The best camping near Danby Lake

Salt crystals and sunshine are all that is left of what was once Danby Lake, now known as Danby Dry Lake. Under the scorching sun of the Mojave Desert, Danby Dry Lake is just a short drive from Blythe, CA in San Bernardino County. Don't miss the chance to explore the vast desert ecosystem and unique geological formations formed as salt has precipitated the clay of the long-lost lakebed.

The ideal time to visit Danby Lake is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings warmth perfect for water activities, but also crowds. Winters can be harsh, with some facilities likely to be closed, so it's less recommended for visits.
