Redcloud Road cuts through BLM desert east of the Salton Sea, where the surrounding mountains block early morning sun and temperatures can climb past 100°F by midday. The unpaved road is bumpy but passable for sedans. Cell service is available, there are no fees, and the area has enough dispersed sites that finding a spot on arrival is generally not difficult. Campers heading into the California desert can browse campgrounds near Niland for additional options along the route. Arrive while it's light to scout a site and watch for anthills near ground level.
