Dispersed camping within Anza-Borrego Desert State Park operates on a first-come, first-served basis with payment collected through an envelope system. Mountain Palm Springs Camp provides primitive camping access for visitors exploring the desert landscape, with no developed facilities or hookups available.
The campground allows pets and alcohol, with drive-in access making it reachable for standard vehicles. California Department of Parks and Recreation manages the site, which includes ADA accessibility features. Campers should come prepared for dry camping conditions and pack out all waste, as this dispersed camping area maintains minimal infrastructure while providing access to the surrounding desert environment.
