Camping at Salton Sea SRA near North Shore

State park · North Shore · 87 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

One of the world's largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth at more than -240 below sea level, Salton Sea was re-created in 1905 when high spring flooding on the Colorado River crashed the canal gates leading into the developing Imperial Valley. For the next 18 months the entire volume of the Colorado River rushed into the Salton Trough.
