Very good experience only because our area was mostly empty. Other parts of the campground looked rather full. Strange reservation system.

Jumbo Rocks is a great place to stay if you want to do some light hiking from the campsite. The starry night are incredible, specially in the Summer. Unfortunately, there was some pretty obscene graphite that was sprayed very recently, right on the boulders. It's crazy to think how people can be so disrespectful of nature and others peace of mind. I hope it gets cleared out soon #79.

Great place! Very few people. We saw sunset and sunrise from the site, and the stars too.

@HollyH3892241 · Camped on Jul 19, 2025 at Campsite #119

Came in July so it was hot hot. Cooled down by 6pm. Am time was still cool at 10am when we left.This site is the best w the most room. We fit 2 tents.

@MariaM4161283 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #86

Beautiful

@CynthiaR216720 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #64

Loved the site and proximity to restrooms. Nice blend of scenery.

@JoshuaC4915082 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #20

Lots of coyotes! But I was the only person in the campground and Im sure they wouldnt come around much when a bunch of people are camping. Lol

@EsmeraldaA7FF6 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #39

Space was pretty clean and great views. Spot was very close to Skull Rock Trail. The only thing that people should know is that you might hear coyotes at night. I would recommend this spot again!

@Emiliad8DCD48C · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #88

Campground was great and the site had some shade from a nearby bush in the evening (if you want more shade go on the other side of the road). Unfortunately the site next to us was very load and disruptive keeping us up all night

@DanielleS79088 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #71

I was skeptical about the presence of Jumbo Rocks at the campground as I was driving in but was delightfully impressed! I love how the campsites have been built into the rock formations to give each site a level of natural privacy. Sites were clean and exactly as described. Other guests were quiet and polite. Next time Ill come when its a bit cooler but otherwise I really enjoyed it.

@ChrisM9524349 · Camped on Jul 12, 2025 at Campsite #35

This is a good spot to view the stars. Unfortunately the site was downwind from the bathroom and the smell was a little strong. I used this exact site the previous year, but didn't have any problem.

@SeanQing252421 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #71

One of the best campgrounds Ive stayed

@KristinK721393 · Camped on Jul 7, 2025 at Campsite #119

Amazing landscape, wonderful spot for tenting - starry night, high moon and coyote howling. It was a real adventure. Kids loved it.

@WilliamR509139 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #5

Super quiet and clean. Camp number five was great. It had a huge rock. You could climb up on to see the stars. The site was quiet at bedtime. Will definitely come back.

@AveryP5A187CA6 · Camped on Jul 5, 2025 at Campsite #59

Plenty of space and a beautiful setting.

@EdwinA36F4DFBF · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #11

This is our 3rd year camping at Jumborock during the summer, we love it.

@SyedTA577676FD · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #18

Camp site was clean and there was note clearly noticeable about fire restriction.

@AliciaD8372695 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #71

Nice area, but no check in so and limited reception so needed to have information downloaded before arrival.

@EliasM0DD65DCA · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #39

short walk from the car, felt very private, lots of choices for where to set up camp. Absolutely incredible

@Christoph82403 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #2

So quiet! My kids loved climbing on the huge rocks and we enjoyed the peaceful setting.

@RonW5376631 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #41

Jumbo Rock Campground is a first rate site with an interesting view aroubd every turn. We saw Coyotes, squirrels and blue jays. The easy hike from there to Skull Rock was awesome.

@AbbeA2D7D1FC09 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #69

Great spot!

@JacobA1142886 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #17

We spent 3 nights at Jumbo Rocks campground, site #017. The campground is located close to hiking trails and the eponymous jumbo rocks. The site itself is flat with room for at least 2 tents and has a fire ring, elevated BBQ, and concrete picnic table. Finally bathrooms are located nearby and they are kept clean and stocked. During our stay no fires of any type were allowed and there is no water available at this campground. Excellent experience and I recommend this campground.

@MadelineB21467 · Camped on Jun 18, 2025 at Campsite #10

Awesome spot with great views of surrounding landscape. Bathrooms are maintained and the sites are clean and surrounded by desert plants. would stay here again!

@FarrenSCA8B23A · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #80

Site 080 was perfect for me and my friends. Plenty of room for multiple tents, can park right in front of the site and is in between 2 bathrooms. It is also close to the skull rock trail. Definitely dont recommend going during the summer since it gets really hot and warms up the tents in the morning. Also did wake up to some coyote tracks around the tent and heard them late in the night but nothing to worry about.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
