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.

I've been really excited for this trip, even picked up some recovery gear in case we get stuck in the sand. But tonight I looked at the 15 day forecast and it shows rain the days we have planned to go, hopefully we won't have to postpone it till next month.

Great idea! I was bailed out once when I was young with someone with gear.

And just so you know, if the NWS service backs off the rain reaching the desert, it could still be very windy there instead, so make sure to pay attention to the wind part of the forecast.
