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.

We choose the perfect spot to see the shooting stars in the perfectly dark sky's away from the light pollution of LA. The landscape feels like being on an alien moon, surrounded by the most fascinating large boulders. We look forward to returning in the future. The many clean restrooms throughout the campsite was a huge unexpected bonus.

JTree is now overrun and this camp ground is horrible. I have been going to the park since I was a kid and all the internet kooks have killed the vibe and serenity. Too crowded, too loudβ¦β¦..Sad!

Great site - some campsites can be a bit exposed, especially in the summer heat, but overall a beautiful environment to enjoy Joshua Tree. A pop up shade can be very helpful.

Campsite was clean, lots of rocks and trails nearby. There are bees everywhere and very bothersome during the day. No bees at night.
