Hey, you probably know- What are good places to Boondock in Anza Borrego that are accessible in a two wheel drive rig? How about that dry lake bed off S-22?
Is it free? Any other good tips about camping in the park during the winter months? I'd like to stay out of Palm Canyon and Tamarack. Too crowded and expensive for frequent trips.
I've only camped in Ocotillo Wells but I'm out of the off-road scene these days.
The great thing about anza borrego desert is there is an open camping policy and you can camp anywhere within 1 car length from the road/jeep trail so the camping spots are endless. Just make sure you bring a metal container for your fire and please try and pack your ashes out with you. The dry lake off S22 is "clark dry lake" and is actually not in ABDSP. this is a popular boondocking spot (free) and I have camped there many times. You are limited with a 2wd vehicle but can get in many washes, but you may have clearance issues. If you live in Ramona (close to ABDSP), I would recommend looking for a 4wd truck to have access to pretty much all 500 miles of jeep trails (depending on your rig size). There are many sites off S2, short turn offs to camp, blair valley. Egg mountain is one of my favorite spots for a 2wd vehicle and off south fork carizo creek. During the winter you will be able to access the mud caves with 2wd.
