My campsite 118 was very close to the entrance and the toilet, which was nice. However, I was car camping and the campsite next door was very close and there was no barrier between my car and the tent next door. Next time I will have to scope out a campsite with more space around me. I did appreciate the clean bathroom.

Amazing campground! Best NP dry camping spot we have stayed in. Beautiful secluded campsites at the back of the campground. Lots of little off trail hikes around the campground to explore.

My favorite thing about Jumbo Rocks is that your campsite is in such a beautiful spot you dont need to drive anywhere to see a sunrise or sunset, just take a short walk and you are all alone .

Camp site was as advertise, close to bathroom and dumpsters. Jumbo Rocks is awesome and beautiful! No hookups or showers, but that was to be expected. The park was gorgeous and tons of amazing hiking!

It was great. During our trip the site was mainly empty. Which was suprising. The campsite was clean and the facilities were running great (this was during the shut down).

Good site overall, great proximity to the rocks. Generally enough privacy, but since it's close to a good entrance to the rocks, people walk through the top of you camp.

We stayed in site #38. The campground is equipped with a picnic table, fire pit and bbq. We were able to set up a 12’x9’ tent with no problem. The only negative was that it wasn’t perfectly flat. We read reviews that Jumbo Rocks was the best campground in Joshua Tree and we can’t really confirm or deny this because it was our first time there. However, we agree that the location is convenient to all major sightseeing destinations, the beauty of the campground is undeniable and we would definitely stay there again. We loved our time in Joshua Tree and will be going back for sure.
