We spent two nights in site 72, which is in the no hookup section of the campground ($25/night), before spending two nights in site 33, which is in the full hookup section ($35/night).

The sites in this section are labeled with a maximum of 25', but we were able to fit our 27' Airstream into site 72 by backing up as far as possible into the site. I studied all of the sites on Google Maps satellite image to make sure I chose a site that was laid out right and big enough for us. If size isn't an issue, the odd numbered sites of 73-87 have the best views. It's also not a bad idea to look at Google Maps satellite to see which direction you need to approach your site from (it's a loop) as the person at the check in kiosk handed us a highlighted map with the most direct route to our site, but not the correct direction to approach our site from due to the angle.

We didn't use the restrooms/showers, but they looked fine. They are all individual, so that's nice from a safety standpoint. The showers take tokens and tokens are two for $1, though I don't know how long of a shower that gets you. They also have firewood for sale right at the entry kiosk.

WARNING: Check in is 2pm -- no exceptions! We arrived at 1:38 and were turned away. We drove over to the visitor center and parked in RV parking while we went inside to get some literature and souvenirs.

While the sites in the no hookup loop can't accommodate very large rigs, they are quite spacious. Each site has a pergola, picnic table, and fire pit with grill. Being a dark sky park, the stars gazing is fantastic. This loop was also incredibly quiet, with most people going to bed pretty early. Even though generators are allowed during certain times, we never heard any running -- this may be because we were there at the beginning of March before things got too hot during the day.

After two nights, we moved to the full hookups section. These sites are pull-thrus with vegetation between sites to give some privacy. They are labeled as 35' max, but we were able to fit our Airstream, our truck, and a visiting friend's car in our site without issue. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit with grill. In this section, sites 50 and 51 are probably the best, and any end site where you don't have a neighbor on your door side (like 47).

There are three trails that leave right from the campground -- Panoramic Overlook Trail, Visitor Center Interpretive Trail (which allows bikes and dogs), and the Borrego Palm Canyon Trail (which was partially closed when we were there due to a fire, but is still a beautiful hike).

We really enjoyed our stay in both of our sites and have to say that Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (and this campground) is the jewel of the California state park system.
