About this place

Added by Juan Moreno

Minimal light pollution. Great night photography. First-come, first-served campsites.

Set your tent up next to a wall of tall boulders. This campground can offer a little shade, which is key especially during the warmer months. At the campground, there are 124 first-come, first-serve sites for $10 per night. Each campsite comes available with a picnic table and fire ring. The campground has pit toilets available.

Be sure to stay hydrated, not only because of the warm weather, but also the elevation of the campsite, which sits at 4,400 feet.

During the day, you should check out Cholla Cactus Gardens or head out for a night shoot at Arch Rock or the Wall Street Mill.

You can check for updates on the National Park Services website.

Loved Jumbo Rock
Campsites 1 and 2 are by far the best! It’s spacious and some fun rock formations to scramble on.

Jumbo Rocks
I really love Jumbo Rocks. Its near skull rock and there’s a trail inside the camp ground to skull rock. Awesome sunrises and sunsets.

Great campground with more open space but less rock formations right on the campsites.
I think Hidden Valley has better rock formations right by the campsites but Jumbo Rock is still a fantastic place to camp in Joshua ...

More secluded than Hidden Valley
Hidden Valley is usually thought of as the primo campgrounds, but I enjoyed staying here more. It was quieter and the sites are secluded. ...

Jumbo Rocks is like a playground for adults. So many rock formations to explore and climb that give you some fantastic views.

JTree is great since it doesn't take that long to get there (SoCal) and once you are there, it's a whole other world. Cold ...
