Some friends and I are exploring the idea of heading out to Joshua Tree this weekend for some hiking and camping. This would be a first for all of us and we have no clue what to bring. Do they rent out tents or do we have to buy? also we like to hike? what trails would you recommend we explore? and what are must do things while at Joshua Tree? what about food wise? what should we bring? what about showering? greatly appreciate all responses.
Thank you

You're going to love Joshua Tree. It's unique.
I had actually started to respond to your questions because I hike and camp a lot and have been to Joshua Tree many times. But then I realized that YOU need to do the research on your own.
Here's just one of many links that you can access. http://www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/camping.htm
I will offer one bit of advice. You say you want to go camping and it will be your first time. That's awesome. Camping is something special and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. But anytime you walk in to a natural setting, whether it's a National Park or not, you need to understand that nature is not a theme park. Joshua Tree is very safe in some ways but very dangerous in others.
In terms of hiking there are many established trails throughout the park. Joshua Tree has exceptional hiking. But don't forget. It takes just a second for a great time to turn bad. You screw around on a boulder the chance for injury is high. You're in rattlesnake country so if you stick your hand in an area you can't see in to or don't watch your step, the chance for a bite is there. You decide to head off trail to go explore and the next thing you know you have no idea how to get back. It happens. So have fun...but be smart.
Oh...and don't talk loudly at night at your campsite. That's just the worst camping etiquette there is. Just groove on the quiet and the stars. That's where it's at.

Good places to go camping in Southern California?
drtoucan
Can someone recommend some places for camping in southern California (preferably San Diego county, but doesn't have to be) for camping.
Especially a place that is good for backpacking (you know, carrying your tent and all supplies in a backpack, then setting up camp wherever)
I will give out best answer
Thanks :)

My favorite place in Socal to camp is Joshua Tree National Park, it ROCKS! Literally. Fantastic landscape and fun but don't go in the summer. It's best in spring but good in Fall and not bad in the winter as long as the winds not howling.
