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 is a great campground. Centrally located in the park. Great rock formations to climb on. Clean restrooms. Sturdy tables. Shade is the main factor. The 'long shadows' from the rocks (in the morning and evening times) is what you should consider when selecting a site. Ours was good on both, and privacy from the road and our neighboring site was great! Campsite 89.

Easy to find the campsite after arriving late and in the dark. We had to park parallel to the site, we could not pull the car in. Facilities were well maintained, trails well marked.

Such an unexpected scenery. Kind of how Dr. Suess would draw rocks. Fun areas to hike around Jumbo Rocks. Great stargazing when the moon is down. Staff is super friendly.

Beautiful campground with clean facilities. My experience was marred by inconsiderate campers in the next site. They were loud and I had to use earbuds to drown them out. If it had been easier to change sites I would have.

Jumbo Rocks CG is awesome! First time back in 53 years and just as exciting to climb a Jumbo Rockpile to see the views.
Other campers were friendly and all seemed to be enjoying the simplicity of the Park. Except for the ones who built a blazing campfire in the neighboring loop in dry times like these, all were respectful of the park’s rules and nature.
If you’ve never been — GO NOW! Enjoy the privilege of having such a wonderful, special place, protected by those before us with the wisdom and foresight to recognize what National Parks would mean to the children and families of the future. You cannot put a price on human experiences like this.
