Beautiful place, lots of things to explore! Restrooms were clean and plenty of paper. We arrived just after dark and it was difficult to find our spot, the markers aren't legible in the dark except up close. Most of the parking spots are right along the road, so no backing in, but you might have to go to the end to turn around. Verizon has no service there.

Amazing campsite! Jumbo rocks all around!
The only downside is no water which translates to pit toilets. Everything else is spectacular.

Campsite 91 at Jumbo Rocks was great. Flat ground for 2, maybe 3 small tent sites. Campfire ring, camp grill and picnic table provided. Parking for 2 vehicles along the campsite. The campsite is along the road so you can hear the cars drive by but it wasn't very bothersome at night. The rocks encircle the other 3 sides of the campsite so you are quite private from the other campsites. Near the ampitheater. Close but far enough away from the pit toilets that I didn't notice any smell. Trash cans at campgrounds. No water because it's the desert so pack water during your stay. Clean pit toilets that get checked on a busy weekend. Weirdly a fog settled in thickly right at the campground for a night that made everything damp but the next night we had clear skies and it was great for star watching. Scrambling on the jumbo rocks were awesome and there's some rock climbing routes right in the campground and a short walk away. Accessible campground with just a short drive to other great rock climbing. Would recommend this campsite. Note, that on holiday weekends, the campground may draw larger crowds and all the campsites were full. Some people were not respectful of quiet hours and there was no check in by camp hosts so bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to sound and coming on a weekend. Otherwise, most other campers were great.

If you planning to camp here during winter, make sure youre well prepared with enough warm clothes and camping stuff.. Also, dont be scared if you hear the coyotes or hienas during the peaceful night:)

I had probably the most fun I have ever had at a national park campsite. There was easy access to all the trail systems near the campgrounds as well as convenient restroom locations. Would highly recommend this campground to anyone looking to visit Joshua Tree National Park!

Jumbo Rocks is a spectacular campground. The only downside to me is no water which translates to only pit toilets.

Was nice and secluded being at the far back of the campground. Ended up only staying one night due to the wind and cold other than that it was perfect.

Perfect spot you can put your tent up against the rock to help with the wind. In the afternoon the rocks provide some shade.

Second time staying in site 69. Perfect little spot by the rocks to set up your kitchen area. Nice spot between trees and bushes to set up your tent.
