Great views. Campsite was a little tight, by OK. It became very windy.

@DeboraRB03083A · Camped on Nov 12, 2024 at Campsite #6

Beautiful area. Campsites are very close together, so there isnt much privacy. I wish they were more spread out. Campers were very loud and obnoxious. No rangers except at entrance and exit gates.

Great campground! Good location to see sunrise and lots of rocks to climb on!

@KimM8115265 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #26

Always a beautiful camping experience here at Jumbo Rocks. This trip had some guy decide to sleep outside on the rock above my campsite, even though he had rocks by his own site. Thought it was weird but whatever dude. He didnt make it the whole night, it got down to the 30s and he was gone by 11 pm LOL.

@Christoph94057 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #120

Incredible site. Tons of space and privacy. Arguably the best site at Jumbo Rocks.

@AlmaF561109898 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #51

Trash everywhere, loud campers - not a restful environment.

@ChrisN6913042 · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #117

Great place but kinda cold at night the time we were there? Still the most amazing star gazing I've ever done. Highly recommend

@TeresaM2076490 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #52

The staff in the visitors center gave excellent tips regarding what to see within the park based on my interests, hiking capabilities and time. They also gave good directions. Very valuable information!

@MichaelP381919 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #45

Clean campsite... clean restrooms... plenty of privacy...Will visit again...

@RobertR8191303 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #27

Quiet and good doace between campsites. Pit toilets were very clean and im not a fan of pit toilets. I really liked that there were a few trails right from the campsites - no need to drive

Great campground!

@BennyYi521F0C8 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #20

Everything went very well!

@MichaelF110976 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #85

Good site right by some rocks to go climb around on, but very close to the next site (firepits are separated by some shrubs and about 30 feet.) Driveway was also eroding into the wash, but there was plenty of safe room for my camper van.

@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Oct 31, 2024 at Campsite #13

nice place

@MarkD7704923 · Camped on Oct 29, 2024 at Campsite #90

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!)

@SamM7106443 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #79

Stayed at site 79 and it is a magical space. With a small portal into a campsite behind rocks and access to amazing bouldering right behind the site, you don't need to go far to explore. If you were coming as a group, booking sites 79-77 would be perfect. Unfortunately, a group moved into site 78 on our last night and partied until 3am, which reminded me why I hate this kind of camping so much and looking forward to my son being old enough to pack into the back county. Wish there was some form of monitoring to ensure basic respect for others' space without having to pick a fight.

We visited quite a few national parks on our visit- Grand Canyon, Zion and Joshua Tree - and had a wonderful time. Jumbo Rocks was lovely.The toilets were clean, the campsites were week situated. A great experience.Visiting from Australia

@NicholasTB75B3 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #71

Great camping spot. Really nice views especially during sunrise and sunset

@JessicaW169B52 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #6

Campsite is very close to others, but all the campsites are in Jumbo Rocks so its definitely one of the better sites you can get. This site is completely shaded all day.

@IsabelleM75503 · Camped on Oct 28, 2024 at Campsite #21

The campground is well maintained and the location is amazing!

@NormaLD4767788 · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #1

Really enjoy the beauty of Joshua Tree Jumbo Rocks campground, and will return. However, it is important to check for wind advisories out that way. Got caught in high winds overnight in my small tent. Although it was beautiful to see the sunrise because I hardly slept a wink, I would probably try a different place in the Park next time to avoid so much wind.

@KerstinK504ADF · Camped on Oct 27, 2024 at Campsite #31

Great campground in wonderful landscape

@LucindaB503053 · Camped on Oct 26, 2024 at Campsite #93

Its a lovely campground, but without anyone there to enforce rules and supervise the mayhem (loud obnoxious drunks cussing and walking around the campground in the middle of the night, loud radio blasting, cars speeding thru the campground etc.. ) made for an unpleasant experience.

@CoryL9682050 · Camped on Oct 24, 2024 at Campsite #69

We stayed at #69 and it was one of the best camp spots. We had trees that made the site private from the main road. The rocks in the morning were beautiful. There is a trail from the campground that leads to skull rock that was short and beautiful. No flush toilets and no running water. We brought our 11 liter Nemo for washing dishes etc. the only downside to the campground is that most of the sites are really close to each other and some sites are right on the main road in and out of the campground.

@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Oct 23, 2024 at Campsite #35

Clean campground with nice sites and connected to some short but spectacularly scenic trails-

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
