Overnight Car Camping and Rock Climbing in Joshua Tree
Details
📍 Location: Jumbo Rocks Campground, Joshua Tree National Park, CA
Hey adventurers! 🌵🧗🥾
We’re heading out to one of Joshua Tree’s most iconic spots — Jumbo Rocks Campground — for a weekend of rock climbing, hiking, and car camping under the stars!
Whether you’re here to send some boulder problems, explore the trails, or simply kick back at camp and soak in the desert vibes, all are welcome!
🧗 FOR THE CLIMBERS
Jumbo Rocks is a climber’s playground! We’d especially love to have fellow climbers join us and share the stoke. If you’re into bouldering or trad/sport routes in the park, come hang and climb with us! This is a casual, fun outing — no pressure, just good vibes and good sends.
🥾 FOR THE HIKERS
Joshua Tree has incredible trails weaving through giant boulder formations and otherworldly desert landscapes. Lace up and explore at your own pace!
🚗 FOR THE CAR CAMPERS
Set up your home base at Jumbo Rocks and enjoy cozy campfire nights beneath a jaw-dropping starry sky.
💰 CAMPING CONTRIBUTION: $5 per person
Since we need to book the campground in advance, we’re asking each participant to chip in $5. Here’s the breakdown of how it’ll be used:
∙ First, campground fees get covered
∙ Whatever’s left over goes toward firewood 🪵
∙ If there’s still a little extra — snacks for everyone! 🍫🥜
This is not for profit — every dollar goes right back into making the trip great for all of us.
I’ll confirm in comments when there’s space to book, so everyone’s can send their contribution directly to me.
We try to avoid cancellation but If in case, there’a $10 cancellation fee, we split between everyone and refund you the rest.
NEED AT LEAST 6 CONFIRMED MEMBERS FOR EVENT TO GET TRIGGERED!
