Corn Springs Campground

Tucked away deep within a canyon of the Chuckwalla Mountains, Corn Springs Campground offers a truly unique desert escape. This primitive site is famous for its natural oasis, where a lush stand of California fan palms creates a stark, beautiful contrast against the rugged desert landscape. Beyond its natural beauty, the area is historically significant as a major prehistoric Native American site, home to some of the finest examples of ancient rock art in the Colorado Desert.

Set at an elevation of 1,625 feet, the campground provides a tranquil environment for those looking to disconnect. Please note that this is a primitive BLM-managed location with no listed amenities or hookups, so campers must arrive fully self-sufficient. The site is wheelchair accessible, ensuring that visitors of many ability levels can enjoy the historic petroglyphs and migratory bird sightings found throughout the canyon.

Corn Springs is best suited for tent campers and self-contained travelers who appreciate a remote, off-the-grid experience. With a modest fee of $6 per night and year-round accessibility, it serves as an ideal destination for history buffs, birdwatchers, and adventurers seeking solitude in the heart of the California desert.
