Definitely take the hike to Skull Rock and explore the surrounding Jumbo Rocks.

@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Dec 22, 2025 at Campsite #32

Great location. The campsite of #32 is excellent spot to watch the sunrise and close to the bathroom. This was my 2nd time staying at Jumbo rocks campground and it has great hikes close by such as Skull rock and Split rock.

@LiamF0029CA7A7 · Camped on Dec 21, 2025 at Campsite #47

The campsites are a bit too close together. I understand that the wildlife is part of the experience however, when you have too many people close together like that, it brings too many night creatures.

@AndrewW8618299 · Camped on Dec 21, 2025 at Campsite #19

Great spot for kids, they love exploring while the adults are setting up or tending to the campsite.

@berniedB5A0E1B · Camped on Dec 20, 2025 at Campsite #117

Great site and great park! All paved, easy walk to Jumbo Rocks and Skull Rock. Our 25 foot RV fit perfectly, this site is more private than most.

@Nurfitrah300E7 · Camped on Dec 19, 2025 at Campsite #82

We really love it. We had site 82 and whole boulder rocks for ourselves. Quiet (except for noisy neighbors) and perfect star gazing location. Really love it and will highly recommend to anyone who are looking for campsite in Joshua Tree National Park.

@RossCBD090DE61 · Camped on Dec 19, 2025 at Campsite #61

Always magical at Jumbo Rocks

@coryw6068057 · Camped on Dec 19, 2025 at Campsite #10

Unfortunately, there was another family in our campsite. We had to sleep in our car while they enjoyed their Pabst Blue Ribbons and roaring fireplace. They did not offer to move to their actual site (we were site 10 and they were supposed to be 110). There should be a proper check-in/monitoring system to prevent this.

@NuwanD2604B2E7 · Camped on Dec 18, 2025 at Campsite #82

Clean, nice facility, great climbing spots for kids and stargazing

@GerryS1A331A06 · Camped on Dec 16, 2025 at Campsite #27

Jumbo Rocks is our favorite place to camp. Very peaceful, clean rest rooms, great hiking, great night skies.

@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Dec 16, 2025 at Campsite #95

Wonderful location. Great for stargazing, hiking on to the nearby trails, or just venturing out and scampering around on the rocks. Will definitely be back!

@nicholasl16533 · Camped on Dec 14, 2025 at Campsite #97

Wonderful hiking throughout the park. Recommend Ryan Mountain, Boyscout Trail and Arch Rock. The cholla cactus gardens at sunrise is spectacular. There is no water, fuel, wood or anything other then well maintained latrines so bring the supplies you need. There is also no cell service (so peaceful....)Kuddo's to the park officials and to all of the volunteers - thank you, thank you

@StephenM951052 · Camped on Dec 13, 2025 at Campsite #66

Great site nestled into the boulders. A little small for a group but great for 2

@MeaghanH68DA12 · Camped on Dec 13, 2025 at Campsite #18

Amazing, private space.

@MelonyS8F43FD1 · Camped on Dec 13, 2025 at Campsite #108

So beautiful. Very cold at night, not the most private during the day & noisy neighbors but other than that it was amazing to see the stars & the Geminid meteor shower

@MikaJ57037D20C · Camped on Dec 12, 2025 at Campsite #49

Spot 49 was great!! Its close to bathrooms (they were very clean) and tucked away into its own little area, further away from others compared to other sites. Ton of space and perfect for sunset. Our tent was a six person tent and the space made it look small. When coming back to Joshua tree, we will definitely be back to this spot!

@BethP5730818 · Camped on Dec 12, 2025 at Campsite #120

This was my first time camping in Joshua Tree and it was a great experience. I stayed to view the meteor shower in December. It was easy to book and the campgrounds have all the basics, include a toilet nearby. I will definitely be back again.

@MaureenS904301 · Camped on Dec 9, 2025 at Campsite #71

Lovely stay, so many great sites. We were in 71, which I recommend.

@BarbaraM393111 · Camped on Dec 8, 2025 at Campsite #90

Clean campground, clean toilets, small sites. Nice hike from the campground to Skull Rock. When we pulled into our site there was a line of large RVs parked/camped on the other side of the street. They had their generators on even tho it was not during the approved generator time. We decided to move to a different campsite

@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Dec 8, 2025 at Campsite #2

Very clean, quiet campground

@KarenW6722333 · Camped on Dec 7, 2025 at Campsite #45

Enjoyed a quiet, peaceful three night stay at Jumbo Rocks campground. Plenty of clean vault toilets spread around the campground. A trailhead to Skull Rock was in the campground. No cell service was available on T-MOBILE. Plenty of available hikes, from easy to strenuous. A fun trip to Joshua Tree!

@MarcelS6745071 · Camped on Dec 7, 2025 at Campsite #87

Make sure u bring water The bathroom cleanIf u pay 30 $ a night they can invest in some cheap solar panels and lights for bathrooms.!!!!!!

@RichM3656035 · Camped on Dec 7, 2025 at Campsite #120

Campsites are close to one another with little privacy. However, this campground is in the middle of Joshua Tree NP and connected to trails that allow you to explore the surrounding areas and to scramble nearby rock formations. The vault toilets are relatively clean and have low odor. You do not have to drive far from this campground to get to other trails, viewpoints, rock climbing areas, and exhibits along Park Blvd.

@YingxinGE43D9B · Camped on Dec 6, 2025 at Campsite #30

Spacious corner compared to other sites nearby, though you have to walk a little bit from the parking, which could not be a problem if you light packed or with a wheeled cart. The weather in December was nice, not too cold by the fire pit in the evening and the morning was way better than the early summer. We took plenty of water, and not a hard time for us. A great night to be disconnected. So chill under the stars.

@DirkSBC35D33AE · Camped on Dec 4, 2025 at Campsite #74

I love this place in Joshua Tree NP!

@ChazInSoCal - CA

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
