Summary
There are no toilets (bring a trowel), no water (pack in all you need), and no amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups. RVs are not recommended due to rough, high-clearance roads. The area features striking desert scenery with rugged canyons and volcanic rock formations. Popular nearby trails include the Cinco Tinajas Trail. Best visited in cooler months (October–April), Fresno Canyon offers solitude and raw beauty for experienced, self-sufficient campers seeking an off-grid desert adventure.

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.
