Visit Bombay Beach – An almost ghost town turned into a eccentric artistic community.The Slab City hot springs can be a bit of a “homeless shelter”, but if you are into that kind of a thing go for it. Bird Watching – With over 400 species of birds there is bound to be a new bird to see.In 1905, before the canals were completed, flood waters breached the canal and for nearly two years a large portion of the Colorado River poured into the Salt Basin creating the modern day Salton Sea. In the late 1800’s canals were built to bring irrigation water from the Colorado River. It was a freshwater lake back in the 1600’s but at the beginning of the 1900’s it was a dry lake bed and location of salt mining.
Every 400 – 500 years it goes through a cycle of being a dry lake bed and a fresh water lake. The sea occupies the Salt Basin in southern California. The Salton Sea is California’s largest Lake which was created as the result of an engineering disaster in 1905. Dead fish bones, decayed bird carcasses millions of tons of barnacle husks – which look like white sand from a distance but are way more painful to walk on – lined the beach. Our visions of beaches, water activities and quaint little seaside towns were quickly smashed upon arrival at our Campground. Abandoned and run down buildings indicated something other than the quaint seaside towns to which we were accustomed. Our “something is not quite right here” radar started going off by the time we got into sight of the water. The Reality was not unpleasant, just unexpected. This is not your Typical Seaside Vacation We’d never heard of it before but were up for a little exploration. So we searched google maps and campendium for lakes nearby and found the Salton Sea. Sebastian wanted somewhere we could swim. It was clear three days of driving, pulling over at a rest area each night, was just going to lead to misery, so we did what we can now do as Full-Time RVers. By the time we got to Joshua Tree National Park our little boy was tired and fidgety, and parents were tired from a week of hustle and bustle at Disney, so we pulled over to take a short walk. We had just spent a week at Disneyland and were planning to spend 3 days driving to Texas. We were not even considering or looking for boondocking in California so our stop at the Salton Sea was a nice surprise. One of the best locations for boondocking in California is the Salton Sea. But we think that that although these are must see locations that there is a forgotten treasure that should be on every adventures bucket list. No login or subscription necessary.When looking for boondocking locations in California the Pacific Coast’s Sandy Beaches and Joshua Tree National Park have to top your list. Send location data directly to our Road Trip Planner app. Filter the locations (water, toilets, etc) so you only view the locations you what to see. View Flickr photos for the location (when available). Find nearby hiking and biking locations. Get the local weather for the location. Get info about each boondocking location, even when offline. View multiple map types such as Open Street Map. Shows driving distance and time from your current location to the boondocking location. No Internet needed as the boondocking locations are contained with the app. The number of locations continues to increase as more users submit boondocking locations.
What one person describes as beautiful another may describe as worthless. The boondocking locations are obtained from crowdsourcing and are therefore subjective in nature.
