Black Rock Campground Solo Female Minivan Camping at Joshua Tree with My Shih Tzu

Join me and my senior Shih Tzu Flynn as we explore Black Rock Campground in Joshua Tree National Park! šŸ•ļø We camped overnight in my trusty 2006 Toyota Sienna and tested out some new gear: an RTIC cooler, a Costco 2-person camping chair, and the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler vest for Flynn 🐶. It wasn’t all smooth sailing—we faced strong desert winds, a constantly tipping tripod šŸŽ„, noisy neighbors with loud music and screaming kids šŸŽ¶šŸ™‰, and yes… I walked right into a Joshua tree (ouch! šŸŒµšŸ˜…). Despite the chaos, we soaked in stunning desert views, peaceful moments with Flynn, and some valuable gear insights for fellow minivan campers and dog lovers. šŸŒ„šŸš If you’re into minivan life, solo female camping, camping with dogs, or are curious about Black Rock Campground, this one’s for you!
