Very good spot, not close to the driveway, quiet and has a good privacy

We visited quite a few national parks on our visit- Grand Canyon, Zion and Joshua Tree - and had a wonderful time. Jumbo Rocks was lovely.The toilets were clean, the campsites were week situated. A great experience.Visiting from Australia

First time going camping at Joshua Tree. It was fun. Had an amazing view of the moon rising at night and sunrise. Had an encounter coyotes scavenging our site early in the morning as we just watched from our tent. Overall was a fun experience for the family. Kids loved the campfire

If coming from the West entrance, it is quite a distance from other trails, campgrounds and points of interest. One of a few campgrounds that are reservable in advance. Others like Hidden Valley, which is more centrally located, are first come first serve. Didn't see a Ranger drive by during our two night stay and had some other campers blasting music close to 12 midnight and hikers/climbers using their bright white light headlamps and car headlights to light up the area causing light pollution for stargazing. Also, found some human feces near camp at several locations close to trail. It's a shame that some people don't care and share the responsibility of protecting our environment and national parks for all to enjoy.

Too hot not to have shade structures

We loved Jumbo Rocks! Spacious campground. So cool with the rocks, providing shade and privacy. Would definitely camp here again!

Jumbo Rocks is an excellent campground. The camp sites were well maintained and clean as well as all of the campground. It was nice having easy access to the Discovery Trail, Split Rock, and Skull Rock. The two Ranger programs I attended were excellent: general info about the Park and the Joshua trees and the geology of the Park. The highlight was seeing everything in bloom while hiking the Panorama Loop Trail. Lost Palms Oasis trail was also interesting and a different experience. The Ocotillo and Cholla blooming was another special treat.

Thanks to morning and evening campfires, the campground was very smokey every morning and evening. Sadly, the air quality was probably worse than LA and Bay Area on bad days.

The bathrooms were a little smelly like wafting out from them but even so Josh tree is so beautiful we had the best time! Lovely campgrounds throughout the park!

The campsite was clean and pretty secluded from other campsites.

Beautiful campground, plenty of places to wander and the best star gazing, but bring plenty of water.
