I never been to Joshua Tree before just wanted to know what was a good place to camp their during January. Also I will know that it will get cold but will it get busy during this time of year I will go with about 5-7 friends.
Answer
The peak seasons for Joshua tree are fall through spring, winter is a bit slower but no where near as abandoned as during the summer. If you are a rock climber and traveling from a great distance you will want to make reservations at Indian cove where the best camping and rock climbing is. The only other campground reservable is black rock and it is quite a ways away from all the best sites in the park to visit and it has very small campsites all packed together. Campsites are limited to six people, three tents, and two cars (a vehicle towing a trailer, popup, tent trailer, fifth wheel or a motorhome pulling a vehicle is considered two vehicles). And they do check for compliance so get two sites if your going to have more than 6 people.
In the main park near the best sites to visit is Hidden valley campground this is a first come first served campground and fills to capacity by thursday night any time of the year so a mid week arrival is mandatory if you want to camp here.
The Park is limited in supplies and water so bring your own everything.

How is camping in Joshua Tree National Park in November?

Is it too cold? Just right? If you've been there, I want to know your thoughts!
Answer
November is a peak activity month and reserved spots go fast at Indian Cove. Get there by thursday for first come first serve campsites. Days can be nice and warm to freezing as november is an unpredictable month. I camp there every thanksgiving since 1974 and have had hot 100* days to six inches of snow. The last few days before you go is the planning time, watch the weather fronts and plan accordingly. One thing for sure is you can plan on wind, sometimes gale force, it seems mostly at night. So bring extra rope for tying down the tent and extra long tent stakes.
