The best camping near Niland with fishing

·

Fishing draws campers to Niland, where over 100 sites cater to anglers ready for desert solitude and shoreline casts. Expect average nightly rates around $18, with budget spots dipping to $15. Oasis Ranch (70 reviews) is the local favorite—think shady palms, easy water access, and quiet evenings. For something different, try Salton Sea Sanctuary (5 reviews) or Salton Ocotillo Dunes (4 reviews); both put you steps from the water and open desert. Most campsites allow campfires, pets, and provide toilets. When you’re not casting a line, stretch your legs on hiking trails, scramble up desert rocks, or spot migratory birds along the shore. You’ll find sites tucked behind palm groves, out on sandy flats, and within easy reach of the lake.

Salton Sea Nymphs is a future art project and roadside destination. By staying here, you will contributing to the project coming to life and projects to help remedy the sea. WHAT TO DO This is a great RV spot to explore the Salton Sea, stargaze, or crash for a night during your road trip. You can also ATV the heck out of the place (you'll see the path directly at the back of the property). You may tent camp, but there are days/nights where it can get very windy. Check the forecast. UPDATE: There is a recently installed fire pit to help you stay warm or cook up a feed. Be safe and have at it. PLEASE NOTE: Ground is very soft. I did have a friend drive an RV on it without issue, but just be aware. While this is currently a vacant lot, it is in short driving distance of gas stations, convenience stores, and a few restaurants.
