About
Roadrunner Campground is located in the heart of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area near Brawley, California. As the second largest campground in the area, it features a large paved loop road that accommodates tents, RVs, and OHV trailers. Two vault toilets serve the campground. The Imperial Sand Dunes are the largest mass of sand dunes in California, extending more than 40 miles with an average width of 5 miles. The dunes reach heights of 300 feet and were formed by windblown sands of ancient Lake Cahuilla. Off-highway vehicle recreation is the primary activity, though wildlife viewing and photography are also popular. This is primitive BLM camping with no hookups, potable water, or developed amenities beyond the vault toilets and paved roads. Campers should bring all supplies including water. A 14-day camping limit applies. All vehicles in the recreation area must display a safety flag on an 8-foot whip mast.
Directions
From Brawley, California, take Highway 78 east. Turn south onto Gecko Road and continue to the end of the road where the campground is located.
