No water at Campgrounds but knowing that going in it's an amazing site. Right next to some rocks that you can climb with a nice little tree to shade during the day. Most sites are great but this was one of the best ones.

We stayed at Jombo Rock campsite, as always it was delightful. We experienced the rain so it was a bit more work, but overall it didn't make a dent in our trip. The campsite was quiet and very enjoyable.

Stayed in campsite #12 at Jumbo Rocks, which was very spacious especially compared to some of the other sites we saw. There's a trail nearby that goes directly to Skull Rock, lots of boulders to feel adventurous walking around on, and a nice view of the sky at night. One side of the horizon didn't feel like it ever got completely dark, probably lights from 29 Palms, but overall nice views. Campsite had a picnic table conveniently next to the fire pit, and was close to the bathroom which you could smell occasionally and would probably smell a lot worse during summer. Bathroom was very clean though.

Scenic, lots to explore just around the campground

I love camping in Joshua Tree, and Jumbo Rocks is one of the best campgrounds in my opinion. There are quite a few campsites that offer quite a bit of privacy if you take the time to look at the surrounding area (I use Google Earth to get really good views). If you're into rock climbing, early October is starting to cool down a bit, and just before the winter climbing season starts.

Great middle campground to explore from. Also enjoyed the ranger talk last nite at amphitheater. Really love jumbo rocks

The light on the rocks in the morning is beautiful! It is centrally located in the park which is excellent. Clean and had a grill which was nice.
