Camping in the middle of the Park among the Jumbo rocks is always fun.

Beautiful well maintained park! Very special place. Thank you to all the rangers and staff that care for Joshua Tree.

One of the more Beautiful campgrounds I have ever seen. The Campsite was excellent too

@ChrisP7014555 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #17

Jumbo Rocks is an excellent place to camp in Joshua Tree NP due to it's central location. Last year we camped at Indian Cove, which was very cool but necessitated a lot of driving. For a family with an elementary school-aged child, there was endless exploring. Star gazing at night is spectacular.There is zero cell service in most of the park, but we were able to send texts via T-Mobile statelite messaging. No potable water, so bring a bunch. The sites are mostly very small. Much smaller than other parks but neccesitated by the terrain. Fellow campers were very good about quiet hours, no late partying, etc. despite it being a Spring Break week.The most dissapointing thing was that that capmground was 100% booked for the week, however, there were MANY noshow sites. Nice to not be so croweded if you are staying there, but disappointing if you are trying to book a campsite. People should be better and cancel the sites they are not going to use. Be better, people.

Beautiful rocks surrounding! Loved it! But campsites are very close to each other

@DanielT9444061 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #52

First time visiting Joshua Tree and campsite 52 at Jumbo Rocks was absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. Spacious compared to some of the other sites we saw around camp and appreciated the shade of the Joshua Tree during the hot parts of the day (spring time). Lots of spots to explore nearby and conveniently close to the bathroom.

Jumbo rocks is a gem. Site 41 fits a motorhome you can use your pop out but you gotta button up real close. You need blocks to level out, its on a slant. There is room for 1 tent but its not very level, you can probably get another small tent but the area isnt too level. Cool rocks for the kids to climb right at your site. Would stay at this site again.

@JamesH5225020 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #44

Clean and quiet despite being Spring Break and completely full. Trail from campground to skull rock enjoyable.

@JennaE9E7A6706 · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #26

The campground was clean and quiet. Our site was amazing. Would highly recommend. Note there is NO water in the campground.

@RachelR8534803 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #95

Pros: Jumbo rocks campground was perfect to explore nearby attractions and the campground was spacious in terms of the table/grill being far from the paved parking spot so ample room for a tent. Cons: For site 095 specifically, it is located right next to the bathroom which may be a pro to some but a con to us. Numerous of individuals, adults and children, were too lazy to walk an extra 20 feet around our campsite and instead cut through multiple times a day and even throughout the night making it impossible to sleep in our rooftop tent. Additionally, at this site you can hear people's conversations late at night, not just your immediate neighbor, but like 5+ camp sites away word for word.

@christineB9533 · Camped on Mar 20, 2025 at Campsite #63

Camping among the rocks offers good opportunity to climb a little for sunset/sunrise views.

@EvelynL2559010 · Camped on Mar 20, 2025 at Campsite #111

Great spot. Very spacious campsite. Near the bathroom. Only downside of it, there's only one bathroom on that side, so a line would often form.

@HanjunW4434FA8 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #38

The campsite environment is very good. Camping in the wilderness is quite enjoyable.

@JamesT8733204 · Camped on Mar 17, 2025 at Campsite #40

Beautiful desert

@TammyC6063506 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #85

We did not realize campers and vehicles all park along the road parallel to your camp spot. Definitely pay attention to the length allotted for each site as we barely fit in ours. Also our neighbors were parked across the line when we arrived making our spot appear much smaller than we thought. They moved and were very nice about it.

@Christina44325 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #72

Quiet, clean, and spacious campsites. 72 had a big wide space to pitch several tents and close enough but not next to the toilet. Great!!!

@IgorCC3F1D149F · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #46

Great place! Would love to come back

@AllenM9407338 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #98

Had a great time exploring and hiking the rocks. Trails are pretty well marked.

@MarshaJ5507932 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #111

Bathrooms were clean and we were happy to see a young woman ranger taking care of guests complaining about two visitors who kept them up all night

@RobP589B432DD0 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #40

Beautiful park and camping spot that is perfect for a rooftop tent. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that we were unlucky that a group of students stayed in the spot opposite to us and kept us and other guests up all night with music, loud talking, and incredibly rude behaviour. Wish there were some park rules that would be enforced to keep this beautiful spot nice and quiet during the night.

@MollyL18BC592F · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #48

Bathrooms were clean, and super easy parking. This sight is a little on top of one another and at a slight incline but easy to adjust to make everything comfortable.

@SuSandiH2141FF · Camped on Mar 14, 2025 at Campsite #52

this was our first time camping at Joshua tree and snagged the last camp site a month out. I was kind of bummed at first because it wasnt a campsite with the big rocks as the back drop but it actually turned out to be perfect! The campsite was close to the car but not on the road. It was nice and secluded. The bathrooms were clean! the very popular campsites were so congested with cars, rvs and people. We had a really nice experience and saw so much wildlife walk through our camp!

@WayneK5520252 · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #33

Extremely unique experience unlike any other RV campsite! Large campsites with grills and tables. Spectacular views of the desert, jumbo rocks & mountains. Limitless hiking opportunities through beautiful & unique rock formations and greenery. Nice restrooms. Unfortunately no dump station. Be prepared...no cellular service.

@waynew9907957 · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #116

Tent camped here in mid-March. Weather was frosty and had some rain and snow flurries most of the time. One of my favorite places to camp. Campground was pretty empty (a lot of no-shows; most likely because of the weather).

@DennisL7397034 · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #25

Wonderful place.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
