Map & Directions
Listed at right is a Map and Directions sheet you can download and print. It has a map to get you from the freeway into camp, another map of the campground itself, and written directions for those folks who have a hard time with maps.
Take Interstate 8 East, go past El Centro (a great rest stop) and continue east until you reach the Winterhaven/4th Avenue exit (do not get off at the first Winterhaven exit).
Make a left and go about 3/4 mile (sign says Picacho State Park). Make a right and then a left under the railroad trestle. Follow the two-way road approximately five miles. The paved road will end and the dirt road begins.
It is now 19 miles until you reach the campground. The road can be rough traveling and speeds are usually between 15 and 35 miles per hour. Of course if you don't like your vehicle and would like a good reason to trash it, this is a great place to do it!!
At the entrance to Picacho pick up an envelope, fill it out and put in your camping fee and place in receptacle where posted. Your on your own for a campsite so pick a spot wherever you would like.
