First time in Joshua Tree and we had a blast camping here! Great site, easy to find, and the walk from the parking spot to the site is very short. Bathroom is right across the way and was shockingly clean with plenty of TP. The boulders provided awesome built-in entertainment for our 2 kids, who spent hours just running around and pretending it was their own world- so engrossed they forgot iPads existed for the 3 days we were there.
Minor cons/points to consider: be careful where you set your tent, we didn't really consider wind direction and set up downwind of the fire pit. There are basically 2 spots where you can realistically set up a tent- the one closer to the fire ring was flatter but very strong winds meant we couldn't really do much of a fire bc the embers were blowing into the tent- next time we might deal with the slope and set up behind the grill, depending on the winds. Also, be aware that your neighbors in 114 and 116 will be very close, enough so that you will hear almost every conversation (also a reminder to keep your voices down for your neighbors' sake). Regardless, we loved it and we're already booked again for the fall!

Our entire family (6 adults & 3 kids) had a great Easter weekend at Joshua Tree NP. Friday was windy but calmed Sat & Sun. Weather was perfect. Campsite 92 is a bit small for our 20 ft travel trailer & truck. Definitely a better site for campervan or smaller motorhome. The kids had a great time scrambling on the rocks. The Skull Rock trail is great for all ages but can be crowded on the weekends. Arch Rock/Heart Rock hike was another easy, enjoyable hike for everyone.

Great site and campground. Highly recommend! Just make sure the forecast isn't too hot (or too cold at night) or windy and you should be fine. Great hiking trail nearby and lots of rocks to scramble all around the campground.

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.

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

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!
