What Guests Are Saying
Jumbo Rocks Campground offers a clean and well-maintained environment with stunning views, quiet nights, and easy access to hiking trails and climbing opportunities. Many campsites provide a sense of privacy and seclusion, especially if chosen wisely, while facilities like clean restrooms enhance the camping experience. However, some sites are closely situated, which can lead to noise and foot traffic from neighbors, and the presence of bees may be bothersome for some visitors.

Camping among the rocks offers good opportunity to climb a little for sunset/sunrise views.

Great spot. Very spacious campsite. Near the bathroom. Only downside of it, there's only one bathroom on that side, so a line would often form.

First time visiting Joshua Tree and campsite 52 at Jumbo Rocks was absolutely perfect for my daughter and I. Spacious compared to some of the other sites we saw around camp and appreciated the shade of the Joshua Tree during the hot parts of the day (spring time). Lots of spots to explore nearby and conveniently close to the bathroom.

Quiet, clean, and spacious campsites. 72 had a big wide space to pitch several tents and close enough but not next to the toilet. Great!!!

We did not realize campers and vehicles all park along the road parallel to your camp spot. Definitely pay attention to the length allotted for each site as we barely fit in ours. Also our neighbors were parked across the line when we arrived making our spot appear much smaller than we thought. They moved and were very nice about it.

Pros: Jumbo rocks campground was perfect to explore nearby attractions and the campground was spacious in terms of the table/grill being far from the paved parking spot so ample room for a tent.
Cons: For site 095 specifically, it is located right next to the bathroom which may be a pro to some but a con to us. Numerous of individuals, adults and children, were too lazy to walk an extra 20 feet around our campsite and instead cut through multiple times a day and even throughout the night making it impossible to sleep in our rooftop tent. Additionally, at this site you can hear people's conversations late at night, not just your immediate neighbor, but like 5+ camp sites away word for word.
