Within the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, Palo Verde Flats operates as a Bureau of Land Management campground in California's southeastern desert. This established camping area sits on BLM land managed by the El Centro Field Office, providing developed sites in the expansive dune system near Winterhaven.
The campground serves as a base for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts exploring the surrounding sand dunes. Campers can access nearby alternatives including Glamis Flats less than a mile east for a different dune camping experience.
