BLM's El Centro Field Office manages Keyhole Campground, an established site set within the Imperial Sand Dunes area near Roadrunner Campground, which sits just 0.2 miles to the south. No pets are permitted. The campground draws OHV-oriented visitors given its proximity to the dunes, and nearby sites like Gecko Campground suggest a cluster of BLM camping in this corridor. Campers should plan accordingly for a desert environment with limited shade and no developed amenities confirmed on record.
Description
