Plenty of space, decently large firepits, bear-proof trach receptacles for every campsite, nearby restrooms and showers! Also, it's beautiful. Come here for birding and stargazing!

This is a man made lake. Do not go in the water. Pets as well, it's beautiful, but has a smell

Lots of bugs! Service is like one person for the whole park. So I car camped and did dry camping. I didn't rely on any services. It was a nice view but the bugs are something else. Sad story about the lake. "They cut off the flow from the Colorado River and it went stale".

I camped once at the Salton Sea Recreational Area. I was LITERALLY the only person camping there that night. Really nice facilities; eerily quiet. Absolutely gorgeous sunset and sunrise. Haunting levels of trash embedded along the shoreline (tires and such). All of it made for some great photographic images. Honestly, I had a positive experience there. Wouldn't make it a destination, but it was a great waypoint on my journey and I would stay there again. (this was in 2020)

Attended a local night life tour. We arrived before sunset and got some great pics. I can’t recommend as a destination but there is history at the Salton Sea and this was a great way to explore and learn with a knowledgeable group of volunteers. If you visit bring water, good shoes and be ready to explore. The Salton Sea is what it is and you can enjoy it but be ready.
