We love Jumbo Rocks simply because of the built-in bouldering right in your "backyard."

Excellent spot, with at least 2 big areas to set up tents. Includes a picnic table, fire pit, and grill. Jumbo Rocks does have a lot of people not this spot isn’t on top of neighbors. However it is very close to the bathroom, and the neighboring spot will walk through the site to get to the bathroom.

Great scenic camp. We stayed for a night at site #21. It would be nice to book #21 and #22 or #20, or all 3 sites . The site #21 has an access through site #22, which may cause inconvenience for people of that site every time you trespassing. Otherwise, great site. All these sites are not big. We enjoyed our stay.

We've always lived the park and the camping! It's just too bad that it's so crowded; is there no way to limit the number of visitors?
We would be happy to need a reservation to enter if it meant less people in the park!

Camp site was clean, bathrooms were clean, overall great experience. Not having water is challenging, we have a 5 gallon bottle that we went through but that is not easy to change.

It was beautiful, the bathrooms were clean and miraculously not smelly at all, and there was always toilet paper — amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Jumbo Rocks is a great campground with two really nice trails leading from it. The Skull Rock loop is an easy trail with nice views. We booked spot 120, which was perfect for our SUV + Trailer. The campsite detail says 1 vehicle only, no trailers because the spot is only 25ft. But since we're only 23ft we fit perfectly in the space and had no problem. Don't miss the amphitheater, where a park rangers give presentations about Joshua Tree and the national parks service, which was a nice treat. Overall you can't beat this campground. It's away from the crowds of other campgrounds, except for the traffic and visitors around Skull Rock during the day. But evening walks on the loop have very few people.

The campground is in a great central
Location, surrounded by jumbo rocks which makes it a unique and beautiful landscape. They had nightly ranger talks which were very informative. I would camp here again.

This is a beautiful campground. Enjoyed climbing on the big rocks and the skull rock nature trail accessible from the campground. There were a lot of bees in the two pit toilets closest to our site which was a concern as I am allergic to bee stings. They dissipated by night time and during the day I was able to walk to a further toilet that was bee-free. It is always upsetting to see so many empty campsites that had been reserved but no one shows up for days. Site 113 next to us was one of the most beautiful sites and no one showed for the 2 days we were there even though a reservation was posted on the board. This was true for multiple sites throughout the campground.
