Camping Reservations

Camping and Day-Use at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

Click here to reserve a campsite in the Park or call Reserve America at (800) 444-7275.

Developed Campgrounds: Camping fees will be charged at Borrego Palm Canyon, Tamarisk Grove, Bow Willow, and Vern Whitaker Horse Camp.

Primitive and Back Country Camping: Anza-Borrego remains one of the few places in the country where open camping is permitted. With your help, we hope to keep it that way for many years to come. All primitive and backcountry camping is free of charge. 

Please help us by following these guidelines:

  • Camp at least 100 feet away from water.
  • Bring a metal container to hold your fire. Fires built on the ground are NOT permitted and violators will be cited.
  • Park on the side of the road, so others may pass, but please do not trample vegetation or drive over geological formations.
  • Pack it in, pack it out. Take your trash home with you.

Day-Use: The fee for day use is now collected ONLY at Borrego Palm Canyon, Tamarisk Grove and the Vern Whitaker Horse Camp. The fee is $6.00 per vehicle.
