Second time staying in site 69. Perfect little spot by the rocks to set up your kitchen area. Nice spot between trees and bushes to set up your tent.

This was a great site a bit more secluded then the other ones which was nice!

The campsite was beautiful, its split in the back between 68/69 and is a shared space. The bathroom is around the corner, but not right in the campsite which was fantastic. Perfect for a night in Joshua Tree!

The campsite was beautiful, its split in the back between 68/69 and is a shared space. Unlike other national parks we visited this summer, there wasn't demarcation between the adjoining campground. Our neighbors were courteous, but it would be nice if the camping space was marked per space. We had our own amenities, but the tent space isn't divided. The bathroom is around the corner, but not right in the campsite which was fantastic. Perfect for a night in Joshua Tree!

Sites #68 and #69 great if youre a group. If not, As others have mentioned sites are pretty closely set. We were nervous but excited to hear coyotes yelp and howl at night, and even spotted one by our site in the day. Great location next to skull rock trail and also backed away from the street so not as crowded and as many visitors walking through the area. Site #69 is set against some boulders where we set up some camp chairs to view the pristine night sky. During the day youd definitely benefit from a shade tent as there is little natural shade. Wouldnt hesitate to camp here again!

Fantastic campground. Easy hike to skull rock, as well as a few other nice and easy loops in the central area of the park. No water at the campground, so be sure to pack enough to cover your trip. Also worth noting that the rocks surrounding many of the campsites do obscure the sunset - so if you're camping in the winter season, it will get colder earlier in the evening than it would at a site like cottonwood. But well worth it for the beautiful rock structures!

Lots of great exploring, although some sites are a bit tight.

Very cool campsite, set amongst giant boulders. The spots are pretty tightly packed, so don't expect a lot of privacy. There's a public toilet, but no water or other facilities. But it's a magical spot, especially on a clear night. Had a great time.
@CraigB4500034 · Camped on Nov 16, 2022 at Campsite #68
As others have stated the sites are tight to each other which isnt ideal and our camp spot wasnt level for our tent which made for an uncomfortable sleep. However the beauty of this campground and the area to explore is amazing. We will hopefully be back someday when we retire.

Very scenic

The campground is well located. The campsite was really nice and calm
@AmberP01392320 · Camped on May 30, 2022 at Campsite #68
Lots of cool climbing spots and unobstructed views of the stars. Definitely one of the coolest camping spots.

The first night we camped was great. Beautiful stars, great weather, and very peaceful. The second night there was a group of campers started partying around 10pm and continued playing loud music and screaming until 3am. My husband tried to ask them nicely to turn down the music but they became confrontational. There were no rangers anywhere so the campers in our area just laid awake, hoping they would go to bed. It would have been nice if Jumbo Rocks had a ranger to help handle the situation. Unfortunately we left the next day very frustrated and tired.

The site was beautiful and relatively secluded in the campground along some of the jumbo rocks. We stayed for three days, mid-week in January and got to enjoy warm days and chilly nights under a clear night sky. The site was also against the open desert which we got to wander in easily.

Not the cleanest pit toilets but a great campground.
@ScotT587 · Camped on Oct 18, 2021 at Campsite #68
People playing loud music from 10pm until 3 a spoiled a perfect trip.
@AdamB316 · Camped on May 14, 2021 at Campsite #68
Dry park, not just a dry camp. Be prepared. Sites are REALLY close together, expect to get to know your neighbors. People loud after 2200, no ranger making the rounds. 1 camp site close by still in party mode at 0100. Great NP, amazing things to see and do.
@CarolineN883 · Camped on Apr 14, 2021 at Campsite #68
Such a cool campground nestled in the rocks. The sites are close together so don't expect too much privacy. A great central location in the park and not too far from anything.

Cell reception nearly nonexistent. Do your homework and plan hikes ahead of time.

Jumbo Rocks Campground is always a beautiful go-to camping spot for us. It is clean, great climbing, and easy access.

very cool campground, other guests had occupied our site but there where other lots free - we just took a different one and it was great
