Very good.

If possible, don't select the first sites since they are too close to the entrance and garbage containers, which means more disturbance. Don't worry about vault toilets, they are conveniently placed all over the campground. The end of the Jumbo Rocks campground offer the best landscape, IMO. It's very well located and fairly close to most relevant spots in Joshua Tree NP.

We'd seen Cholla cactus before, but nothing to compare with the intensity of the "Cholla Gardens" at Joshua Tree. And, of course, the Joshua trees, themselves, are so diverse and "complicated" . . . interesting and beautiful. The rock formations are also very unusual compared with virtually any other National Park or location to which we've traveled. From the Jumbo Rocks campground, we highly recommend the full Skull Rock Loop hike is very worthwhile while not being overbearing for our advanced senior status.

I have camped a lot over the years and have been to many camp areas. This is one of the most interesting, scenic, and unique boulder campgrounds I have ever camped at. There are various campsites; some are cozied up into the boulders, others are more open and set up for group camping, or close to your neighbors. Some are more private than others. The most unique sites fill up quickly. There is no T-Mobile service in the camp area. I chose to go to Recreation.gov and write down all of the available sites, then go to the campsites and pick the one I liked most; then, I drove a few miles to the east past Skull Rock to get service to reserve my spot on Recreation.gov.

I loved everything about Jumbo Rocks, it's a special place.

I had planned one night at this campground and ended up staying 2 nights. Looks like another camper canceled a night allowing me to pay for the additional stay. The campsite has to be one of the best ones. The view is amazing. The restrooms are at every corner and clean.
