Feb. Camping

[u/Metal-Salt]

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.

No reservations needed! Try Blair Valley. There’s a restroom just as you enter, but otherwise you’re on your own to pack it out.

I’d drive in a decent distance and don’t go for the low hanging fruit sites right at the entrance where it’ll be busier.

Some sites have fire rings, but you’ll have to bring your own if you don’t grab one of those sites. If you can, I’d suggest Little Blair Valley which may require AWD in some spots. I’ve seen sedans make it, but that’s taking a chance.

Another benefit for OP with Blair Valley is easy trips to the pictographs and Marshall South's house, both easy hikes.
