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.

Nice and clean campsite. Overall it's still a 5 star rating. Be mindful, campsite #22 has no physical separation to site #21

I got a random last minute campsite. My site was fairly private, with some shade, with easy parking. There was an outdoor amphitheater with a ranger led program on astronomy that was quite good. In the morning I went on short nature hike that had descriptions of the various native plants, I like that type of stuff. Generally a very pleasant campground.

Site 26 at Jumbo Rocks perfect for our 22’ TT and pickup, except for leveling, which we knew about in advance. Close to many good hikes and sightseeing, and convenient to 29 Palms for dining options, resupply, etc. During our 3-night stay, this 70-plus YO couple enjoyed the Skull Rock Nature Trail, Desert Queen Mine, Barker Dam, Geology Tour Rd, Hall of Horrors, Hidden Valley, and Split Rock Trail. Outside the park: Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Museum, and, for dinner, Kitchen in the Desert in 29 Palms.

Going to Jumbo Rocks is like going home. Alway enjoy this campground. Great hike right in the park, Skull Rock. The evening programs were excellent and very well done, Auto Talk and the You Are Here Talk. Be sure to bring all the water you may need.

Great campsite. Larger than nearly all of the sites at Jumbo Rocks. Not right on the road like the others. Great Jumbo Rocks view. No campsite to the left of it. Very private. Awesome spot.
