Tamarisk Long Term Visitor Area

Nice and quiet... minus the earthquake... There is no water, hookups or anything else here during off months. No garbage cans, no RV electric hookups, dumps station, toilets, playground set, picnic area, etc. THIS PLACE IS DOG FRIENDLY...but beware there is a busy road near by and there is off-road activity with quads and other fast vehicles. Be aware, during the summer months the temperature can hit 120°F.

I found this area to hold incredible but subtle beauty. I really liked walking along the canal at sunset and of course the free hot springs "old fogey" there is way more area out here that you can camp in although it's not listed anywhere and was harder to find out about. I love this area of the California Desert.

This is a small rectangular campground. Not much bigger than a couple of football fields side by side. It's edged by trees, which looks odd because there are no trees anywhere else nearby. It's flat, and looks like a good place to stay, but when we were there at the end of January 2022, it was completely deserted. All of the signes were up, although very weathered. But no camp host and no campers. Although the Border Patrol agents we met there said it was relatively safe, we decided not to stay.

It’s in the middle of nowhere. Doesn’t appear very safe. Good for a few nights. For some reason I get good vibes here.

No host, no amenities, 2O+ miles from anything. Can't understand why on earth they made this area a LTVA.
