There is firewood available for purchase from the campground host ($10 a bundle). Great location, wonderful hiking opportunities right from the campground. Short drive to the local store and restaurants. The campsites are pretty spacious, and usually a pretty quiet campground. Not a lot of loud late night campers. If get a site in the meadow loop you can hear the frogs in the distance. It is usually windy so be prepared, but always have a wonderful time.

We stayed in the Meadow Loop which was beautiful! We had sites 5 and 9. 5 only allows two occupants…read morebut that was perfect for me. The toilets are vault toilets and that was NOT great. The smell inside was awful and I did occasionally smell it from the campground as well. I ended up using my emergency camping toilet all weekend as I almost threw up from the smell inside. No cell service, which wasn't horrible. It was kind of nice to unplug as we should when we camp. My friend had a difficult time backing into his spot with his trailer, as did several others around us. The roads and parking pads are outlined with an overkill of wood posts. My friend actually dented his truck on one, as did the new Airstream across from us. They were both under the allowed vehicle length. Other than those "issues", the campground was great. The views were spectacular and the short walk through the meadow to Big Laguna Lake was a great little excursion. I highly recommend.

Weather was perfect and the campground was ideal!!! Clean and well maintained helped to make our time this weekend worthwhile to truly appreciate and experience the Creations around us provided for our enjoyment but our Heavenly Father. Use GPS directions or you may pass the entrance. The entrance is right after the Pine Valley Cafe. Cellular reception is good in the mountains. I couldn't sleep the first night from all of the excitement so I sat alone in the middle of the field to gaze at the beautiful expanse of the heavens. Unbeknownst to me, that night a geomagnetic storm was creating amazing aurora borealis around the earth. Although my eye could not detect any hues or colors in the sky, my camera did and took some amazing photos!!! The next night I tried to take the same pictures and there were no hues, so I deduced that the night before must have been the Northern lights that the camera detected and recorded. At 6000' elevation I guess you can see incredible views of the sky!!!

This campground is spacious, clean, and well-equipped with firepits, picnic tables, decent restrooms with full working toilets/token showers, and water faucets adjacent to or nearby campsites. The campsites have a good amount of shade and the way they're situated provide seclusion. For hikers, it's perfect for accessible trails. There's a mini waterfall for some water fun. And lastly during my stay, an onsite Park Staff drove around the campsite periodically. I'm not sure if it's a routine thing but it was nice to see. All in all, this place is a gem for an overall peaceful camping experience.

Saw a few wild turkeys and birds on the Thursday night in October when I was there. It was mostly easy to find. The camp rangers gave us the rundown as soon as we entered around rules and regulations including with our dog. Finding our actual camp site was a bit tricky but if you keep driving you'll eventually find your spot. There are a few mini trails that you can wonder off on. I found myself spending about a hour at most on most of them. Hope you enjoy your time here and reconnecting with nature / ancestors. Please clean up after yourself afterwards

This place fills up fast but we booked several months out and were able to choose our campsites…read morebased on proximity to the dumpsters, bathrooms, and even based on whether the sites had shade. We reserved campsites 89 and 90. Campsites were about $37 per night, after the reservation fee, and could fit a maximum of eight people in two tents. Several of us had car set-ups and when we called the reservation office, they confirmed that sleeping in the car wouldn't count towards the two tent limit. Each site also has two dedicated parking spots. If you have additional cars, it'll be $6 per car/night and there's overflow parking scattered around the campground. Quiet hours start at 10PM and all campfires must be out (no embers) by 11PM. The bathrooms were fine, considering this was a campground. Showers are coin-operated and you can get 4 minutes for 50 cents. Make sure to exchange your cash at the ranger station before the sun sets! From my friend group, I heard mixed reviews on the showers. It seemed like the girl's side had poor water pressure and usually was cold. But both times I showered, I had decent pressure and the water eventually turned warm. There's also potable water throughout the campground, with a specific spout with filtered water (for taste). Our campsites were pretty great especially site 90. It's flat and right under a huge tree so it was the perfect spot to hang out and escape the sun. For tents, the ground was kind of rocky so make sure to bring a pad or air mattress if you can. Each site comes with a table and a fire pit. For firewood, you have to purchase from the campground because they don't want you to accidentally introduce any invasive species. Overall, great campsite with decent bathrooms! We didn't get a chance to explore the campground and the trails around it so I would love to come back one day. Oh and dogs are allowed as long as they're on a leash!

First time at this campground! It's been a while since I've been camping, but this campground seems…read moreto be much nicer compared to what I remember from campgrounds I've been to in the past. The bathrooms were clean and fully stocked with toilet paper and free tampons on the women's side. There were 2 men's and 2 women's showers at the bathroom closest to our site. One of the women's showers didn't have the best water pressure and sprayed more of a mist...but the other was fine. Neither appeared to have warm water, but it wasn't freezing either, so it was bearable. We heard the men's showers did have warm water though. Showers were 50 cents for 4 minutes, and then you could add additional quarters to add on 2 minutes each. There were spigots and bottle refill stations too near the campsites. I'd probably avoid the sites right next to the restrooms unless you want to hear toilets flushing, the loud hand dryer, and foot traffic throughout the night.  There were plenty of trees so most of the campsites around us at least had at least some shade during the daytime. The only issue I really noticed was that some campgrounds were pretty close together so you will probably hear noise from neighboring sites. There was plenty of parking too, but these were also close to the sites, so one night we heard the sound of cars constantly locking throughout the night. Not the biggest issue though and you should probably bring earplugs while camping if you're a light sleeper. Overall, these campgrounds are nicer than a lot of other ones I've been there where you have to drive into town to shower. The tradeoff though is that with the nicer facilities and proximity to neighboring sites, it doesn't feel as remote and sort of feels like you're one step away from civilization. So maybe not the best place to camp if you're looking for a more true camping experience.

Our campsite was a nice layout, we had our picnic table right near where the RV got parked. I saw some had the table more off to the side in some bushes. Multiple hiking trails started at different points around the campsite. Stars were gorgeous at night!!

If you enjoy dark sky or full moon, Anza- Borrego Desert State Park is the place to go!…read moreLast June, we ventured to Borrego Palm Canyon Campground for camping, expecting a dark sky and starry night but instead encountered a full moon that turned the desert into a magical scene. The moonlight created an almost mystical atmosphere, making the desert feel like another planet. We set up our tent beside a stone ramada with a table and fireplace. The cleanest toilet we've ever seen was just steps away, which was a luxurious touch. Since it wasn't peak season, typically from March to April when wildflowers are in bloom and again from autumn onward, the park was quieter. We checked in with the DIY machine at the entrance of the campground, and friendly ranchers were around to offer help if needed. One rancher suggested that if we wanted to hike, we should start early and finish by 8:30am before the temperatures began to rise. ( Just a tip: download a campsite map beforehand because there's no internet service in the park) The desert, lit up by the moon, looked like something from another world. Rugged rock formations and the wide open space felt never ending, and with the moonlight highlighting the cool details of the landscape. The desert was so quiet and empty, It felt like the world had melted away, leaving just us and the serene, mystical surroundings.. Next morning, the heat cut our hike short with our cat, and it was a bit of an ordeal. Cats can be more sensitive to the heat, and she had a breathing issue and gasping for air right after we started hiking. We had to quickly rushed back to the car to help her cool down. So just be aware if you plan to bring your pets along. Despite this, that night remained a magical mix of peace and wonder, a cherished experience that I'll never forget.

We arrived after dark but were quickly assisted by Josh and Allie, who expertly maneuvered us into our spot. (They saved the day!) We were also greeted by manager Jacob, who stopped by to check in as we were setting up. The next morning, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Jai, who was very welcoming and friendly. We were able to use amenities (just to name a few) like full hookups, very clean bathrooms and showers, and the pool and hot tub. We bought some supplies from the store, and also got to chat with Jacob and his wife Christine, who allowed us to take a peek at the pigs and ostrich "babies" out back. That afternoon, we participated in a pumpkin carving activity that was so thoughtfully prepared we were just blown away. The campground staff had provided tables, cutting instruments, music, food, and crafts for the kids- they even had battery operated tealights for us to light our pumpkins! The following morning, Dolly and Rich took us on a tour to the adjacent ranch to feed donkeys, horses, adult ostriches, llamas, and goats. They were so friendly and sweet to take the time to do this! We really appreciated the late check out that was available, as packing up can be a mission. I would have loved to stay longer, but alas we had to get back to work. I cannot say enough about this campground and how amazing it is- it is SO quiet, clean, and safe-feeling. The decor is adorable, and the staff and ownership are really top-notch. It is very family oriented- no loud music and parties to keep you up all night. I am afraid we have been a little spoiled by this experience- not sure anyplace else will live up to this one!
