Awesome campground with clean and accessible bathrooms and close to lots of short treks and bouldering

Extremely loud neighbors until 1am, zero consideration for nearby campers trying to sleep.

One of the most incredible campgrounds we've ever stayed in. Stunningly beautiful setting. We experienced quiet nature. Loved the hiking trails and our large and private site. Highly recommend!

Clean and spacious area. Enjoyed the feeling of being out so far even with camp Nieghbors you still feel isolated.
@Antoinett86583 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #25
This is definitely a park where you want to get out of the car and stretch your legs. There are a lot of trails of all difficulty levels, so anyone should be able to find a trail to match their abilities.
@LindaG8382093 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #88
There are several nice hikes, of varying lengths and difficulty, right from the campground.

I had spot 105 and was slightly rough to find it but I did! It wasnt very private at all but the one wall of rocks nearby helped a bit. Parked cars were about 15 feet away and campsite neighbors had to walk past me to reach their cars/sites. However, I very much enjoyed my stay! This was the only site open and I was just excited to camp in JT for the first time after wanting to forever. Pit toilet and trash receptacles were nearby. Big rocks also nearby, nice for sunset and sunrise views. A little noise from the road a ways off but nothing crazy at all. Excellent stargazing! Would recommend if theres not a more private site open.

Autumn is by far the best time to go. Park employees did an exceptional job despite the Govnmnt Shut Down.
@MatthewK865533 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #74
Beautiful location! Overlaps with site 75. If you were with a group it would be fun to book both together!

Love Joshua tree!

Jumble Rocks Has to be one of the best campgrounds in the country. So many great sites tucked in the rocks with the dessert carpeted with yellow flowers!
@TedR4D2236430F · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #83
You canceled. Then you opened. Then you canceled again. Opened again. Canceled, opened. At your instruction, did not go. No refunds. What the F.
@TedR4D2236430F · Camped on Oct 7, 2025 at Campsite #71
You closed the campground. No refund. Then asked me to rate the experience. I can only answer, poor.

As this was my first time camping, the experience at Joshua Tree was amazing. The Jumbo Rocks were close to town out the west entrance when additional supplies were needed. The moon rise over the rocks were stunning, my particular spot was close to the bathroom which were stocked with toilet paper and clean!! Before the first night was over, I was saying "next time...". I would camp here again especially during a full moon. Skull rock and heart rock (the only two place I truly visited) were challenging enough hikes for my level and popular destinations for others that were around us. The neighbors were helpful and nice with generosity. I would also recommend driving around the park (with the windows down) and looking at the different scenery. It's other worldly. Water, even in October, is necessary. 13 liters for two days is sufficient, use frozen electrolyte drinks as ice, and bring layers for the night time as it gets quite chilly, bug spray, sun block, and hand sanitizer.

Really unique campground but not a ton of privacy. Great place to meet people and bop around some rocks
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #97
We did not get to stay at Jumbo Rocks due to the shutdown...we ended up staying on some private property on the edge of Joshua Tree instead. Trying to get a refund was NOT easy...think we ended up with a partial refund for 1 stay. Ridiculous...just another indicator of how dysfunctional this nation is right now. So sad...
@LauraC7322672 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #84
great campground. We plan on coming back.

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.

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.
