Jumbo Rocks Campground, Campground in Joshua Tree National Park, California, US
The campground contains 124 individual sites situated among massive granite boulders at an elevation of 4,380 feet in the Mojave Desert.
The formation of these granite rocks dates back millions of years when magma cooled beneath the surface and gradually exposed through erosion processes.
Rangers conduct educational programs at the campground amphitheater, teaching visitors about desert ecology and local Native American history every Friday and Saturday.
Visitors must bring their own water as the campground lacks drinking facilities, with the nearest potable water available at Oasis Visitor Center, 11 miles away.
The campground permits specific generator usage times during three daily windows: 7-9 AM, noon-2 PM, and 5-7 PM to maintain desert tranquility.
