Its a 25 minute distance from entrance which can result of a lot of driving if you forget or need anything.

Campground was nice and the place is unreal. Dont expect it to be quiet.Lots of bad driving motor home arrivals from LA and the generators run way past the posted hours with little to no Rangers in sight

Excellent location with a good privacy

Love this campsite, very spacious and private

Great Campground, even with people at the sites next to us we had a lot of room and privacy. Really cool area in the middle of the national park to climb on some rocks and look at the great views. Our dog loved the room to run around, not too much wildlife around since it's a crowded campground.

Amazing campground, beautiful views, clean restroom.

Jumbo Rocks was so much fun! We were at site 45. It was right next to some jumbo rocks that the kids could climb. The site was sort of in a bowl, which might have helped against the wind slightly.

Nice Campground with good separation between sites. Beautiful views!

Pit toilet need to clean more

Only 3 stars because the bathrooms and campsites here get more trashed than I've seen at any other park. Otherwise, great campground in the middle of an awesome field of boulders - jumbo rocks! And it's Joshua Tree, so expect neighbors at the campsites around you, expect them to be a little louder/more party mode here, accept that and you'll enjoy yourself.

Really quite even though we had neighbors. The campsite was clean and had a good time over all
@DanielaC389 · Camped on Nov 7, 2021 at Campsite #45
Great, beautiful place. Very clean and clear directions all the way through. 100% recommend, but keep in mind it gets super cold at night.
@MelissaB951 · Camped on May 20, 2021 at Campsite #45
Campsite 45 is the best! Easily fit three tents. You'll have jumbo rocks at the back of your campsite where you can climb and have a great view and enjoy sunrise and sunset. Less than a minute walk to vault toilets on either side. BBQ fit as well as campfire pit. If I return, i'm going to try and stay here again!

Great site! A little sandy, so make sure to pick a good hard packed spot to pitch your tent.
@MatthewB401 · Camped on Apr 22, 2021 at Campsite #45
Beautiful spot, Rangers were great. We got lucky with the weather, it was perfect too. Fantastic J-Tree experience!

Staff was super friendly, trails were well maintained, most of the bathrooms were clean, access in and out went quickly and smoothly due to a great staff working the west gate.
Picturesque and full of beautiful wildlife and plant life.
My bad experiences were not the fault of the Park.
a) the windchill made the night unbearable. so cold i could not feel any warmth from the campfire.
b) the #45 site did not have enough rocks to block the high winds.
c) most of the ground was hard and gravelly and not conducive to sleeping on the ground of a tent without the use of an air mattress. a simple ground pad was not enough.
I will definitely travel here in October and November next time which I find to be better months weatherwise.
