It was my first stay at the campground. Very clean, well marked. I made my planned night shot of Milky Way and left campground being very happy.

Had a lovely stay. The site was close to the neighbors parking spot but had a lovely hill where you could see for miles. Quiet campground and ample space between us and the next site.

Jumbo rocks is our go-to for camping at JT. It’s beautiful landscape and the grounds are very well maintained. Rangers are friendly and dedicated (remarkable given how much their funding has been cut). Other campers tend to be respectful of the park and other campers.

Great location.
Some difficulty to find the park number when we arrived during the night.

Camping for a few days at Jumbo rock campsite in late May was excellent. In the camp ground we were able to start the skull rock hike and from a small driving distance was arch rock hike and heart rock hike, which was wonderful. We hiked early morning and evening since it was warm during the day. Stargazing is amazing. At jumbo rock there’s a few areas within the campsite that have large flat rocks where you could literally lay down and stargaze. Some live activity during the night such as fox and owls. Live activity during the day was quails, rabbits, squirrels, different reptiles, and yes coyotes. Coyotes do stay away from humans and as soon as they see you, they go the opposite direction, which we felt very safe. Overall, excellent experience.

The pros are pretty obvious here, a site in a beautiful and quiet place, so I'll focus on the not so obvious aspects of the site. There's no more presentation at the amphitheater due to budget cuts at the moment. I'm not even sure there's a camp host, I only saw a park representative drive by once a day. There's no driveway with this site. The language on the listing and pictures makes it seem like there could be a driveway you can back into here but there is not. You are just parked on the road next to your site (120 and 119 have small driveways). 121 and 118 are essentially opposite sides of the same site so I'd recommend booking both unless you are really comfortable splitting a site with strangers. Also, you are very close to the pit toilet and you will smell it frequently. This is pretty common for the whole camp though.
