As always Jumbo Rock in Joshua Tree National Park was very nice. We went in the middle of the week and the camp site was almost empty. Temp was about 80 during the day and only a little chilly at night.
The park was clean of any trash and the restrooms were clean and well stocked.

The campground itself is excellent and highly recommended. However there is no host present on site, RVs were putting generators and playing loud music until 12am, and people in tents were playing loud music from 6am.

Great campground, although some sites are small or close to the road. Site 119 was nicely nestled between the rocks. Just remember to bring along enough water.

Very beautiful place. Surprisingly clean spaces and bathrooms. But the coyote sightings at night made it uncomfortable. Great during the day tho.

I usually stay at Hidden Valley Campground which is also beautiful but first come first serve. This campsite it BEAUTIFUL. Bathrooms are clean and the roads are paved in case that is a concern. I would absolutely come back

We arrived around 11pm to enjoy the stars in our hammock while our friends camped in their car. The neighboring campers arrived shortly after and had a very large group(at least 8 people with 4 cars) with multiple flood lights placed around to light the area while they cooked and ate. They had no respect for minding their light usage or noise levels. We found a path to take to get away for awhile to somewhere darker and quieter, we got a little lost, but ended up finding our way back following their noise. They didn't quiet down and turn off the lights until after 2am. We slept horribly. While walking to the restroom at night, we realized one of them actually slept in their car while it was still running. When they finally left in the morning they left a cup on the grill that had attracted a swarm of bees.
This was by far the worst camping experience all 4 of us in my party have ever had!

I stayed at Jumbo Rocks Campground last weekend and enjoyed the majestic boulder landscape and great stargazing. A thunderstorm in the distance to the east was awesome to watch while counting shooting stars. No cell service was nice, letting me fully unplug and relax. It really is a serene, almost spiritual, desert getaway.
