I would give this 5 but the bathrooms need to be cleaned more than once a day. Especially during covid. And no vent in bathrooms. Also, trash piled up so you couldnt put in dumpster. Of course, the park is stunning.

Site 78 was the best! Amazing campground. Dog friendly. Sound travels so be courteous of your neighbors. A coyote or fox came into our site at night. Be sure to lock up food. Lots to explore at the campground.

Awesome campground, we had a secluded spot and lots of room for multiple tents and a canopy. Spots come with a picnic table, grill, and fire pit w/ grate. Amazing sunset and sunrise views!

My trip was from Nov 11th to Nov 13th. I was unable to book 2 nights at Jumbo Rocks Campground so I split my visit with Indian Cove. Since it was Veterans Day admission into Joshua Tree was free. Normally youd have to pay to get into the park on top of what you paid for the campsite. Please take note of that before complaining that they tacked on money to the price. There was no reception at the campsite I stayed at (98). The site had a fire ring with grilling grate attached, a sturdy concrete picnic table that could seat 8 people, and a separate grilling area. There were minimal rocks and it was pretty flat. Bathrooms were vault style with plenty of TP. No lighting during the night so bring a lamp. No sink to wash your hands so wipes is recommended. There were a few trails within the campground and plenty of places to walk around to take in the view. I camped with my pup and he loved it. I highly recommend you visit and be prepared for cold desert temps. Dog friendly and dont be alarmed by the desert mice at night. Dont leave food out for them and close your tent zippers to prevent them from going into your tent.

I stayed here for one night and really likes it. Every campsite is numbered along their picnic table and firepit.Theres a lot of restrooms around the campground and not too far apart

I already added photos.If love to spend some time here. One night wasnt enough. Such a beautiful place. Great sunrise. Would recommend Jumbo Rocks Campground!

Ive never been camping before. And I just recently came to jumbo rocks with a group of my friends. I loved it ! It was extremely windy though. Other than that I loved the experience !!

Our favorite campground to go to whether it’s just for a day trip or overnight camping! Sunrise and sunset are beautiful from the top of any rock here.

Very unique campground settled among big rocks n small bushes. There is no running water here anywhere in the park. One star is because of the rats in the area. At nighttime, rats come out from hiding and run around, climb on picnic benches. So, its really hard to keep food outside the car or even cook any food. You have to constantly watch out for rats.

So much fun to hike around this place. Definitely recommend jumbo rocks

Really unique campground. Fun scrambling around on the rocks and watching the sunset. No campfires even in fire rings at this time. Great star views, dark skys

Actually I did not like it. Too popular and too many kids running around with flashlights shining them on the rocks all night - because there are beautiful rocks everywhere. Im not against children, but parents apparently no longer teach proper flashlight courtesy. As in, dont shine them in other peoples campsites and stare, dont wake people up by shining a light on their tents, etc. I dont go camping to be around so many people who are so obviously new to camping. Nothing untoward however. You will probably like it if you want to let your brats run free, and it and the whole park really are 5 worthy in every other sense.

Its one of the best campgrounds in the park, the most interesting senic points are around the campground.

One of the most amazing places to camp. Once saw a blue moon. It was massive.

Beautiful campground with lots to explore. An older couple, who apparently live there, approached us on Halloween at 1am for the first time. We were talking by the fire and playing music on the lowest setting. They told us that we were violating quiet hours, which we were not aware of, and that they had been waiting since 10pm to tell us. The lady threatened to call law enforcement without hearing a word from us. The man told us that he would wait for us to turn off the speaker in front of him.I don’t know if these people are officially associated with the campground but they should not be allowed to harass and threaten other campers. We were spoken to like high schoolers breaking the law. It ruined our night.

We stayed in site 18, it was back against some Jumbo Rocks :) it was good sized and not on top of the next site, as some sites were. The scenery was beautiful and there was lots of good hikes nearby. The restrooms were very clean and well stocked.

Before 5pm, 30 dollars for entrance. 20 dollars per night inJumbo rocks. No internet. No place to wash. Lots of bees.

There appear to be some really nice campsites here.

Spacious and very clean campground. Grill, fire ring with grill, and picnic table at all campsites. Bathroom was clean with pit toilet.Make sure you find a campsite that will be shaded when the sun is rising, or your tent will get very hot and very fast. Fell asleep to the sound of the coyotes howling.

Good except for those campers that play loud house music

Great place to camp. Sites are a little small but with all the boulders around we could barely tell we had neighbors. They over presentations on Friday and Saturday evenings which we hope to attend next time we visit. We will definitely stay here anytime we’re not back country camping in JTNP.

Its like the name which describes it, full of jumbo size rocks bigger than a house. Fascinating for shapes upon which setting or rising sunlight can create interesting shapes and shadows.

Lovely camp spot, but quite close together a mix of campers and rvers. But your firewood and bring water,and book your camp spot first. Go,hike,enjoy the builders and please leave no trace!

Visited the campsite in mid September 2018 and it was almost empty. So many beautiful campsites with the best views you could hope for. It seems like during high season the sites could be a little crowded but I’m sure that would be fine because the campers here are so very friendly. You can just hike out from your site into the beautiful Joshua tree wilderness. The nights here are absolutely stunning if you can bring a star camera.

I went for starry night shots but it was during a full moon. It was still pretty rad! Great place to camp for sure!

Beautiful. Love camping in the rocks!

A lot of bees, but still a good place to visit.

It’s amazingly peaceful here.I had two coyotes visiting my camp site but all the food was locked away. I found the spider under my sleeping bag which I used on the table as I didn’t setup my tent.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Reserve early to get a campground but try to get one nestled in the rocks to protect you from the wind and elements. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets.the rocks are sharp and unfriendly to those are careless

Serene, great hiking area.

I went to camp here and the stars looked so beautiful. When I was climbing the rocks I stopped for a minute and the view was perfect. The bathroom situation was not good it smelled really bad otherwise everything was great.

This is a good place to view the stars and actually see the Milky Way. Lots of camp spots that were completely booked this holiday weekend. Unfortunately, due to the crowds, lots of people noise and lots lights. The best place to see the stars is on the East end of the park that is very, very dark. Lots of photographers doing night shots of stars and, because of the new moon, the Milky Way. You can see barely see the moon in the attached pictures that I took with my phone.

Pretty, but extremely crowded. Not my thing at this point in my life. Campsites are really close together and people seem to put the largest RV into the smallest spots.

Wonderful campground. Joshua tree NP has no running water or showers available, no general store. Pack accordingly! Bring lots of water. Outhouses are cleaned daily. Dumpster in campground. Only animal you have to worry about is the squirrels getting in to trash.Sites are small as they are nestled in between the giant rocks. Bring a canopy there are no trees. In this campground there is so much to explore by walking out into the rocks and climbing. Me and my three year old climbed for hours!

This camp ground was just perfect! theres enough sites to pick the perfect one for all your needs! The wild life(coyotes) just comes alive with the night sky! Once youve gone on the camp hikes you can spend the rest of the day exploring your own back yard and be back in time for dinner! The camp sites range in sizes but all have a wonderful fire pit and charcoal stove we brought a gass one for convenience and clean up! Well be staying again soon!

Great campsites, in the middle of the jumbo rock bouldering area. Some sites are more secluded than others. Pit toilets only, no running water.

Great location in the park and lots of wildlife around.

Not the best campground in Joshua tree, but its still Joshua tree. Sternly beautiful and yet harsh at the same time.

Great campground, youll want to get there pretty early in the morning for a spot when its first come first serve season.

We travelled to Joshua tree in July 2016. The daytime was hot , so we arrived in the late afternoon und left in the morning. Stay under the stars (25 ft. RV), absolutely quiet, the view unbelievable, coyotes howling at night, the place is magic. There is lots of space to the next camp/RV site. Bathrooms very simple (and a bit to walk).

Better than expected. We made reservations online a while back - had to pick 3 different sites for the planned 7 day visit. All the sites were good - altho more spread out would have been better. We ended up leaving 2 days early since an approaching storm was bringing snow. But we love Joshua Tree and will be back.

Fun camp ground. Would recommend arrive early in the morning to get a spot

Beautiful campsites, great for taking pictures of the stars

Peaceful and quiet. Not too busy since it is summer.

Great campground, fun to be in between and explore all the huge rocks!

Awesome place to camp really enjoyed with family

Big Rock Heaven

Cool place. Some sites are close together and others have boulders in between for privacy. Couldnt believe the bathroom only had 1 stall each....saw bunnies everywhere and it was super windy. One tent almost blew away.

Such a beautiful campsite and although I went during Thanksgiving when it rained and snowed quite a bit, it was still an amazing spot. The parking is pretty tight, especially in some of the back sites, but its definitely worth the price of admission which is quite low to begin with. Will be back for the sunshine, for sure.

One of our favorite places to visit in either the spring or summer. They dont have any services including water so you must come prepared. Lots of campers. The sites are between the rocks so you can hike directly from your campsite, LOVE it here!

Joshua Tree National Park is a photographers dream!! Especially Jumbo Rocks! We go here for adventurous engagement sessions and the couples are blown away by their images - its easy to see why! Photos by Bree and Stephen Photography

Instead of visiting the regular SoCal tourism spots, for the peace and tranquility...its Joshua Tree. Weekends were made for getaways outside of all the LA hubbub. Youve never seen a brighter moon and starrier nights in SoCal like you would at Joshua Tree. Dont feed the rabbits. But theyre sooo cute ...if ya gotta carrot...youre gonna have to give up one or two. Ya didnt hear from me though. Remember, your internet isnt gonna work here. So rough it out and feel the burn of destressing from Social Media for a few days. Youll thank me later. Bring plenty of wood. There are grills and clean restrooms.

Beautiful stargazing and sunshine!

Sites look Awsome. Im booking tonight

Gorgeous but you better be up for extreme weather

Great views. Awesome sunrises and sunsets. Sky full of stars. Milky way almost horizon to horizon.

Great place to spend some days between and on top of impressive rocks. But during the weekend it is quite crowded, noisy and fully occupied. Try to arrive during weekdays or on Sunday.

Great location

Nice spot, relatively central in the park/campgrounds. Every site has a fire pit, picnic table and grill. Im not sure how all of the other sites are, but this one did get a little rowdy with neighbors drinking, etc. they settled down during quiet hours. Theres no water at the site, but you can bring and fill up containers at the entrance to the park. It was very full on the weekend, so go as early as possible and ask around for people leaving that day.

Best place to watch the sunset in Joshua Tree! Lots of spots to scramble up the rocks for a better view. You can park along the road if youre not camping here.

Amazing rocks .I really liked this campground and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Joshua Tree National Park.

If you are camping at Joshua Tree, Jumbo Rocks is the place to go. You are surrounded by enormous boulders. If you climb them, its the perfect spot to either watch the sunrise or sunset.

Nice getaway.

Excellent place to stop and explore! Generator hours are limited to allow cooking during normal meal times and peace through the rest of the day and night! Clean and maintained sites!

This campground fills up fast. Reserve well in advance

This place is a great place to camp. The sunset from this campground was the most vibrant and most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my life. The camp site we had was awesome. It was a little tucked away and had a path through some jumbo rocks to a perfect landing to watch the sunset. What checked out quite a few sites before we picked ours. There are plenty with little semi private nooks and shrubbery to give some separation between sites. Some sites, however, are completely exposed. I would go back.

Fun campground, you wont be lonely. Great access to the rocks and sunset views.

Great camping area, nice scenery for photography. I believe it was a 7 dollar entrance fee for the national park and then 15 a night to rent a camping space.Woke up early to get some sunrise shots and did a short hike afterwards. Great spot, will definitely come again.

Great campground! Beautiful scenery, lots of jumbo rocks and some trailheads close enough that we could walk to from campsite. Each site had a fire pit so that was a nice bonus. Multiple vault bathrooms, trash and recycable bins available throughout the campground.

Total silence, we loved it here

Weve spent a great night with our 31ft RV at Jumbo Rocks 2nd week of August 2019. We got there in the later afternoon enjoyed the sunset on a rock and had a glance at the wonderful stars. The place wasnt too busy. It is a good way to start your trails in the next morning early. Ryan mountain trail is close by. Joshua Tree is Paradise

Sites are first-come-first-serve so get there as early as you can, this is a fantastic campground with awesome NPS (our neighbors decided to stay up to the wee hours playing loud music, drinking, trashing their campsite and eventually performing their own impromptu rap battles which btw is fine- you are young, you like to party, you do you boo- but in the AM they woke up to 3 NPS and a couple rangers who calmly but firmly required all involved to clean up their camp site while NPS watched. Thank you National Park Service!) And absolutely stunning sunsets. Bring plenty of water and bask in the beauty of Joshua Tree!

Awesome campground in one of the most beautiful places in America.

We have camped here 8 years in a row and its awesome every time!! Well maintained, awesome sites. Clean bathrooms. Never had a problem.

Great campground with great views. Location is great, campground is right next to the Skull Rock trail. This is a pretty busy campground, but the local scenery is breathtaking. There are lots of large rocks, fun to climb. Be sure to watch for snakes and scorpions. As always, clean up your trash to keep Joshua Tree nice and clean for everybody.

Jumbo Rocks Campground is the ultimate, endless playground of boulders and rocks to hike and climb around on. Easy access to Skull Rock and plenty of trails to additional hiking & climbing areas.

Excellent spot to camp, campsites are fairly private and close to a number of walks in Joshua Tree National Monument.

How I can explain this place! It was awesome moment in my life.. I really recommend this campground!!

Favorite camp ground at Joshua Tree. So much to explore right behind you and it’s pretty easy to climb for all ages and fitness levels. A great spot for viewing a sunset or sunrise as well.

Loved it. Theres many trails to walk, and many sites to visit. From the mines trails to the Black water dam. Theres so much to do!! But its also a very peaceful and relaxing campsite. Stores are about 20- 30 minutes from campsites depending on what side you got in.

Great place to camp in Joshua Tree Park among the huge rocks. More than 100 campsites. Clean restrooms and trash bins.

Beautiful setting, bathrooms just ok, at least they have them. Reasonable price for camping. Double whammy though to pay for camping PLUS pay to enter the area, paying for camping and entrance fees make the price for a primative campsite unreasonable

Love Joshua tree national park!

Great camp sites - good facilities - good signage - amazing rocks to explore - ranger talk at 8:00 pm are fun - amazing sunsets

This campground is far from the city, zero reception and has great trails with fun sights to see including Skull Rock and Face Rock.

Easy to scramble up the rocks, safely. Great views at -set.

Jumbo Rocks is one of the most amazing places I have ever been, both for the rocks and the dark sky rating. Perfect for long exposure photography and / or tracking photography. There are many a nebula and other interesting features waiting to be seen.

First time there! Loved it and it changed my mind about the beauty of the desert incredible breath taking scenery. Jumbo Rock is safe, fun to climb and accessible. Highly recommended. Make sure to make reservations in advanced!

Kids loved scrambling up rocks all over the campground. Rocks look smooth from afar but theyre really a pebbled granite, kind of rough on the hands. Easy trail walk to Skull Rock. No water whatsoever--showers, sinks, spouts, anything. Chemical toilets were fine.

My favourite!!! Just can’t explain how wonderful it was. Only problem was the noisy neighbours

Outstanding. Arrive early, dont be discouraged. Great for kids.

Another really interesting rock formation in Joshua Tree.#travelformortals

This is where you want to pitch your tent. Stay away from Hidden Valley.

Numerous campsites, but enough space to be insulated from neighboring campers. Fire pit and grill at each site. Pay at the board, only $15 for a great experience

The weather was great, our hike was a bit long but fun. Of course the rock climbing was the best part.

Beautiful, loved how they fit the sites between the rock formations. No power, pit toilets, no water. Worth it.

Great place.

Plenty of sites with good enough privacy and the best place to see the milky way on a new moon night around LA. Worth the stay.

The place doesnt have signs or enough maps at every turn showing You are here. Remember no signals / reception of cellphone!!. You highly depend on their paper maps but it wastes all the day matching their given map with road turns, and sun goes down without you having eaten or enjoyed, taken pics etc.There are hardly any professional road guidance boards as expected.!I got off car and took some pics while sun was already down, spent whole day couldnt find the other team members vehicles. Food was within their vehicle. Kids jnbmy car were super hungry, we bought good for them. The whole family picnic plan got scrambled.

Awesome! Can’t wait to go back!
