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 4.4 ft.

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.

Good spot! I was able to fit a medium-large sized tent and one small tent on this site. There is one site just passed this one that requires campers to walk just beside this site. However, tents can be positioned to create a bit more privacy. Overall, great experience! Would camp here again anytime!

Pets may not be left unattended or tied to an object; leaving pets in unattended vehicles is strongly discouraged – especially on warm days.
