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 4.4 ft.

Jumbo Rocks Campground is an absolute gem! We enjoyed a several night stay in early April in our small RV in space #92, and it was wonderful. This space is a bit tight for RVs, but it has wonderful spots for tents, which are protected from the wind. The view of the walls of interlocking trapezoidal jumbo rocks is a sight to behold over your morning coffee. The entire campground is inviting, the layout is long and stretched out through the boulder fields, not with camp spaces all jammed together. Plan for the weather and ENJOY!

We loved our campsite, it backed up against an area of the rocks where we could wake up and immediately start scrambling. Even with the close proximity to other sites we still had decent privacy with the bushes and trees. Toilet was clean and barely smelly and fully stocked with TP. I don’t know if it was just the weather we had or how the rocks are laid out, but things got super super windy at our campground and made it sooo difficult to start a fire or heat up charcoal. The camper next to us had his tent shredded by the wind as well. All in all, great campsite and so easy to hike to Skull Rock.

I love Jumbo Rocks and have been camping here for years. My only complaint is I wish there were a way to cut down on non-camper crowds flooding the campground. I literally had several tourists that pulled up and parked and several rudely walked through my campsite and the surrounding other sites to take photos and hike. This was upsetting and I was infuriated that my peaceful space was violated multiple times during my stay.

Spot 89 was great! There is a large parking pad that is parallel to the campsite, which accommodated our truck and 23 ft trailer with extra space to spare. You have plenty of privacy from your neighbor in spot 88, and there are 2-3 areas that you could pitch a medium/large tent. This spot backs up directly to some of the jumbo rock formations which were great for amateur climbing.

We love jumbo rocks Campground. Lots to do for kids. Sites are pretty small. Site 73 was only suited for 1 tent. Great site for an RV or trailer.

This was the best campground we have ever stayed at! There are many sites nestled among an enormous huge boulder field - what a delight. We also really enjoyed the enormous variety of plant life in the park and the many hiking opportunities. We would very much like to return.

Spot #20 was incredible. There was a mistake and someone was at our spot when we arrived at 2pm but with the park ranger's help and within 30 mins we had access to our reservation. Most of the spots in this area are close together but this one was like in a nook. Will be back the jumbo rocks were incredible!
