Anza-Borrego Desert State Park®
200 Palm Canyon Drive

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park® is one of the few places that allows you to camp almost anywhere. There is no fee for backcountry camping, and modest fees for our developed campgrounds. Borrego Palm Canyon offers group campsites, non-hookup sites, and full-hookup sites. More primitive areas for camping are scattered around the park. Check the park map for locations.

Primitive and Backcountry Camping

Anza-Borrego remains one of the few places in the country where open camping is permitted. With your help, we hope to keep it that way for many years to come. This year, all primitive and backcountry camping is free of charge. Please help us by following these guidelines:

  • Camp at least 100 feet away from water
  • Bring a metal container to hold your fire
  • Fires built on the ground are NOT permitted and violators will be cited
  • Park on the side of the road, so others may pass, but DO NOT trample vegetation or drive over geological formations
  • Keep a clean camp – take your trash home with you
