Easy to find the campsite after arriving late and in the dark. We had to park parallel to the site, we could not pull the car in. Facilities were well maintained, trails well marked.

We loved our stay at Jumbo Rocks! Beautiful scenery, amazing stargazing, and beautiful landscapes to explore.

Always great to go to JT and any national park for that matter. Site 87 was solid for our 4 man tent. Could have fit another. Site 86 would be better for a larger group but still a great location. Ranger interaction was minimal but pleasant. Clean restrooms and plenty of them. Love jumbo rocks campground.

It's a crowded site, but that was not unexpected. The scenery is majestic, and camping ethics were generally respectful, except for the hyper guy wearing a triple headlight next door who looked our way every 30 seconds for hours. I'd have thought it was an incoming train if I didn't know better. That's the only blot on a magical night set for stargazing by a simmering campfire. The local coyote chorus was pure music until well after dusk.
Excellent

Great location, several trails close by nested in the Jumbo rocks, and a short walk to Skull Rock. Campground has amble vault toilets and seems most all campsite have a concrete table, fire ring and grill.

Wonderful stay at Jumbo Rocks Campground. Friendly staff and fellow campers. Owls, coyotes and small furry friends. Really fun hiking and sightseeing. Well be back :)

Jumbo Rocks is a beautiful area of Joshua tree National park. There are some nice trails and plenty of Jumbo Rocks to climb, with plenty of photo opportunities. The only thing I have issue with is that the park was nearly sold out when I made the reservation, but actually only had about 10 campsites occupied the whole time I was there. There are over 100 campsites! I would have chosen a different one instead of I had the opportunity. Do be aware that you check into the campsite at the gate to the park, not at the campground itself. Joshua tree National Park is the size of Rhode Island. No services!

We love Jumbo Rocks campground - it's such a fun place to be and the kids love exploring. The site is always clean, rangers/volunteers helpful, and fellow campers friendly. This was our 4th trip and we can't wait to go back!

While in a beautiful setting, there is no water and campsites have limited privacy for parking your van.
@UweA293F84AC43 · Camped on Aug 2, 2023 at Campsite #86
Very very nice, fantastic and beautiful. Look the stars at night and everytime the animals. The rocks are breathtaking. The campground have everthing you need. Table, barbecue, toilets, trash.

Beautiful setting. Sites were close but still gave you some privacy. Bathrooms were very clean.

Beautiful basic campgrounds, well managed. First time we dry camped our 32 class A MH in the park. We could not extend the port slide out due to the parking (campground) arrangement. However, our stay was very enjoyable in this beautiful area!

Beautiful location and clean campsites. Would recommend park revise generator hours to be all day vs on/off certain times. Too hot for not allowing generator use, especially for RVers with pets.

This was my third time staying in jumbo rocks campground. It's like you're camping in a big jungle gym with rocks all over to climb on and entertain yourself. It's great to climb up on them and watch the sunrise or sunset. If you have kids it's even better because they can entertain themselves. Also the stargazing is great at night. Will definitely stay here again in the future. It's also a good location to get to several hikes in the park.

Beautiful area, sites are tight but reasonable. Bathroom was pretty dirty, took several days before it was cleaned up. Volunteer staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Love the location, the park, the rangers! Awesome experience !
