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!

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

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.

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!
@BrianF9020222 · Camped on Dec 1, 2025 at Campsite #3
I was here in site 3 during December, this site is in shade all afternoon at that time of year, making it chilly.. It is a nice private site but It is adjacent to several walk-in sites and there were 2 late night loud groups in those sites, like 3AM late one night
@CindyE5382771 · Camped on Nov 30, 2025 at Campsite #2
A new kind of geology for me. The rocks looked like pillows. I should have reviewed the campsites better. Number 2 was in the shade the whole time I was there.
@BrentS514C29A2 · Camped on Nov 30, 2025 at Campsite #6
Jumbo Rocks is close to scull Rock and an easy hike for almost everyone. There are several hikes right out from the campsite.
@KarenD6822172 · Camped on Nov 30, 2025 at Campsite #5
Stunning campsite amid the boulders with soft gravel footing and ample space for a 2- or 4-person tent. Short walk to site from parking lot. Very close to sites #4 & #6, recommend the three sites for a group of friends or family. Easy access to Skull Rock nature trail. Convenient to 29 Palms. Will be back!
@MadisonW817980 · Camped on Nov 29, 2025 at Campsite #116
The sites here are very close together. This site had room for 2 4 person tents, so that was nice. They were fairly level, but not perfectly level. 2 other sites are in very close proximity. This site is far enough away to not smell the bathrooms or dumpsters, so that was great.
@RobertA1820332 · Camped on Nov 29, 2025 at Campsite #74
Site 74 had a beautiful view and was near the end of all the sites. On the other hand, it was sort of attached with an other campsite. It was by the camp host(good or bad) and it was on a gnarly slope.
@HugoG87B1383BD · Camped on Nov 28, 2025 at Campsite #120
Great campground to stay. Great location with beautiful views. Very convenient for hiking trails. Definitely, I would stay there again. I wish there were a shower. Overall 5 stars.
@KatiaL4BCB1D43 · Camped on Nov 28, 2025 at Campsite #4
So far my favorite campsite in Joshua tree
@RachelD2123141 · Camped on Nov 27, 2025 at Campsite #21
Great campground nestled in the rocks. A little close to adjacent site but this one is tucked back with privacy. Great place to watch sunset and stars.
@jasonl2729902 · Camped on Nov 27, 2025 at Campsite #58
Rocks are huge surround every campsite. Best one out of the lot
@MandyTB2EEF0F9 · Camped on Nov 27, 2025 at Campsite #115
very good
@ThomasN5861088 · Camped on Nov 26, 2025 at Campsite #55
I stayed at campsite 55.Jumbo Rocks is a great campground for families! As the name implies, there are plenty of large rock formations for kids to climb around on; they are basically a built in playground. That alone made this campground a stand out experience.The campsites are pretty close to each other, with only bushes between sites. We were lucky in that our neighboring campsite was empty, so it felt private.Campsite 55 is near the end of the road around Jumbo Rocks, so there was little to no road noise. It is a bit of a walk to the toilets, but for me that was a benefit. There is a dumpster for trash close by but not close enough to be heard opening or closing.There is no running water or cell service at this campground, so plan accordingly.Noise at night was not an issue with sleep. Neighbors settled down early. There is a surprising amount of jet noise, but it wasnt too loud, and (of course, this is the great outdoors), some animal noise at night as well.I highly recommend this campsite and campground!

Perfect spot for 30 ft RvFire ring close to roadSun for half the dayLot of boulders behind site to climb
@AndrewKC5CF416 · Camped on Nov 25, 2025 at Campsite #78
Great spot for 30ft Rv but wouldnt go any bigger Table and fire ring far from parking spot with brush blocking roadGood privacy from roadSun all day in winter
@EmreU620378468 · Camped on Nov 25, 2025 at Campsite #11
Great site. We camped with a short square drop trailer (16ft) without any issues.
@LeiaG1AB0A6F64 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #36
The bathrooms were never cleaned for our entire trip Monday through Friday. One day someone came and picked up the toilet paper off the floor but no one cleaned the toilet seat despite having a rig with water and a pump to the clean the bathrooms on their truck. In fact they put about 15 rolls of toilet paper and didnt return for the entire 4 days. And there was often a line at the pit toilet morning and evening, people waiting to use it so it got lots of use. Parking was slim and people were waiting for parking spaces as they were hard to come by. A shuttle to get around would have been nice to prevent cars driving around looking for parking and people parking from far away and walking on the roads. I would have liked to see more signs to encourage people to stay on the trails. The desert crust is a fragile ecosystem and I saw people taking a short cut when there was a clearly marked trail. I even told them the main trail would lead them the same way in the fork ahead but they said yeah and ignored me and kept walking. More interpretive rangers would have been nice and more signage. I really wish that commercial or park pay showers were available at the edge of the park. It would have been really nice to take a shower. One of our friends in a nearby site didnt realize there was no water in the area. Overall a beautiful and special place that I will return to.

Great spot for 30ft RvShade in the middle of the dayRight next to entrance of campground so everyone passes by to go in.
@ErinS5754026 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #101
Nice campground with great access to trails for a sunrise or sunset hike. The other sites had some more fun jumbo rocks, but overall, 101 was a great site that was set back from the road and had clean bathrooms
@RichardE734484 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #30
Best campsite in America. Beautiful and unique location. Perfect for kids to explore. Services are basically zero, so bring everything you need - especially water.

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.
