Just beautiful - we have a 19 ft trailer and ended up in a pretty sloped site which wasn’t ideal, but there are other flat sites we’ll try next time if we go back. Grounds were nicely tended to and lots of wildlife were around. Can’t beat the views, especially the higher up the mountain you go. Nice trails around the campground. They h... more

Regardless of the completely crumbling roads, absence of signage, extremely un-level sites, and strange location, this campground is still one of our favorites. Rarely do you get such a beautiful camping experience bring right next to mature Joshua Trees in a quiet environment, close to town, but far enough away to feel like wilderness... more

I recommend this Campground.
It's not fancy.

Nature Center is very well put together.
Cathy the Center information person was most informative.

Good bird, rodent and plant action.

This was by far the worst experience we've ever had in our 30+ years of camping. We called the campground prior to making our reservation to be sure that our motor home would fit in the site and were told it would be no problem. With that information we made a reservation and drove 5 hrs from Phoenix to get there. When we arrived at c... more

It seems to be the most available of the Joshua Tree Campgrounds, which I guess means it's not the most desirable? The market speaks. It's not far from the town of Joshua Tree and a couple of general stores, although it doesn't feel civilized when you're out at the sites. Many of the sites are not level and otherwise require negotia... more

To clarify, the price reflects the Senior Pass my husband has for National Parks; the regular rate is 20$ per night. We paid 10 per night plus 5 for the dump fee, so 35 for 3 nights. The 5$ covers unlimited dump. The campsites are spacious, with fire pits for each one. There are not many trees that provide shade, so if you have a... more

Great spot to spend a few days. The views and hiking are top notch. No hook ups but does have a dump station but they charge extra even if camping here. :/ No entrance to the park but not a long drive. Most of the sites were very unlevel. In fact some of our neighbors had to move as the couldn’t get level. We had to raise some tir... more

This was a very nice spot! Joshua trees everywhere on the camp ground. Clean, quiet and nice staff. We used late checkin and could choose a great spot. Campground is remote and I would recommend some sort of GPS to find it. It is not exactly near the main entrance of the park. (30 min drive) It is located in the park though, but not on... more

Stayed here for 4 nights, starting Oct 10th, 2016, in a Airstream International 23D. The Good - Easy access off the main road, oddly through a residential area. While the roads within the campground were in rough shape, there were no major issues. - On-site dump station, at a cost. $5. - Gorgeous Joshua Trees everywhere! Fantasti... more

I stayed in Jumbo Rocks in Joshua Tree (great campground!) in early May for three nights, and after I left, I stopped in Black Rock to use the Dump Station while heading down toward Palm Springs. This was the saddest little place I have seen in awhile. The roads are crumbling, narrow, and winding. The sites are tight and unlevel. Th... more
