Jumbo Rocks is a great place to camp during the winter. The cool weather and clear skies are delightful. As the sun sets, you can enjoy grilling steaks and sipping wine while gazing at the stars in the night sky – it's a truly special place. Site #119, in particular, is set apart from the other campsites, allowing for a more private and relaxing camping experience.

Will absolutely be back to this campground. Though the sites were all booked online but most sites were not occupied, making it a calm and quiet night. Clean and spacious site, parking for our truck and trailer worked out wonderful at this site! No cell service for Verizon, until you get back into the town 25 min drive away.

Excellent location. Right in the middle of large boulders! Jumbo rocks campground had everything a camper could desire. Clean volt toilet, easy marked camp sites, pictures and descriptions on the recreation.gov website were very accurate. Several easy to moderate hiking trails right out of the campground.

Had a marvelous time in Joshua Tree. The first ranger we encountered at the North Entrance named Elliott was so very helpful. Plus you could see how much he loved his career choice! Camped at Jumbo Rocks and Cottonwood, both terrific. Also the night at Jumbo rocks had a ranger talk on the History of the National Parks and it was very cold but had no desire to leave, it was a great lecture and slide show! It may have been "Elliott" was his name, sorry!
Great hikes weather and wonderful Park, thank you for taking such great care of it!

Really enjoyed our 3-day, 2-night stay at Jumbo Rocks campground. Our site was at the "back" of the campground and therefore was relatively quiet and void of much car traffic. The sunrises on the boulder formations were spectacular.
