Absolutely loved this campground and the site in particular. As others has said, just make sure you fill up water before entering park.

Love the unique elements of Joshua Tree- the night sky and endless rocks. The campground was nice but smaller than I expected. We visited last weekend of May when it was still not too warm. I don't mind bugs but the bees were on another level as they frequently gathered in large groups in our campsite. If you are allergic or afraid of bees, I would not recommend.
Would come back but maybe in the Fall.

One of the biggest advantages of Site 19 is the easy access to Penguin Rock. You can walk just a few steps from camp and enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape, especially during sunrise and sunset. The large boulders also create a sense of adventure and natural beauty right at your campsite.

We had a last minute itinerary change to our cross country trip and were able to book a last minute cancellation in Jumbo Rocks that fit our rig. What a gift! This campground is absolutely stunning. We stayed at a site with massive rocks to climb and explore. We watched the sun set and got up to watch the sun rise. There were a lot of bees on the flowering bushes. There are vault toilets but nothing else. Be sure to pack lots of water- it’s extremely hot in June! 5 stars- we LOVED Jumbo Rocks!!

Site 060 is far too close to the neighboring site. Campers were loud and inconsiderate. I would prefer to have a campground with more space even if it means that it is harder to get a campsite.
