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 spent 3 nights at Jumbo Rocks campground, site #017. The campground is located close to hiking trails and the eponymous jumbo rocks. The site itself is flat with room for at least 2 tents and has a fire ring, elevated BBQ, and concrete picnic table. Finally bathrooms are located nearby and they are kept clean and stocked. During our stay no fires of any type were allowed and there is no water available at this campground. Excellent experience and I recommend this campground.

Jumbo Rock Campground is a first rate site with an interesting view aroubd every turn. We saw Coyotes, squirrels and blue jays. The easy hike from there to Skull Rock was awesome.

Site 080 was perfect for me and my friends. Plenty of room for multiple tents, can park right in front of the site and is in between 2 bathrooms. It is also close to the skull rock trail. Definitely donβt recommend going during the summer since it gets really hot and warms up the tents in the morning. Also did wake up to some coyote tracks around the tent and heard them late in the night but nothing to worry about.

Campsite 98 & 103 were clean and spacious. Restrooms were also clean. Skull rock trail was right next to our sites so it was easy to go explore. Would definitely return.

Excellent paved campsites throughout the campground. No water available in the national park so you must remember to bring water with you. Don't underestimate your water usage especially with hot temperatures. Many sites are situated near the jumbo rocks but may run parallel to campground roadway. Pay attention to site restrictions regarding equipment size, etc. Campground is close to many popular hikes so strongly recommend staying here. Would love to come back and visit!

We decided to come in the middle of June so it was a lot warmer than we anticipated. I definitely would recommend coming earlier in the summer or mid fall season. We stayed in spots 017 & 018 and liked that they were close to the restroom, but spots 018 & 019 are the ones closer together and will be better for a larger group. The sites were clean when we arrived but there was a no wood or charcoal fire ban due to poor air quality. The trails were fairly easy to access and climbing the rocks was also easy to climb up and down too. We would definitely recommend this campground and will be returning in the future!

Amazing views. I loved the pull-through sites. With only one side facing the road and the campsite on the other it felt very private. Unfortunately, I was on a hill and had difficulty getting level enough for the propane to power my refrigerator.

This is a great site in an otherwise crowded campground. It is nestled against the rocks so you only have one neighbor. It's quite a small site, but we managed to fit a six person tent because we didn't need to use the fire pit. It has great shade in the morning and we had fun climbing the rocks to do some stargazing in the evening.
