We only stayed one night, on our way to the Grand Canyon. We loved this campground and plan to return. We stayed in our motorhome so we did not use the facilities, however, we looked inside the restrooms and they were very clean.

We had a great time. Staff friendly, facilities clean. Jumbo rocks is such a beautiful and unique landscape. Buy extra long stakes, the wind was crazy at night and several in our group lost their canopies.

Spectacular views! Kids enjoyed climbing the rocks and exploring the area.
Entertainment for days. The location of this campsite was amazing as it was connected to several trail heads, like skull rock. The only downside was there was not a sink nor flushable toilet by our site, only compost toilet. We did not have any service in this part of the park but planned accordingly and used walkie talkies to communicate. Definitely will be back with family and friends!

We had site 65 and unfortunately the pit toilet was right in our site with all the people coming and going and the smell…
We were very disapointed.

Jumbo Rocks is an excellent place to camp in Joshua Tree NP due to it's central location. Last year we camped at Indian Cove, which was very cool but necessitated a lot of driving. For a family with an elementary school-aged child, there was endless exploring. Star gazing at night is spectacular.
There is zero cell service in most of the park, but we were able to send texts via T-Mobile statelite messaging. No potable water, so bring a bunch. The sites are mostly very small. Much smaller than other parks but neccesitated by the terrain. Fellow campers were very good about quiet hours, no late partying, etc. despite it being a Spring Break week.
The most dissapointing thing was that that capmground was 100% booked for the week, however, there were MANY noshow sites. Nice to not be so croweded if you are staying there, but disappointing if you are trying to book a campsite. People should be better and cancel the sites they are not going to use. Be better, people.

Camping in the middle of the Park among the Jumbo rocks is always fun.

Great location of the end of the campground. Tent campers: the only flat place a bigger tent will fit is right next to your neighbor and behind the car - not very private. I had a 4p and it barely fit over by the table with only a small slant. No issues if you are not tent camping.
