Beautiful desert

Beautiful park and camping spot that is perfect for a rooftop tent. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that we were unlucky that a group of students stayed in the spot opposite to us and kept us and other guests up all night with music, loud talking, and incredibly rude behaviour. Wish there were some park rules that would be enforced to keep this beautiful spot nice and quiet during the night.

The whole of Joshua Tree National Park is something out of this world. So beautiful, so amazing, there is no other campsite like Jumbo Rocks. The big boulders throughout the campsite are mesmerizing. Sunsets and sunrise are stunning from Jumbo Rocks. At night , the sky lights up with bright stars. The trails to Scull Rock is beautiful and as are many other hiking trails nearby. There is no water or electricity in the camp and the toilets are vault toilets but very clean. One ought to experience Joshua Tree and Jumbo rocks at least once in their lifetime.

Beautiful place, next to big rock formations. Very quiet night. We went for the Split Rock Trail in the afternoon. I loved waking up here:)

Jumbo Rocks is close to, well, everything. And it's beautiful! Clean campsites, clean restrooms, and beautiful sunsets.

Its amazing to camp among these beautiful jumbo rocks! There are hikes accessible right from the campground. Most of the sites can only accommodate tents or smaller RVs.

Was just a bit too hot for us .we got there in the eve , setup , enjoyed the stars . Had a great hike early in the morning before it got hot but We had to leave after 1 day . The mid day temps were 105 which was too hot for us . We’ll come back when it’s cooler .
