Great camping experience this year. This February was warm. Highs ate 72 and lies were mid 40s. Our loop had bathrooms and showers, with electricity. Great desert hiking, and a walkway to take your furbabies.
Huge state park to explore with very friendly helpful staff. Nice to have full hookups at such a reasonable price. The only reason I gave it less than 5 stars is the RV campground is a bit run down. Many years of deferred maintenance. The asphalt road was falling apart. Sad to see really. In contrast the visitors center was very new and was wonderful - highly recommend a visit! We didnt use the bathrooms in the campground so dont know how they were. We camped at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Borrego Palm Canyon Campground in a Motorhome.
Absolutely beautiful views at this canyon campground!! Fire pits and picnic tables at each site. Nice bathrooms and showers, but no hot water...not sure if it normally works. We will be back!!
Great place to see the night sky! Staff was very helpful and friendly, I do recommend booking in advance or checking in at 2 pm sharp. We arrived on a Saturday at 3 pm and there was only one spot remaining! Also the camping ticket can be used as free parking throughout the day anywhere in Anza borrego!
Lovely campground: well kept friendly host and staff. The upper loop (higher numbers) looks right into canyon. Showers are hot if a little dark and dingy. It’s a CA state park so expect to pay for showers and a premium for camping. Can get windy
