We spent a single night tent camping, and was our first visit to the Park. The campsite was quiet and pleasant, and is in a central location for traveling to various locations within Joshua Tree.

We had a great time. Staff friendly, facilities clean. Jumbo rocks is such a beautiful and unique landscape. Buy extra long stakes, the wind was crazy at night and several in our group lost their canopies.

Jumbo Rocks is an excellent place to camp in Joshua Tree NP due to it's central location. Last year we camped at Indian Cove, which was very cool but necessitated a lot of driving. For a family with an elementary school-aged child, there was endless exploring. Star gazing at night is spectacular.There is zero cell service in most of the park, but we were able to send texts via T-Mobile statelite messaging. No potable water, so bring a bunch. The sites are mostly very small. Much smaller than other parks but neccesitated by the terrain. Fellow campers were very good about quiet hours, no late partying, etc. despite it being a Spring Break week.The most dissapointing thing was that that capmground was 100% booked for the week, however, there were MANY noshow sites. Nice to not be so croweded if you are staying there, but disappointing if you are trying to book a campsite. People should be better and cancel the sites they are not going to use. Be better, people.

The Joshua Trees and jumbo Rocks are the best views of the campground. So many animals visited the site. A night program introduced the sounds of animals in the park. What a Wonderful experience!

Very interesting trip! My first time camping at a national park and my first time camping off a adventure motorcycle. Fun trip with lots to explore. I did all the hikes out of the campground in the 24 hours I was there. I had spot #17 and I was good for my needs but there are other spots that are more interesting. No cell service or water available but there are fire pits and BBQ's that require wood or charcoal. There were pits toilets that were clean and stocked with toilet paper. The stars were amazing! Highly recommended !

This is my first time camping in a park like this. The children had a great time climbing and descending the big boulders all day long. It was very hot during the day, but I brought a large sunflock and was able to cool off in it.

It was pretty and it was cold at night. A fire is nice to have. There’s a lot of people. Good number of bathrooms. People need to pick up trash :(

A fantastic campground. Had a blast scrambling around & exploring. Clean campsite. Clean restrooms, always a bonus! Nice neighbors, not too loud for once. Would definitely stay here again.

Great family campground for kids. Tons of rocks to climb and a great trail to skull rock. Spent only one night and would have preferred another.

Joshua Tree and Jumbo Rocks are amazing. You can't go wrong and we keep coming back! This time, we enjoyed the Split Rock trail and the 49 Palm Oasis trail. The only downsides this visit (February, 2021) were due to COVID. We reserved our favorite spot 6 months in advance and it was cancelled when the park shut down due to COVID (understandable), but then when the park reopened, they just gave our spot to someone else, so we had to make a new reservation in a campsite that was too close to other campers (during COVID). I would expect that the organization would only fill every other campsite during pandemic to create more space. Other than that, our stay was fabulous as usual!
