Beautiful site, very private. There are two camp sites side by side but the area is wide enough to not be crowded. Camp site was nicely shaded and flat so it was easy to set up our tent. There were areas we could drive up and unpack the cars directly in to camp. The ad says no potable water but there is a hose with water which was convenient for other uses. Tubing was fun but we did find used fishing line wrapped around a branch near the bank. That was a little gross and dangerous. Definitely recommend river shoes. Our pups were happy running around and also enjoyed the water but there is a resident peacock that although gorgeous, does make a lot of noise. Our pups were curious so we had to keep an eye on them and make sure they stayed close to camp. At night, Mr. Peacock likes to perch on a tree near the restrooms so be prepared for the giant bird silhouette looming over you! It's beautiful! There were a lot of sounds at night, machines, vehicles, and wildlife. If you're a light sleeper, may not be easy to ignore but otherwise it was very relaxing. Julian was quick to respond to any questions. This is definitely our new favorite camp spot.

The site's description is precisely what it is! It is peaceful and isolated. Plus, there were trees that provided shade for us. The weather was perfect when we went. Please check the weather and prepare for a windy stay. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

It was an excellent place for group camping! The camp had great amenities such as a portal toilet (spotless!), tables and stools, water (not for drinking), and trash bins. Since the weather was projected to be very windy, it wasn’t! Which I was very grateful for! I would say the two campsites are not far apart. For reference, the space between the two campsites is four trucks parked next to each other. Since I came with a big group, I got both campsites for more privacy. It was only 35-40 minutes from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Overall, the campsite was perfect!

Great clean place with a wonderful host, the pond is nice I would bring a float if you want to get in but wash yourself off with the hose if you do, peacock was really cool and the place was easy to get to.

My friends and I had a wonderful time camping at this site. It has an intimate, secluded feel that makes it seem like it’s just you and the stunning natural surroundings. Although we weren’t able to have a campfire the first night due to strong winds, we enjoyed a fantastic one the following evening. Firewood is available for a very reasonable price and lasted much longer than we expected. The site is also conveniently located within a short drive to Anza-Borrego, making it easy to access for our day hikes. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

The views were absolutely stunning! Absolutely no complaints. Super easy directions and perfect place to set up! I suggest bringing an inner tube or something to float on in the pond as this was easily my favorite part of the trip. Very clean and the property was awesome to explore. Plus there’s a gorgeous peacock that we loved to go search for as it is a bit shy but definitely lets you know it’s there! 100% recommend this sweet spot. Will be coming back!

This tent camp option, only 2hrs from San Diego, was exceptional! It was peaceful & serene with the pond! Best part was that there was a bathroom (port-a-potty), but serviced and clean for its purpose of use. Also, the fire pit was massive and awesome with numerous seating options at the West campsite. We even had a neighbor at the East campsite and they created privacy for themselves with the way they parked their vehicles, but I still feel as though the campsite was a decent enough distance away from us that we weren’t bothered at all. It’s located on a bunch of farm land so if you are looking for a lot to do right nearby your campsite…this may not be it. But, if you want to just chill and enjoy the outdoors, this was perfect! Also, Julian was very helpful in providing the proper details needed to arrive and was helpful and responsive if I had any questions. Thank you!

100% check the weather beforehand especially for wind.
Pond was cool, there are definitely fish in it caught 3 bass and a catfish. The freeway was a bit loud at night but other than that was really cool experience.
Fire pit was large, plenty of space for many chairs to sit around.
Porta potty was clean.
Overall was a fun experience.

Nice, quiet spot despite being close to the highway. Barebones site, but just what I was looking for as a quick, one night stop. Good communication with Julian.

My wife and I have been camping at/near The Salton Sea for many years. Fast forward to 2025...we now have a three year old, a one year old and a camper.
Very happy with our stay. Julian was very communicative and the property was great. Easy to find, clearly marked and had no trouble accessing the site. The property is surrounded by a working farm, my kids loved roaming up and down the road playing with the dirt. Felt very safe on the property. We did not have any neighbors during our stay, but feel like the other site is far enough removed that we would have enjoyed it had we did.
We were able to get out and visit the State Park, took about an hour to get there. Drove down and had lunch at The Ski Inn in Bombay Beach before making it back to the campsite for the night. So, all are very accessible from this property.
Really appreciate staying here, we hope to be back soon!
