Great location and perfect view of the rocks!

@EricH5653683 · Camped on Sep 4, 2025 at Campsite #119

Great campground, although some sites are small or close to the road. Site 119 was nicely nestled between the rocks. Just remember to bring along enough water.

@VivianaR1B2C12 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025 at Campsite #15

Very beautiful place. Surprisingly clean spaces and bathrooms. But the coyote sightings at night made it uncomfortable. Great during the day tho.

@SarahM1574964 · Camped on Aug 28, 2025 at Campsite #89

I usually stay at Hidden Valley Campground which is also beautiful but first come first serve. This campsite it BEAUTIFUL. Bathrooms are clean and the roads are paved in case that is a concern. I would absolutely come back

We arrived around 11pm to enjoy the stars in our hammock while our friends camped in their car. The neighboring campers arrived shortly after and had a very large group(at least 8 people with 4 cars) with multiple flood lights placed around to light the area while they cooked and ate. They had no respect for minding their light usage or noise levels. We found a path to take to get away for awhile to somewhere darker and quieter, we got a little lost, but ended up finding our way back following their noise. They didn't quiet down and turn off the lights until after 2am. We slept horribly. While walking to the restroom at night, we realized one of them actually slept in their car while it was still running. When they finally left in the morning they left a cup on the grill that had attracted a swarm of bees.This was by far the worst camping experience all 4 of us in my party have ever had!

The location are so beautiful and excellent ! A wonderful night with a lot of stars

@Alexandra58759 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #3

I was at #3 which was perfect! Near restrooms and entrance but no disturbing noise was at all. Best camping experience Ive had. Site is quite small tho. It didnt bother me cause I slept in my car anyway which I could back up to the site perfectly.

@JuanDDF466F713 · Camped on Aug 16, 2025 at Campsite #94

So far my favorite spot in Joshua Tree, privacy, not too far from bathroom but also not too close perfect size for my group, and a perfect spot for stargazing

@EricB5484998 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #3

I stayed at Jumbo Rocks Campground last weekend and enjoyed the majestic boulder landscape and great stargazing. A thunderstorm in the distance to the east was awesome to watch while counting shooting stars. No cell service was nice, letting me fully unplug and relax. It really is a serene, almost spiritual, desert getaway.

@MarioR65250EEA · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #66

We choose the perfect spot to see the shooting stars in the perfectly dark sky's away from the light pollution of LA. The landscape feels like being on an alien moon, surrounded by the most fascinating large boulders. We look forward to returning in the future. The many clean restrooms throughout the campsite was a huge unexpected bonus.

@RoboDC47F41BA6 · Camped on Aug 12, 2025 at Campsite #96

JTree is now overrun and this camp ground is horrible. I have been going to the park since I was a kid and all the internet kooks have killed the vibe and serenity. Too crowded, too loud..Sad!

@DannielleADE9B · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #116

Love Joshua tree

@VerenaF53041E8 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #85

Just a wonderful campground! The kids loved to climb the rocks and we enjoyed the sundown right there!

@KiraTFB929DE07 · Camped on Aug 8, 2025 at Campsite #89

This was tough to rate. Scenery and geology: 5. Privacy and peacefulness: 2. Insects: 1. Stunning campground but the spaces are close together and there were a lot of big and loud RVs. My site specifically, its gorgeous but Id only recommend it for tent camping as its right on a choke point of the main road. Id also say only choose this one if your group has site 88, too. Lastly the bees. Oof. Im not afraid of bees and no one got stung but they are FOR REAL.

@DavidK6336379 · Camped on Aug 6, 2025 at Campsite #64

Campsite was clean, lots of rocks and trails nearby. There are bees everywhere and very bothersome during the day. No bees at night.

@AnkaM8D9D6D3EB · Camped on Aug 2, 2025 at Campsite #88

Exquisite spot! Wonderful star gazing, great hiking opportunitiers, beautiful rocks, amazing wildlife and plants, calm and cool nicghts in August, clean toilets! We just had quite some bees in the restrooms in the evenings.

@JonathanH88369 · Camped on Jul 29, 2025 at Campsite #77

Great site - some campsites can be a bit exposed, especially in the summer heat, but overall a beautiful environment to enjoy Joshua Tree. A pop up shade can be very helpful.

@AlbertS9518766 · Camped on Jul 28, 2025 at Campsite #51

Excellent camping sites ! Close to Amazing rock formations and other places in the park !

@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Jul 26, 2025 at Campsite #111

Great spot. Some traffic at dusk as it's right off the main road, but loved the privacy and space. Perfect for a Sprinter Van 144.

@JimP5953231 · Camped on Jul 25, 2025 at Campsite #101

For site 101, the comments about no level space is nearly accurate, but for a single person a level spot can be worked out with effort. Site 100 has level areas to spare but it is right on the campground road. Great place to photograph E or W sky. If you find my camera accessories, let me know, lol.

@ZachG7801701 · Camped on Jul 23, 2025 at Campsite #85

What a great location and National Park. Pit toilets were oddly clean and well supplied. Sites are well sized with easy access to trails and nearby boulders. Proximity to the amazing Skull Rock was a highlight.

@UrsLCFEC7FC473 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #23

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

@JesusG3F4A61A8 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #79

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.

@ClaireP4282957 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #116

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.

@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
