Feb. Camping

Hi guys,

I'm planning to take the family camping to Anza Borrego this month but can't find reservations on the weekend. Are there any 1st come 1st serve campgrounds you recommend? Any dispersed spots you like? I have a 4x4 truck but my brother doesn't. We're driving down from Ventura county so the northern part of the park might work best for us.

Thanks in advance.

Fish Creek Primitive is nice. Vault toilets and fire rings. Not in the north area but direct access to the canyon is a huge bonus. No shade either, it can get warm in the day, so make sure you have an ez-up or something like that. Just remember like everyone has already said, pack it pack it out and no ground fires in the park. Good luck!

Where are there toilets on Fish Creek?

At the primitive camp, just as you're entering the canyon, its up on a ridge on the left side of the wash.

That is hilarious to me. I have been there so many times and never knew that area was there. 😀
