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.

Beautiful campground with clean facilities. My experience was marred by inconsiderate campers in the next site. They were loud and I had to use earbuds to drown them out. If it had been easier to change sites I would have.

Jumbo Rocks CG is awesome! First time back in 53 years and just as exciting to climb a Jumbo Rockpile to see the views.
Other campers were friendly and all seemed to be enjoying the simplicity of the Park. Except for the ones who built a blazing campfire in the neighboring loop in dry times like these, all were respectful of the parkβs rules and nature.
If youβve never been β GO NOW! Enjoy the privilege of having such a wonderful, special place, protected by those before us with the wisdom and foresight to recognize what National Parks would mean to the children and families of the future. You cannot put a price on human experiences like this.

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.
