Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center

Steve Pearl

I camped here for two nights in April. Great campsite’s, very clean and right on the edge of the desert. Very nice sidewalk path that leads to the visitor center from the campsite’s and take in the desert experience. Very hot from May through September as you would expect in the desert. Also can be very windy so practice setting up your tent before you come if you’re new to this.

Stopped here on the way through the desert and decided to go on a hike. Visitors center recommended the Slots and the Palm Canyon trail. The Palm canyon trail was pretty awesome to see all the Palms at the Oasis. Almost all of the trees in the canyon were uprooted during a heavy rain and some of the others due to fire. It was a little unexpected to see so many of them at the end of the trail. The trail is out in the open during the beginning so best to go early morning during the summer. The Slots were pretty neat as well and we did them later in the afternoon as the high canyon walls give a bit of shade during the day. Some of the trail is a little tight and can be a bit of a squeeze. The wind coming through the slots was awesome as it was over 100 degrees. There are also many wind caves towards the end of the trail that look like beehives from the distance. Overall it was such a great experience we decided to rent a campground and stay the night to look at the stars. Campground was clean and had clean showers and bathrooms. I will definitely go back here when looking for a place to camp on the West Coast.

Desert state park is a great place if you want to chill in those mai. Resprts and eat at the ceteral market or if you wish to drive a lot. But the only way to explore it all is by a dirt car like jeep or ram using which you can go in muddy roads since the place is all about off road experience. Talking about visitor center, you will get most amazing people here , who are ready to help.. Heat is pretty high, be careful and get the ryt attire.

This is a cute park nature center surrounded by a beautiful garden with labeled native plants. Inside were informative dioramas, a movie theater and a very nice gift shop. It was hot out and they let us watch a couple of nature movies
