About Jumbo Rocks Campground

Download the NPS app prior to visiting the park – trail maps and more! Jumbo Rocks Campground lies amid the huge, steep rock formations for which Joshua Tree National Park is known. Close proximity to many boulders and rock formations, it is a popular camping location for families with kids. Jumbo Rocks is one of four campgrounds in the park that requires reservations year-round. To get the most out of your visit Plan Like a Park Ranger  Travelers who enjoy warm, dry winters flock to Joshua Tree from October through May, when temperatures hover between 70-90 degrees during the day and drop to a 40-60 degree range at night. Summer is the park's off-season due to the uncomfortably-high desert heat. Jumbo Rocks is at an elevation of 4,380 feet.

The campground setting is amazing. My wife and I ended up foregoing doing some trails to explore around the campsite.

The site itself is up a hill from where you park so you have to lug your gear up that. You also have to walk through someone else’s site.

There is no water in the park. The closest water is at an administrative building that is a 20 minute drive away.

No connection

Jumbo Rocks is in a beautiful setting. When you arrive, you will pass one amazing site after another; dramatic huge rock formations and decent parking space. Some places even have a bit of shade (created by the jumbo rock formations). Too bad for us, however, that our site, site 71, was one of the least desirable sites in the campground; no huge rock formations, no shade from rocks or bushes and and a very un-level parking spot. There are pit toilets near, however, the campground was very full and therefore the toilets were in high demand. The table as nice and there was a hill you could climb to have a few of the sunset

Campsite was well maintained and clean. Restrooms are clean enough. There were one fire ring and one fireplace to cook. Suggest bringing your own table cover.

Beautiful place, nice camp spot. Would definitely recommend. The weather is really cold in January, would probably go early March/April next time.

Be sure to bring water! The nearest refill stations are outside the park boundaries.

Jumbo Rocks is always a scenic treat, no matter what campsite you pick. Sunrise out there is always worth getting up a little early for. It’s our favorite spot.
