Great site, ample room, and not too close to neighbors. Relatively close to the bathrooms, but didn't notice any noise in the night.

Great location. The campsite of #32 is excellent spot to watch the sunrise and close to the bathroom. This was my 2nd time staying at Jumbo rocks campground and it has great hikes close by such as Skull rock and Split rock.

Great spot for kids, they love exploring while the adults are setting up or tending to the campsite.

The campsites are a bit too close together. I understand that the wildlife is part of the experience however, when you have too many people close together like that, it brings too many night creatures.

Unfortunately, there was another family in our campsite. We had to sleep in our car while they enjoyed their Pabst Blue Ribbons and roaring fireplace. They did not offer to move to their actual site (we were site 10 and they were supposed to be 110). There should be a proper check-in/monitoring system to prevent this.

Wonderful location. Great for stargazing, hiking on to the nearby trails, or just venturing out and scampering around on the rocks. Will definitely be back!

We really love it. We had site 82 and whole boulder rocks for ourselves. Quiet (except for noisy neighbors) and perfect star gazing location. Really love it and will highly recommend to anyone who are looking for campsite in Joshua Tree National Park.

Great site and great park! All paved, easy walk to Jumbo Rocks and Skull Rock. Our 25 foot RV fit perfectly, this site is more private than most.
