Very clean, quiet, peaceful and an amazing gorgeous place so much to see and do. The best hiking trails. Do not miss Barker dam and the hall of horrors

Jumbo rocks is in a central location and has interesting rock formations which add privacy to the campsites. The ranger talks are great too.

Campsites are tightly grouped but adequate. There was generator noise first thing in the morning from RVs so bring ear plugs if you want to sleep in.

Love Joshua Tree National Park! Our favorite campground is Jumbo Rocks, but there are several other great campsites as well.

I changed my mind last minute because upon arriving to the region it was too windy for tent camping. Honestly I don't think that Joshua tree campground should even have tent sites until the windy season is over. I mistakenly didn't do my research until after reserving but there were gusts up to 30 and my tent can handle it, but do I want to sleep with that noise all night? No, I ended up getting a local hotel thing which then there was also a fire near that spot, and air quality was not safe for sensitive folks. Soooo... this was a bad time of year, fires and wind are normal here! I just need to pick a better time. I am sorry to not show up but I needed rest.

Campsite 47 is the worst campsite and should really be retired. Do you guys really want that $30 so bad? No privacy, no shade, no rocks, no peace.

81 is a great spot for a travel trailer! 18 ft truck and 30 ft trailer fit the perfect! No WiFi or service but starlink worked great! Super close to multiple hikes! Bathrooms are just vault toilets, not pretty!

Our favorite place to camp at Jumbo Rock! We were lucky enough to get a great spot and although it showed sold out on 1/2 to 3/4 of the sites were full, possibly do to short staffing for cut backs :(
