Nice campground.
Parking at this site is not leveled.
It’s a one way loop, and it should be in opposite direction to drive into.

One way loop should be in opposite direction to drive into. To park to the site I had to turn my vehicle 180 to park it so trunk would face the site. Very uncomfortable

Beautiful campsite nestled in among the iconic large boulder piles of Joshua Tree NP. Quite large and spacious campground but also busy. Camped in a non-loop site along the main road and it was relatively private. Lots of opportunity to explore in surrounding desert lands, great sunsets but fewer Joshua trees in this area. No cell service around campground, making it a great spot for an escape.

Good camping. We got a sunny site but we didn't stay for a daytime, so it was okay. Kids loved rocks formations and many rabbits around there. Just before living we saw a rattlesnake crossing the road. It didn't care about us and followed its own direction but definitely you need to be aware about them.

Super cool campground. They nestle the camping sites in between cool rock formations. If you want a good hike, do Ryan Mountain trail up to see the sunset. It’s steep but worth the views.

Campground 62 was a great spot. The only problem was there was a rented cruise America RV across from us and the owners did not realize that they should turn off their engine. I did end up going to ask them to turn their engine off. They seemed like they were from Europe and just didn’t know any better. I haven’t camped next to RVs so I don’t know what the protocol is, but it seems like they should be made aware not to leave their engine running for hours.

We had a wonderful time at Jumbo Rocks campground. Everything was good; the reservations, the spot between the boulders, the walks we took (in the early morning because it was very hot later in the day). The trail were natural, but also very good to follow. Thanks very much for the park and this campground.

It would be great if there were a bit more information about each site, like the number of vehicles allowed and the campsite size.
