What Guests Are Saying
Jumbo Rocks Campground offers a clean and well-maintained environment with stunning views, quiet nights, and easy access to hiking trails and climbing opportunities. Many campsites provide a sense of privacy and seclusion, especially if chosen wisely, while facilities like clean restrooms enhance the camping experience. However, some sites are closely situated, which can lead to noise and foot traffic from neighbors, and the presence of bees may be bothersome for some visitors.

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 bathroomβ¦ 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!!π

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.

Campsite 91 at Jumbo Rocks was great. Flat ground for 2, maybe 3 small tent sites. Campfire ring, camp grill and picnic table provided. Parking for 2 vehicles along the campsite. The campsite is along the road so you can hear the cars drive by but it wasn't very bothersome at night. The rocks encircle the other 3 sides of the campsite so you are quite private from the other campsites. Near the ampitheater. Close but far enough away from the pit toilets that I didn't notice any smell. Trash cans at campgrounds. No water because it's the desert so pack water during your stay. Clean pit toilets that get checked on a busy weekend. Weirdly a fog settled in thickly right at the campground for a night that made everything damp but the next night we had clear skies and it was great for star watching. Scrambling on the jumbo rocks were awesome and there's some rock climbing routes right in the campground and a short walk away. Accessible campground with just a short drive to other great rock climbing. Would recommend this campsite. Note, that on holiday weekends, the campground may draw larger crowds and all the campsites were full. Some people were not respectful of quiet hours and there was no check in by camp hosts so bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to sound and coming on a weekend. Otherwise, most other campers were great.
