It was overall good but the site was small. We brought Costco 12 people tent barely fitted.Please be careful of wind.The vault toilet was cleaner than I expected.Site 28~32 are so close each other.

I really like this campground, it has always been very clean with restrooms nearby and well maintained. A nice trail that you can take right from the campground to Skull Rock. I recommend Ryan Mountain nearby or Hall of Horrors for some hiking and nice views.

The campground itself is very well maintained. This site is awkwardly placed past another site and small.

We had both a good and bad time at Jumbo Rocks. Firstly, the site is in a great location in the Park. It is central to many Park attractions. The site itself was good, but extremely difficult to find in the dark. Make sure you take a screen shot of your site before your arrival in the area because internet was non-existent for us. We did not know there was no check-in, so that was very confusing on campground entry. The signage on the road guiding us to our site was very confusing. And then we found our designated parking, but our campsite was a bit away from our space and beyond some rocks. My apology to the gent with site #27, who we had to bother to confirm #28 wasn't really next to his. We did find #28 after a search in the dark. The site was nice, but it was difficult to find level ground to set up tents. Being on top of the hill, the site was very windy that night - so make sure everything is staked down. The site provisions (table, fire pit, grill) were excellent. Our night was spent getting battered by the wind. With rain in the forecast and still plenty of wind, we decided we did not feel like getting cold and wet and left our site one night early. In all, it's a beautiful site and I would pick it again - just make sure to arrive with enough light to find our way around better.

The campground is gorgeous and location next to Skull Rock is fantastic. The sites are really crammed in in places, so while some are more private other are not at all. I had #28, which has minimal privacy. The site is also a ways away from the assigned parking spot, which led me to set up camp in a spot closer to the parking spot that actually wasn't mine. Be aware and look for the site number on the picnic table (which isn't always there).

Jumbo Rocks campground was awesome! Takes about 45 min once you’re officially heading onto quail road to get there. Campground was clean and ready when the girlfriend and I showed up. Weather was great during the day but very cold / windy / rainy first night! That’s what made it super fun! You never know what to expect in the desert so be ready for all elements. The only bone I have to pick was the signage used for Skull Rock. It took us about an hour to finally find the entrance to skull rock trail. I think proper signage showing us campers where to go would help. (The signs posted are the most confusing signs I’ve ever seen). Other than that, awesome trip! Come extra prepared for those who are first timers.

Had an amazing time. Only downside is there were a lot of bees at the restrooms, other than that the site was great!

The wind and windchill made our trip a bit of a struggle. I love the part but my site had no level spot for my tent so between the slant and the wind we left after one night of a two night stay.
