The location here is amazing. Beautiful sunset! The rocks are super fun. Note that there is one long street that winds through the campground, and some loops off the main. The best sites are on the loops off the main street.Don't forget to bring your own water as well! The nearest water is quite far from the campground.

We love jumbo rocks Campground. Lots to do for kids. Sites are pretty small. Site 73 was only suited for 1 tent. Great site for an RV or trailer.

Stayed here for one night in early August and boy was it hot. The wind was strong during the day but was gone by night. One coyote passed by our camp but was harmless and ran away after being spotted. Stargazing was great and we had no neighbors in the cul de sac. Bathrooms were nearby, easily accessible, and clean.

Beautiful and unique campsite, several having just enough privacy and plenty of places to explore from the campground

Beautiful backdrop at most campsites. The campground road was built very close to them, which means you can often hear cars driving around but it’s fine. Vault toilet shacks were kept very clean, at least during our stay. Highly recommend the picturesque little trail from the grounds to Split Rock.

Great spot

Great place to camp and experience the desert.

Grill and firepit made it great. Only drawback is that the ground was not level. Slight incline where to setup tent.

My friends and I stayed here overnight to watch the 2021 Perseid meteor shower. It's best to go during a new moon, so the sky stays dark. We were fortunate and saw several multi-second streamers whose tails kept glowing for a second or two afterwards. The campsite was too hot during the day (95 degrees) but quite pleasant at night (high 60s).

My wife and I had a blast. It was her first time camping in the National Parks and our first time using an entirely new set of gear (clothing, tent, kitchenware, everything). Had an epic windstorm with lots of snow on the first night but it cleared up for the rest of the trip! Would definitely recommend hiking up Ryan Mountain as the view won’t disappoint. We’ll be coming back soon.
