JT never fails to impress. The night sky was full of vibrant stars. Site 124 has a small parking spot so when they say nothing longer than 18 ft, they mean it. Will be back.

Nice campground but the second time we visited right at 10pm people were blasting music for hours making it impossible to sleep. The bass was so loud I could hear it through headphones. Several hikers also parked in other campsites parking spots for long periods of time. There was no reception to ask for help from park rangers. It was bad enough to make us not want to camp ever again.

Great little campground with amazing views all around and very clean and peaceful. Easy walk to Skull Rock and many Joshua Tress around.

Always a magical experience visiting Joshua Tree NP. First time (car) camping in the park, and absolutely loved it! Watching the firelight dance along the rocks is a beautiful sight. I was solo car camping in February and the weather wasn't bad either, just needed to bring extra layers and blankets for the cold and kept an eye on the weather. Also felt super safe throughout my solo trip.Jumbo Rocks is in such a great, central location with a couple of beginner-friendly trails and rock climbing right next to the campsite, as well as a great spot for stargazing and watching the sun rise/set. I saw quite a few families with young kids enjoying them. I've seen others say it, but I don't think there's a bad site in the campground. Tips: Bring LOTS of water, prepare (mentally) for pit toilets if you're not used to them, keeping a flora and fauna guide handy can be fun, download the NPS Joshua Tree NP offline guide, wearing shoes with good traction makes rock climbing safer and more fun!

We stayed at the end of October and it was beautiful. The temps were wonderful, the campground (Jumbo Rocks) was great.

It was a gorgeous night. This was a wonderful campground and Im grateful that it was openbeen struggling to get a reservation because of the bees. The star views were amazing and I saw many shooting stars!

Even though it's a lot of campsites it doesn't feel too crowded. Site 124 is at the front of the campground so everyone has to go past the site but otherwise it's a nice area.

Fantastic campground! Great site

I will come back to camp at Jumbo Rocks campground in Joshua Tree National Park soon!

Too many people walking through my campsite. The campground was beautiful, well maintained and, of course, the scenery was drop dead gorgeous. But I will never camp or go there on a holiday weekend again
@RutvikT0AF7996 · Camped on Oct 14, 2022 at Campsite #124
Campsite was small but perfectly located to see the stars at night and climb some jumbo rocks in the morning
@RachelH3398655 · Camped on May 5, 2022 at Campsite #124
Great campsite, our site was right next to a big boulder that you can climb easily so we spent the night up there watching the sunset and the stars. It gets extremely hot there as there is minimal shade and there is no water available to make sure to bring plenty. Toilets are pit toilets. Great location for exploring the national park. No staff on site though when we went.

Jumbo Rocks camp ground was very nice. Clean bathrooms and attentive camp hosts. The new reservation system is not good. No more walk ins. you must have a reservation booked on line yet there is no service in many places in Joshua Tree. It stifles any sense of spontaneity. Its too bad

This was the most beautiful part of the park
@ZacharyB293 · Camped on Dec 31, 2021 at Campsite #124
The site was excellent the facilities were good however our neighbors were very very loud
@katrinai907 · Camped on Nov 30, 2021 at Campsite #124
Beautiful, quiet, clean. Be aware that sites vary hugely....some are private while others are very close to your neighbors. Would still return no matter what site I got though.
@AndreaM220 · Camped on Oct 3, 2021 at Campsite #124
Such an amazing camping experience, we didn't want to leave! We accidentally setup camp at the wrong numbered spot and the park rangers were friendly and helpful getting us to the right place. The nights were starry, peaceful and beautiful. I hope to come back some day.
