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.

Jumbo Rocks campground is a great campground with access to the trail to Skull Rock, and lots of rocks as suggested in the name for rock climbing. The giant rocks and boulders kept my son entertained while I cooked.
Spot 48 is just ok because it does not have a flat surface but, for an overnight stay, it was perfect. It’s close the bathroom.
There is no water access and no cell service for t-mobile carriers.

Stunning place. The site we stayed on was in the open (no rocks behind us).

Next time we go we will make sure we’re not in the open.

There’s a town about 15 minutes away where you can get groceries. Not recommended the restaurant though.

Great location to lots of hiking spots!

Beautiful campground, I booked site 28, unfortunately didn’t read anywhere that the actual site is down a trail past other sites past the lot, so be aware. I also got there after dark and it was impossible to tell where it was. I just slept in my car but still enjoyed the campground in the morning. Don’t think I’d book that or any of the sites along that trail again but will try this campground again. It was great to hike and climb around on rocks and is just beautiful ! This site is close to a vault toilet, which was convenient. And a close drive to skull rock and the 29 Palms entrance to the park.

I had a good experience camping here. Just be prepared for vault toilets and there is no running water.

I could not have had a more exciting experience. The campsite was well marked with clean facilities nearby. Roads throughout the park were well maintained and sites of interest/hiking trails easily identified with signage.

From fast moving storms, flash floods, and then beautiful night skies it was quite an experience.
