Mecca Beach Campground — Salton Sea State Recreation Area

Salton Sea is such an interesting place. A bird haven for migrating birds - be sure to visit the Sonny Bono Refuge closeby. This camp had $20 basic tent sites, some full hookup sites available- paved, some sites along beach. One of the 2 loops were closed. Showers - tho no hot water left when I got to them and most bathrooms boarded up and in disrepair. Ample trash and recycling bins and water. Friendly host and camp wood available at $10 a pop. Check to see if sites are reserved at kiosk if you are coming without reservations.

Full hook up. California State Park… so safe. The lake is improving but not safe yet. Fishing has Improved. There are three separate campgrounds in this park. Flies can be a problem but not this time because of wind. View is outstanding

Arrived after dark (5/8/21). Six big RVs and one tenter in this big campground. Trees provide shade; some sites have ramadas. Water available throughout. The beach has a moonscape quality. Sunrise over the lake lovely. Trains go by during the night (tracks are very close by), but didn't bother me. I'll return to spend a few days.
