Don’t get me wrong Joshua tree is beautiful and it’s hard to be mad when you get to camp inside the park, but this campsite itself was kinda strange setup, first thing is you need to park maybe 100ft from the actual site and you need to ether walk through your left or right neighbors campsite to even access yours, trees and bushes block any access to your parking spot without walking into other campsites luckily for us we had no one staying in the sites to our left and right but if those sites had been occupied this site would feel like your in the background of 2 other sites. The spot for your tent is about 10x10 max the rock and bushes are preventing any larger tent. Beautiful campground with plenty of restrooms well maintained and the whole campground is pathed so ridding around the campground is a breeze and scull rock is literally right down the street.

Joshua Tree National Park is AWESOME!! I stayed at Jumbo Rocks Campground and it is a very beautiful campground set among the natural rock formations. I will definitely go back and spend more time there again!! The other campsites looked great too!!

Fun campsite with fire pits and tables. Not all sites are good for adventure vans or trailers, so pay attention to that. There are nice hikes that you can approach from the back of the campsite, and you ate situated nicely in the park for whatever adventure you want to do each day. The bathrooms are maintained regularly (thanks!). It gets very dark at night, so bring a magnetic flashlight for the bathroom… you can attach it to the metal door. We were there in early January and we would definitely visit again in Jan. The camps were full, but the trails were not!!😎

There's something magical about waking up in the midst of the Jumbo Rocks Campground. Spot #91 is especially quiet and secluded.

This is a wonderful campground, and I've been coming here yearly for most of my 68 years. The only thing I would wish for, is that the campground would be modified to reflect more the changes that have occurred in the RV travel industry. The majority of camp sites are for tenters only. Larger sites are needed for modern RV units. It's been decades since any modifications have been made (with the exceptions of the vault toilets).

Used to be my favorite campground in the US. But the people camping these days have changed. They will absolutely walk through your campsite, move your stuff, and leave their trash wherever they please. Heartbreaking. Jumbo Rocks is a stunning campground... but dealing with entitled jerks isn't my idea of a good stay. Parks are doing the best they can, but they need more funding and more law enforcement.

Beautiful place, lots of things to explore! Restrooms were clean and plenty of paper. We arrived just after dark and it was difficult to find our spot, the markers aren't legible in the dark except up close. Most of the parking spots are right along the road, so no backing in, but you might have to go to the end to turn around. Verizon has no service there.
