Amazing campsite! Jumbo rocks all around!The only downside is no water which translates to pit toilets. Everything else is spectacular.

The campsites are situated between rocks and space that gives a sense of privacy. The bathrooms are very clean. The trails are marked and beautiful.

We stayed at site 26 and it was fantastic! Totally private on either side, huge jumbo rock that provides shade in the afternoon. Bathroom is just steps away, and my kids loved playing on all the rocks behind the site. Space for a small or medium tent. Probably one of the most unique campgrounds ever! If you are looking for a great site with privacy pick #26!!

Very nice campsite which would easily accomodate 3 tents in a nice setting with many rock formations. Close to the bathroom which was kept clean & well-stocked with toilet paper. Only wish it had a canopy over the table to block the sun.

Jumbo Rocks campground is a great place to stay & experience Joshua Tree National Park. It has easy access to the 29 Palms entrance. There is no water , so come prepared :-).

Such a beautiful campground and area, you really can't go wrong. There are MANY amazing campsites at Jumbo Rocks. So many places to explore around the campgrounds. And the way the landscape runs throughout, you feel like you're in your own little world, away from others (depending on which site you choose). You also have trail access to Skull Rock and can follow the whole loop around. I highly recommend doing it at sunset. There are also plenty of pit toilets and garbage bins around. I'll be back!

Spectacular place to stay, sites are beautiful, clean and restrooms are close by. Stay here! Its worth it!
@ArbenzAD20D072 · Camped on Jan 12, 2025 at Campsite #26
Great views. Campsite was isolated with rocks / hills on the side. Which made it so much better. Skull rock trail is less than a mile away. Super convenient.

The campground was beautiful, with a large variety of spaces for different kinds of camping. We saw lots of quail and even a few coyotes in the middle of the day when most people had left the campground. Site #26 had a nice table and fire ring, but the parking area was very uneven and narrow. It was not a good spot for camping in a van/RV.

Always a beautiful camping experience here at Jumbo Rocks. This trip had some guy decide to sleep outside on the rock above my campsite, even though he had rocks by his own site. Thought it was weird but whatever dude. He didnt make it the whole night, it got down to the 30s and he was gone by 11 pm LOL.

Peaceful camping spot within a fifteen second walk to the toilet without sight of it nor of the campers in nearby sites. Quiet, beautiful camping in a spotless campground surrounded by gorgeous boulders and wildlife.

Beautiful park with amazing scenery
@MatthiasS64E91 · Camped on Oct 15, 2023 at Campsite #26
I loved staying there with the family (2 kids / 3yo). We parked on the RV site next to the road. Had no issues with our 30ft RV with slide-outs left and right (as long as you park close to the rocks). The scenery was certainly the best we had during our 2 weeks trip. The site provides a grill and a fire ring. Me and the kids loved climbing the rocks right next to the site. Definitely would love to come back.

Arrived campsite at midnight but someone occupied my spot.I report Ranger in the morning.

We had the greatest time at this campground. It was in the perfect location with the most amazing natural landscapes. We were so lucky to have gotten this spot, the kids and us had a wonderful time. We hope to return soon!
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on May 14, 2023 at Campsite #26
Jumbo Rocks is a great place to go...at least once to experience it and the surrounding area.
Everything went as planned except the site was far from level! It would be good if Recreation.gov would indicate if the sites were level. Some campers don't need level but we have a cab-over camper so if the truck isn't level, the camper isn't level... had it use all of our leveling blocks (30) and redo them every time we left site seeing...

The campground in general is very well maintained. I was a little disappointed with the lack of space to get my truck off of the road. I have the back of my truck set up to sleep in the bed with the tailgate down. Having cars drive right by with headlights on shining into my face did not appeal to me so I slept on the picnic table. If the rocks were moved back just a little to allow a vehicle to angle back a bit into the site, it would solve this issue.It is an amazing place and plan on returning soon.

@BenjaminT81538 · Camped on Jul 15, 2022 at Campsite #26
this is one of the best campgrounds i have ever been in. not because of the amenities -there are few- but because of where you are. it is stunning. beautiful. and in july- hot.
