almost to ourselves.
there are other places, but i've listed those that are closest to the LA/IE/OC population centers. hope it helped!
