Excellent paved campsites throughout the campground. No water available in the national park so you must remember to bring water with you. Don't underestimate your water usage especially with hot temperatures. Many sites are situated near the jumbo rocks but may run parallel to campground roadway. Pay attention to site restrictions regarding equipment size, etc. Campground is close to many popular hikes so strongly recommend staying here. Would love to come back and visit!

Jumbo Rocks is an amazing place. I wish I could have spent more than 3 nights there. The campground is well cared for and the vault toilets were clean and well maintained. The trails in and around the campground are world class. Cant wait to return.

Like any campground there is a wide variation in the different campsites. Without knowing which sites would be best for our needs were hesitant to book online. We took our chances and drove to the campground with no reservations. It was a little inconvenient to have to go to the campground, note acceptable sites, then drive back 10 miles toward the park entrance to get cell reception to make a reservation.The park itself was beautiful. (And campsite 90 had great level parking for a camper van!)

Amazing campground, large parking space for your camper.The view was fantastic.The kids loved climbing at the rocks and they enjoyd the pink sky in the clouds.It was a great experience!

The campground itself is clean. The restrooms could be better. But that's more on campers and the public who use it and do not keep it acceptably decent.

This campsite is beautiful and isolated from the others around it. The parking pad is easy to pull up and pull through. Its very level. We had no trouble fitting both our truck and pop-up trailer (16ft box, 23ft completely open) and we even had a few feet to spare. Even though the campground was full it was still quiet. The pit toilets were well maintained. We filled our trailer water tank at the west park entrance via some portable water tanks and a funnel. You can hook up a hose if you have a long enough one (20-30ft).

What a gorgeous spot! We arrived on a windy day but had protection from the rocks on site 90. Would try to stay further back next time for more room and privacy, but with the wind, our site was just perfect.

Let me begin with the fact that Joshua Tree is one of my favorite places on earth and the Jumbo Rock campground is wonderful... EXCEPT. The overwhelming majority of "campers" these days are in MASSIVE RV's with very loud generators that are being run outside the allowed generator time period. Even if used during the allotted time, these contraptions are absurdly loud and destroy any hope for tranquility. Moreover, I could hear home-style heating units cycling on/off all night long. People also brought portable light pollution stations so they could illuminate their entire campground. We go to Joshua Tree to escape the noise of the city and experience natural beauty in peace and quiet. Every year Joshua Tree/Jumbo Rocks gets louder and louder and the RVs get bigger and bigger. I propose that Joshua Tree make Jumbo Rock (and most campsites) a TENT ONLY campground and ban anything louder than a propane oven. Joshua Tree should be about getting back to nature and embracing a simpler life, not about bringing your house into "the woods" complete with all of the electronic/gas-powered trappings that come along with it.

Wonderful location and great sites. Just amazing!

It us a very nice Campground with the great jumbo rocks around. It was great to walk the Skull Rock Trail just before sunset directly from the campground.
Unfortunately we only stayed one night here.

Joshua Tree was an inspiring, beautiful environment. I was disappointed that our camping spot was basically right on the road. It seeks to me that the camping sites were poorly planned. Nevertheless, it went smoothly and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to see Joshua Tree.

Such a beautiful place
@VictoriaI127 · Camped on Nov 12, 2021 at Campsite #90
Beautiful campground. Kids and adults all had an absolutely amazing time. Can’t wait to come back!
@PaugoN162 · Camped on Aug 20, 2021 at Campsite #90
Great location as it is in the middle of the park. We had campsite #90 which was in the center of the campsite. We had some neighbors but it was not full for the 1 night we stayed. Bathrooms are nearby. Walking distance to the Skull Rock trail.
@LaniH978 · Camped on Apr 26, 2021 at Campsite #90
Loved the solitude and cleanliness of the campground.
@Kristinaf793 · Camped on Feb 23, 2021 at Campsite #90
Stunning Jumbo Rocks. Lots of hiking trails near the campground. Private camp areas and it is very clean. Just be prepared are self contained and no cell service throughout the park.
@StephanieS533 · Camped on Nov 10, 2020 at Campsite #90
Nice campsite in terms of landscape. Sites are pretty well spaced. Unfortunately it seemed that other campers didn't care about the distinction between trash and recycle, so those areas were a mess.
