Cold Weather Camping at Jumbo Rocks Campground with my Dog | Joshua Tree National Park
Hey friends,
My name is JC and this is a story about when I went camping in Joshua Tree National Park with my dog, Chai on November 1 - November 3, 2022.
Before this year's camping season officially ends, I wanted to squeeze in one last camping trip, and what better place to visit than the beautiful desert. We were here for two nights and three days.
This camping trip was a little special for us because we had no plans during the time we are here. No planned hikes, and no landmarks to try to visit. we came here strictly to recharge and appreciate the desert's stillness.
This is Chai’s third visit to a national park this year. Earlier this year we went to Yosemite, just last month we were at sequoia, and now we’re here.
We got to the campgrounds around 5:20pm with only 40 minutes of daylight to set up camp.
Luckily here in the desert, the nights are pretty bright under the moon.
Overall it was a great camping experience at this awesome campsite. I just wish I checked the weather leading up to the trip. Regardless I had the campsite booked and I was going to make it out rain or shine.
I'll definitely be back during the camping season in the warmer months.
For this trip, we stayed at Jumbo Rocks Campground, campsite # 77.

I plan to post more videos here on my outdoor adventures. Thanks for stopping by and watching this video.
With gratitude,
JC

This year in May I went to California and I visited Joshua Tree. I really loved tent camp in Jumbo Rocks. I stayed at #13. The sunset was amazing. Nice video!

Thank you so much for watching my video! Glad to hear that you had an awesome time in Joshua Tree!
You left me wanting more, keep posting! Your dog is so chill, she’s probably wondering why you guys are sleeping outside when there’s a warm bed at home lol

I live across the street from one of the entrances to the park. I think you hiked more than I have.... I know we take this place for granted but honestly, it all looks the same .....my yard is not much different.. I love your dog so cute. Early summer and fall are the best for camping, no cold for me. hug your puppy for me. Will subscribe cause you an amazing dog dad, take care from the desert.......

I love camping In Joshua Tree...A couple of tips... keep your tent zipped except when going in & out keeps, the snakes out & keep you little dog close there are a lot of hungry coyotes out there.

Hey man, great video! Really enjoyed the vibes. I’m looking to get more into camping with my dog, was curious what portable dog crate you used for Chai? Looks great, thanks in advance!

I just looked back at my reservation for this trip. My campsite was: 077, JUMBO ROCKS CAMPGROUND
I thought dogs weren't allowed on the rocks or trails to the rocks?
