This was my first time camping in Joshua Tree and it was a great experience. I stayed to view the meteor shower in December. It was easy to book and the campgrounds have all the basics, include a toilet nearby. I will definitely be back again.

Enjoyed a quiet, peaceful three night stay at Jumbo Rocks campground. Plenty of clean vault toilets spread around the campground. A trailhead to Skull Rock was in the campground. No cell service was available on T-MOBILE. Plenty of available hikes, from easy to strenuous. A fun trip to Joshua Tree!

Clean campground, clean toilets, small sites. Nice hike from the campground to Skull Rock. When we pulled into “our” site there was a line of large RVs parked/camped on the other side of the street. They had their generators on even tho’ it was not during the approved generator time. We decided to move to a different campsite

Spacious corner compared to other sites nearby, though you have to walk a little bit from the parking, which could not be a problem if you light packed or with a wheeled cart. The weather in December was nice, not too cold by the fire pit in the evening and the morning was way better than the early summer. We took plenty of water, and not a hard time for us. A great night to be disconnected. So chill under the stars.

Make sure u bring water
The bathroom clean
If u pay 30 $ a night they can invest in some cheap solar panels and lights for bathrooms.!!!!!!

Spot 49 was great!! It’s close to bathrooms (they were very clean) and tucked away into its own little area, further away from others compared to other sites. Ton of space and perfect for sunset. Our tent was a six person tent and the space made it look small. When coming back to Joshua tree, we will definitely be back to this spot!
