short walk from the car, felt very private, lots of choices for where to set up camp. Absolutely incredible

Beautiful well maintained park! Very special place. Thank you to all the rangers and staff that care for Joshua Tree.

Jumbo rocks was a GREAT place to stay. Nearby trails were interesting with a lot of appropriate signage discussing the local flora and fauna. They were not challenging, but not everyone looks for a desert challenge. No water at the campsite, but we knew this well in advance and it was not a problem as we just brought our own water with us. The stars at night were totally WOW!!!

Fantastic large site set back from road. Very private if no neighbor in space 38. We saw a coyote early in the morning at the campground.

We had such a great time camping here over MLK weekend. The park is so beautiful, it felt surreal at times. It's a bit cold for tent camping in January but if you come prepared, you'll be just fine. Bathrooms were clean. And there were great ranger presentations at the amphitheater, veery interesting and informative! We will definitely be back!

Absolutely love it here! It is so quiet and peaceful. Mornings and evenings are my favorite. It’s as if the world stands still. So much wildlife to see in the early morning hours and sitting on the rocks watching the sunrise or sunset is idyllic. The starts here are unreal as well. Liked that they have recycling too, even the propane tanks. Have to go to visitor center everyday to fill up on water but we had a 5 gallon jug so it was fine. Vault toilets were clean and stunk free.

Great campsite centrally located with easy access to climbing and hiking. Lovely hike to Scull Rock from the campsite. Great base for all who love the outdoors.

I’ve loved staying at Jumbo Rocks for several years now and no matter how many times I stay there, each camp site provides a different experience. Can’t wait to come back soon!
