Fall Camping in Anza Borrego

Most people visit Anza Borrego in Spring for the wildflowers.  I thought fall would be nice, but it was still a little too hot—mid/upper 80’s in the day.  The campsites were the most spaced out ones that we have been to.  The bathroom was also a bit of a trek, but it was clean.

This wooden structure actually did help to provide some shade.  We had space 103, but 104 had a really nice stone structure.  It cooled down pretty quickly once the sun set behind the mountain. 

We had a simple dinner of ramen.  I took it up a notch from cup o’noodles and went to Mitsuwa the day before to buy refrigerated packages of miso ramen.  I added some green onions and baby bok choy.  It was easy to do on the camping stove.  We didn’t want to go through the trouble of a campfire/hibachi.  We also shared an apricot danish from Dudley’s for dessert.

Nighttime temps were supposed to be in the mid-50’s, which didn’t seem too bad to us after Utah. I was hoping to see tons of stars, but the moon was too bright for that.

My mom made glow bugs for the kids by putting electric tea lights in a plastic Easter egg.  The kids had fun with them in the tent.
