Tamarisk Grove Campground

Tamarisk Grove Campground offers a unique desert oasis experience, blending rustic charm with unexpected greenery in the heart of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. This compact campground features 27 sites nestled among imported tamarisk trees, providing welcome shade in an otherwise sun-baked landscape. The campground's intimate size and strategic location make it an ideal base for exploring the park's diverse desert ecosystem.

Situated at the intersection of two desert roads, Tamarisk Grove serves as a gateway to the park's natural wonders. Its location offers easy access to popular hiking trails like Cactus Loop and Yaqui Well, where visitors can immerse themselves in the stark beauty of the Colorado Desert. The campground's proximity to these trails allows campers to easily embark on early morning hikes or sunset walks, maximizing their desert exploration.

Located about 12 miles southeast of Borrego Springs, Tamarisk Grove provides a more secluded alternative to the town's bustling campgrounds. The surrounding area is characterized by expansive desert vistas, rugged mountain ranges, and diverse flora adapted to the arid climate. Within a short drive, visitors can experience the park's iconic palm oases, witness the spring wildflower blooms (season permitting), or explore the fascinating geologic formations that define this unique desert landscape.
