Camping in Fish Creek Mountains Wilderness

Fish Creek Campground is located adjacent to the Fish Creek Wilderness in Anza Borrego State Park.

The BLM encourages all desert recreationists and travelers exploring public lands, not only within southern California but through the west, to use propylene glycol bases antifreeze/coolant in their touring and recreation vehicles.
