Close to the city, and still nowhere near a signal.
Joshua Tree is deceptive: it is two hours from Los Angeles and still has almost no service once you are inside the park. Hidden Valley, Jumbo Rocks, and the Pinto Basin road are all effectively dark.
It is one of the most common working-remote-from-the-desert trips there is, and one where people are consistently surprised by how fast the bars vanish.
Sky and obstruction
Very good, with a local quirk. The desert itself is open and low, so sky access is generally excellent. The quirk is the rock: campsites here are famously tucked between enormous monzogranite boulder piles, and a site wedged in a rock alcove can lose a surprising amount of horizon. Step out of the rocks into the flat and it clears immediately.
