Bathrooms were clean, and super easy parking. This sight is a little on top of one another and at a slight incline but easy to adjust to make everything comfortable.

One of my new favorite campgrounds! Beautiful and the campsites didnt feel like they were on top each other.

Stayed at site #48. Bathroom was clean. We would have preferred more privacy but site availability was limited. There were better sites but the surrounding landscape was still beautiful. Jumbo is the busiest campground so there is a lot of noise from proximity of neighbors and RVs but it was quiet at night. I would stay at Jumbo again. Roads and campground were clean.

Sites are on top of each other, without dedicated parking areas.

There were people at my campsite that I had reserved months in advance. I was very disappointed, I was robbed of the experience and there was no one to reach out to to kick them out.

Jumbo Rocks is located in a great area of the park for hiking some of the quieter hikes. The campground including the bathrooms were clean. There was an evening presentation at the amphitheater that included a telescope! The night sky is amazing! Sunrises and sunsets were stunning. Highly recommend Jumbo Rocks

This is an awesome camping place. The restrooms have inprovd since we were last in California. So many people stopped by and asked how did we get our reservations as they wanted to stay. The campground was full all of our stay. The lady who checked us in was awesome.

The campground was beautiful and clean. Went to the ranger talk; it's one of my favorite things that the parks system provides. The ranger talk was incredible!Overall amazing experience to be in Joshua Tree.

Bees were absolutely everywhere when we stayed the last weekend of June. We tried to move campsites, but it was still just terrible. Terrifying to use the restrooms and woken up at sunrise with the buzzing all around our tent. I'm all for saving the bees...but I don't choose to live with them!

Some campgrounds are too close to the bathroom which is pretty stinky when you are trying to sleep. Overall loved this campground and the jumbo rocks, site was clean and the fire pit was god send. Cannot wait to camp here again.

Awesome campground, great central location, definitely the best campsite that you can reserve for being in the central part of the park

We arrived to 12-14" of snow in late December and had the most amazing experience. Many thanks to the campground staff for their friendly, tireless efforts. This land belongs to all of us. Be gentle and stay on trails.
