Bardzo przyjemny kamping wśród wielkich głazów (dają cień w ciągu dnia). Kamping posiada ławeczkę i stolik przy każdym miejscu. Mieliśmy jedynie problem z myszą która weszła do auta w nocy i szukała jedzenia

Awesome spot
Easy to reach and everything you need (restrooms, bins, bright stars at night, etc.) is there

Perfect weather to tent camp. You could see the Milky Way at night which was awesome. My campsite was a short walk to the restrooms which was nice. I would definitely choose my same site again if I come back.

Jumbo Rocks in my favorite campground in Joshua Tree National Park. Just pick a direction and start walking, amazing sights in every direction. And it has a spectacular night sky.

Was so peaceful and quiet. The view is amazing surrounded by rock formations perfect hill to climb to the top for sunrise plenty of room for two tents. Only space for one vehicle car or truck not a RV. Restrooms are directly across from the site on the other side of a small median

Great campsite. Fun walking around the area and taking the hike to Skull rock. We saw a tarantula, a bunny, and lots of little lizards. Camping near the massive boulders and under the stars was the best.

We booked the Tuesday before Labor Day because there had been a lot of cancellations due to the weather forecast (rain). We ended up not staying both nights because our tent broke and with two kids, a baby, and dog PLUS the rain that was a deal breaker for us! That said, we still had a great time. The kids loved rock hopping and we walked to Skull Rock from our campsite which was fun. We visited the Welcome Center which is outside the NP toll booths (probably a 45 min drive from Jumbo Rocks) and the kids got Junior Ranger guides, which we mostly completed. This wasn't our first time camping here and it won't be the last!

Excellent campground and facilities. The rangers were super helpful and friendly and genuinely seemed to love their jobs (even on a hot holiday weekend). We’ll be back!
