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.

Great site. We camped with a short square drop trailer (16ft) without any issues.

The sites here are very close together. This site had room for 2 4 person tents, so that was nice. They were fairly level, but not perfectly level. 2 other sites are in very close proximity. This site is far enough away to not smell the bathrooms or dumpsters, so that was great.

We had had a fantastic one night stay. Great campsite with beautiful views. Could only secure one night on short notice but it was worth it. Very busy campground so book early.

What a magical place! Lots of kids running around so if you don’t mind light chaos (like most busy campgrounds) then this place is great. It’s one big playground of monzo-granite. And it’s walkable to some really fun climbing. We also saw some coyotes trotting though, which I thought was a fun touch, just keep those small pets on a short leash!

The site was clean and easy to access. Rest rooms were close to in each direction and the other campers were private and did not cause an issues.

Best campsite in America. Beautiful and unique location. Perfect for kids to explore. Services are basically zero, so bring everything you need - especially water.

I stayed at campsite 55.
Jumbo Rocks is a great campground for families! As the name implies, there are plenty of large rock formations for kids to climb around on; they are basically a built in playground. That alone made this campground a stand out experience.
The campsites are pretty close to each other, with only bushes between sites. We were lucky in that our neighboring campsite was empty, so it felt private.
Campsite 55 is near the end of the road around Jumbo Rocks, so there was little to no road noise. It is a bit of a walk to the toilets, but for me that was a benefit. There is a dumpster for trash close by but not close enough to be heard opening or closing.
There is no running water or cell service at this campground, so plan accordingly.
Noise at night was not an issue with sleep. Neighbors settled down early. There is a surprising amount of jet noise, but it wasn’t too loud, and (of course, this is the great outdoors), some animal noise at night as well.
I highly recommend this campsite and campground!

Nice campground with great access to trails for a sunrise or sunset hike. The other sites had some more fun jumbo rocks, but overall, 101 was a great site that was set back from the road and had clean bathrooms
