Well maintained campsite in the middle of Joshua Tree.

Wonderful location. Everyone was so friendly and helpful at the entrances and visitors centers.

@CierraW63C240A · Camped on Mar 5, 2026 at Campsite #108

Bathrooms were clean, park employees were very nice, and everything went smoothy. Thank you for the experience, and keep up the good work!Barker Dam is always the busiest hike, I would recommend trying the other hikes that are not as popular for a quieter experience.

It was a great spot. The bathrooms where kept clean and plenty of T.P. I will definitely be going back soon.

@TomC6900040 · Camped on Mar 3, 2026 at Campsite #12

Go at the right time of the year and the weather is perfect. Hiked a little over 17 miles in 3 days. Lost Horse loop trail was my favorite. Campsite we had in Jumbo Rocks was private and quiet. Toilets (vault) were kept clean. The views and geology were spectacular. Will return.

@JaniceB6840397 · Camped on Mar 2, 2026 at Campsite #95

We always enjoy camping in Joshua Tree especially at Jumbo Rocks. Nice hiking from the campground and excellent sunsets.

@LaurieD358E433 · Camped on Mar 2, 2026 at Campsite #118

The Jumbo Rocks campground has many lovely sites - but ours was sloping and almost too small to fit our car and tent. There are great hikes right out the tent door and the ranger program was very well done.

@JosephH9424970 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #119

Site 119 is nestled between rocks and helped protect us against wind gusts. It also offered us a little bit of privacy. Space was enough for 3 large tents but has a slight grade. Downside is theres only room for 1 vehicle. Pit toilets only. No water or showers. We brought our own. Bring lots if you can!The loop 119 is in is very quiet. Other campers were very considerate of quiet time. Its also very close to the pit toilet.We were there for the total lunar eclipse producing a red hue on the moon. It was nicknamed The Worm blood moon. March 3, between 3am to 5am. We really enjoyed this campground and plan to come back at some point!

@JeffM1730911 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #1

Great place with jumbo rocks all the way around and in the campsite. Sites 1 and 2 are very tight for a camp trailer. Fairly close to the road and campground entrance. Traffic died down after 10 people were respectful for the most part. Not all that level but it worked.

@PatriciaB22981 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #2

There was no camphost, no checkin. Kids climbing on rocks in our campsite.

@SydneySF7F3BD8 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #5

This campsite is awesome! There's a big rock face you can walk right up, and it feels secluded from the parking lot and surrounding campsites.

@JordanM8638899 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #54

The first night of our trip there was a very loud group past the quiet time playing loud music until well after midnight. We were very disappointed that a camp host or ranger did not drive around at dusk to remind everyone of curfew and to check reservations. I have been coming here for 15 years and this was the first time that didn't happen. The second night was worse because a group behind the restrooms were not only playing music past curfew, but also singing and being obnoxious until 3am. Again no ranger or host came by during the day/evening to remind visitors of basic common courtesy. Hosts did not come by until the morning to give them warnings. I imagine the park is victim to budget cuts and inefficient funding, which is a tragedy itself. I hope camp hosts will do a better job of monitoring sites and it's patrons. It's such a beautiful place to be a victim of such behavior.

@BeverlyM4CF93B · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #83

The 6 pm nightly ranger talk was fantastic both evenings we attended. I highly recommend it.

@LeonEAA3A4B87C · Camped on Feb 28, 2026 at Campsite #82

This is a very beautiful campground. It is surrounded by jumbo rocks, hence the name.

@SandiD24A84AD0 · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #73

Many excellent campsites were reserved but not occupied. If NPS insists on requiring online reservations, there needs to be some penalty for no-shows. Its so easy for people to reserve sites and then decide not to come. The fees are no deterrent at all. One solution is to have a chunk of sites designated first-come, first served. Or levy significant fines for those who book sites then dont show up.

@ShelleyS408946 · Camped on Feb 26, 2026 at Campsite #10

What a cool place to stay!! Love being among the rocks. Pretty tight campsites but still really lovely

@RaymondH686158 · Camped on Feb 26, 2026 at Campsite #15

Quiet and secluded. It was just as expected.

@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Feb 25, 2026 at Campsite #60

Well thought out sites.

@ChristophF854E · Camped on Feb 25, 2026 at Campsite #16

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
