Such a cool place to camp. Was able to take a quick hike to a Skull Rock at sunset and it was magical.

Had a great time! Lots of places to hike and explore within walking distance. The two nights we stayed they had ranger programs. The star one with Ranger Ryan was amazing!

Great campsite. Larger than nearly all of the sites at Jumbo Rocks. Not right on the road like the others. Great Jumbo Rocks view. No campsite to the left of it. Very private. Awesome spot.

Going to Jumbo Rocks is like going home. Alway enjoy this campground. Great hike right in the park, Skull Rock. The evening programs were excellent and very well done, Auto Talk and the You Are Here Talk. Be sure to bring all the water you may need.

Site 26 at Jumbo Rocks perfect for our 22’ TT and pickup, except for leveling, which we knew about in advance. Close to many good hikes and sightseeing, and convenient to 29 Palms for dining options, resupply, etc. During our 3-night stay, this 70-plus YO couple enjoyed the Skull Rock Nature Trail, Desert Queen Mine, Barker Dam, Geology Tour Rd, Hall of Horrors, Hidden Valley, and Split Rock Trail. Outside the park: Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Museum, and, for dinner, Kitchen in the Desert in 29 Palms.

I got a random last minute campsite. My site was fairly private, with some shade, with easy parking. There was an outdoor amphitheater with a ranger led program on astronomy that was quite good. In the morning I went on short nature hike that had descriptions of the various native plants, I like that type of stuff. Generally a very pleasant campground.

Nice and clean campsite. Overall it's still a 5 star rating. Be mindful, campsite #22 has no physical separation to site #21

Enjoyed the stargazing constellations talk given by the ranger on Tuesday night!
