Summary
It provides dispersed campsites only—no established campground—along a scenic desert pond frequented by anglers and birdwatchers. There are no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups, but RVs are allowed on the dirt access road. The vibe is relaxed and quiet, surrounded by desert landscape and palm trees with pond views. Popular for fishing and wildlife viewing, it’s best visited in cooler months (October–March). Nearby attractions include the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge and Yuma’s historic sites. Pack in everything you need!

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
