Anza-Borrego Exploration: A Guide to Camping in the Desert
LEAD PARAGRAPH
When you think of camping, do you typically envision tents, grass, oak trees and bears (oh my!)? After spending the weekend camping in the vast Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, my notion of camping expanded tremendously. Let me set the stage by laying out just a few of the splendors you’re likely to encounter on the trail: sand, wild flowers, palm trees, and, if you’re lucky, big horn sheep! If you stay the night, you’re sure to see some tents and campfires too, so no need to reframe your entire perception of camping. For a detailed account of this non-traditional campers’ wonderland, read on!

With miles and miles of open land, there’s nothing but small campfires to drown out the twinkling stars. Even the small town of Borrego Springs upholds a low lighting policy in the evenings to allow for optimal night sky admiration. With pure nightfall on it’s side, Anza-Borrego is the perfect backdrop for shooting stars and constellations.
Camp
Whether you choose to purchase a campsite or backpack into the wilderness, there are ample tent-pitching options. If you're a first-timer at Anza-Borrego, or a first time camper in general, it might be wise to purchase a site. For approximately $25 a night, you can set up shop at your very own designated spot, equipped with a picnic table, pergola, fire pit and nearby bathrooms/showers. Pretty luxurious, huh? Ease into camping with the convenience of running water! For any seasoned campers who are looking to veer off into nature and solitude, you'll find copious amounts of majestic tent space amidst the wild.
