Pros: Jumbo rocks campground was perfect to explore nearby attractions and the campground was spacious in terms of the table/grill being far from the paved parking spot so ample room for a tent.
Cons: For site 095 specifically, it is located right next to the bathroom which may be a pro to some but a con to us. Numerous of individuals, adults and children, were too lazy to walk an extra 20 ft around our campsite and instead cut through multiple times a day and even throughout the night making it impossible to sleep in our rooftop tent. Additionally, at this site you can hear people's conversations late at night, not just your immediate neighbor, but like 5+ camp sites away word for word.

this was our first time camping at Joshua tree and snagged the last camp site a month out. I was kind of bummed at first because it wasn’t a campsite with the big rocks as the back drop but it actually turned out to be perfect! The campsite was close to the car but not on the road. It was nice and secluded. The bathrooms were clean! the very popular campsites were so congested with cars, rvs and people. We had a really nice experience and saw so much wildlife walk through our camp!

Extremely unique experience unlike any other RV campsite! Large campsites with grills and tables. Spectacular views of the desert, jumbo rocks & mountains. Limitless hiking opportunities through beautiful & unique rock formations and greenery. Nice restrooms. Unfortunately no dump station. Be prepared...no cellular service.

Tent camped here in mid-March. Weather was frosty and had some rain and snow flurries most of the time. One of my favorite places to camp. Campground was pretty empty (a lot of no-shows; most likely because of the weather).

Great spot. It was extremely windy so watch weather reports for high winds.

Beautiful campground and park. The site we stayed in was great for tent only camping. The rock outcrop provided a bit of shelter from the wind. The campground itself is nice to explore from and Skull Rock is not far along a trail that intersects with the campground.
The sites in the section I was in only allow for car parking -not RVs -although RVs fit in other sites on that loop.
Like all NPs, Joshua Tree could do with a few more rangers and other staff (not fewer) for additional programming. More presentations in the campground amphitheater and interpretive walks on weekdays would be a great addition.

We stayed in site 103. It had more room and privacy than most of the other sites in our area. We could walk into the rocks for exploration without getting in a car.
