What others are saying about this campground
Jumbo Rocks Campground is a unique camping spot located in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park. It is surrounded by towering mega-boulders and Joshua trees, creating a surrealistic atmosphere. The campground is 20 miles from the park entrance and is mostly dry camping, minimizing environmental impact. The sites are shallow, so RVs with slides on the driver side risk getting them hit by passing cars. Most of the sites are suitable for small rigs and tent campers, but there are also pull-throughs that line the main campground access road for larger rigs. The campground is usually busy and fills up quickly, so it is best to arrive early if you have a larger rig. There is no cell service and no dump stations close by, so make sure you come with plenty of water and empty tanks. The night sky is dark and unobstructed, and there is an easy hike that leaves from the middle of the campground.

From The Campground
In the heart of Joshua Tree National Park and just a short hike from Skull Rock, Jumbo Rocks Campground weaves through a valley of ginormous boulder piles to provide the classic J-Tree camping experience. All of the campground’s 124 tent and RV sites come with picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilet access, though there are no services or potable water, so you’ll want to bring an ample water supply and plan to refill at the drinking water spigots at park entrances. Although the surrounding rocks provide some morning and evening relief from the sun, a sun shade is smart to bring.
