A few good questions
How many campgrounds are near Salton Sea?

Which towns are on Salton Sea?

How do you decide a park has lake access?
A park is marked Direct lake access when it sits on the Salton Sea shoreline in OpenStreetMap and its own listing names water access (a boat ramp or launch, marina, waterfront or lakefront sites, and similar). Tap the badge to see the evidence. Parks close to the water without that are marked Near the lake: that is proximity only, and access is not confirmed. We don't label individual waterfront campsites.
