Joshua Tree North BLM How Crowded: There’s usually a lot of campers here during the winter season, but because this area is so vast and flat, there’s plenty of room here. How Noisy or Peaceful: A lot of the noise comes from people riding off-road vehicles, but otherwise it’s fairly peaceful here. Cellular Phone Signal: Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, all come in strong here. Road Conditions: Paved road getting here, but on the land itself, it’s mostly hard, dry dirt. During heavy rains, this area gets muddy, and turns into a lake. Amenities Within Campground: No amenities. Cost of Camping: Completely free.
