Within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Grapevine Canyon Road provides dispersed camping access managed by California Department of Parks and Recreation. This drive-in campground operates without designated sites, allowing campers to select their own spots along the road corridor.
The dispersed format means no water, restrooms, or electrical hookups are available on-site. Campers must bring all necessary supplies and pack out all waste. For those planning extended stays in the region, campgrounds near Ranchita offer additional options with varying amenity levels throughout the surrounding desert landscape.
