Part of Bureau of Land Management's desert holdings, Imperial Sand Dunes provides drive-in camping access to California's expansive dune system. The campground features multiple restrooms and trash service, with cell service available for those who need connectivity. Pets are welcome, and the site meets ADA accessibility standards.
One reviewer notes the abundance of restroom facilities and suggests the location works well for visitors with off-road vehicles, though recommends bringing improvised sliding equipment like trash can lids for those without desert toys. The campground operates on a paid basis with reservations available. Alcohol is permitted on-site. Campers exploring campgrounds around Winterhaven will find this location suits off-road enthusiasts and those interested in dune recreation.
