Great free camping spot

There are no bathrooms or water here, but you have cell service and a convenience store very close by. This is a great spot to find a free camping site and still be somewhat in your own seclusion. The sky is really nice here at night. You can see the freeway a bit of a distance out from this location and it takes about 45mins or so get back into Joshua tree National park from here. The fire pits are in the ground so you might have to rebuild the walls above ground if they’ve been knocked down. Overall a very cool spot to check out that’s right outside of Joshua tree National park with beautiful sunset views. This is BLM land

Favorite campsite by far

From the very first camping trip to the most recent, jumbo rocks has always been such a great experience. I love that it is out in an area with no cell service, and that it is far enough away from the city to enjoy amazing night skies. The bathrooms on site make it easy to camp with kids, and the landscape makes it so much fun to explore. It is still definitely my favorite campground up to date. Be sure to take plenty of water and check for weather conditions, when it’s cold its freezing, when it’s hot it’s HOT. There is no running water or electricity and cell service will be non-existent
