Headquarters Campground — Salton Sea State Recreation Area
Reviewed Mar. 16, 2021

A hidden beauty

I don’t know why people don’t camp here more often. It wasn’t busy at all. Extremely well maintained, bathrooms/showers were always so clean. Beautiful views. Incredible drive through vineyards, citrus tree farms just to get to the Salton Sea. Such a cool place to stay and see.

Nice, paved short trail to the beach. Plenty of picnic tables everywhere for day use. Every camp site had their own pergola over the tables. Large fire rings. Water was always close by.

No complaints, only downfall I could see is if the train tracks bother you. Didn’t bother us at all but the tracks stay busy. Sometimes you’d catch a whiff of sulfur scent from the water but nothing intense. Other than that incredible.
