Campsite had plenty of room to spread out. Bathrooms and other facilities were immaculate. Perfect spot.

Loved the rocks around the campground.

Love Jumbo Rocks campground, such a beautiful place. Lots of hiking in the area and the campground is well looked after by the campground hosts. Bathrooms were nice and clean and no garbage to be found. Jumbo Rocks will always be a favorite place to camp. Also relatively close to TwentyNine Palms, disappointed the Campbell Hill bakery was closed during the week we were there.

A great campsite and love the park. The only reason I gave it a 4 and bit a 5 is that there are no bike lanes within the park. I wasnt able to enjoy the trails as they were too far to walk and I almost got run off the road on my bike so I wasnt able to go to places I would have gone. Shame on this park for not being bicycle friendly also, many other parks run shuttles to places of interest. Its disappointing that Joshua Tree NP doesnt have shuttles or bike lanes.

The best campsites are 80,81, 87 and 90. I picked these sites for size and privacy. Most of the campsites are small and close together. This campground is very hilly, which makes it real hard to level an RV or ride bikes and walk. The closest market is about 30 miles round trip. So, plan ahead. Bring firewood, water, ice (block ice last longer or electric ice chest), a 'Jackery' for electrical emergencies and some canopies (there's no shade from the heat). There is no phone service or camp host to call out for problems. This campground is for young and athletic. If you're older or have a dog there is little to do other than look at the rocks, which grows old, fast. After camping here, I'd much rather camp at Doheny, San Elijo, Leo Carrillo, Refugio, Big Sur or Yosemite. The check-in was a joke. There's no one to check you in. So there's no way to verify the reservations. I was never asked to prove if I had a valid reservation. This is also the first time I didn't get a window sticker. There was no campground host when I was there in mid-October (high season). There is nothing to stop someone from camping in your site! I see these issues to be a huge problem. I should have added, this campground is not handicap friendly at all. No level access to the campsites or pit toilets that I saw. No phone service or camp host for emergencies. This campground has so many problems, if it wasn't for the boulders, there would be no reason to camp here. As a note: If you're thinking of being a Camp Host, the site is a terrible site and is not level and also there is no water, electricity, sewer or phone service. Maybe that's why there was no Host in Mid-October? I camped for 2 nights (I had 4 nights and I left early). I camp over 20 times a year. These are my opinions and observations. After reading the comments about someone in their site or dealing with loud and rowdy neighbors, I'm not surprise because there's no one to stop them. So, be warned!

Great location! Can't miss out sleeping among the Joshua Trees and stars. Pit toilets are not bad. Campsites are small in general and this one was a little larger and up against the rocks.
@AlexR269 · Camped on Jan 6, 2022 at Campsite #80
Clean bathrooms, people respectfully quiet.

Beautiful place to visit.

Beautiful setting, well managed campground - we will return
@BradleyW773 · Camped on May 11, 2021 at Campsite #80
Jumbo Rocks is “bare bones”... just a parking spot with a table and fire ring... but what an amazing parking spot, table and fire ring! We were on the main road in and out but the traffic (human and vehicular) was minimal and not an issue. To be nestled in among the rocks (did I mention that there are literally “jumbo rocks” at this campground? It’s not just marketing BS from the NPS) was a great way to feel part of JTNP.
@DouglasB878 · Camped on Mar 26, 2021 at Campsite #80
Great camping experience! Vault toilets were kept clean and well stocked. Camp hosts were wonderful!
@MichaelB372 · Camped on Mar 22, 2021 at Campsite #80
Fantastic camp experience for children and novice campers. A great introduction to the desert experience and a wonderland of landscape. Caution of high winds and extreme temperatures. Not recommended for summer camping.

Really cool campground with toilets. Campsites can get a bit too close but definitely check a map before booking
