Anza Borrego Desert State Park - California State Parks - State of ...

Final Report – October 2001
Comments: Spring Visitors to Blair Valley
www.llbean has a better web site for parks than the states parks.
Why is mountain lion protected so it cat eat endangered bighorn sheep but you can shoot one if it
looks at a horse?
We've been camping out here since the 1970's and I've been very happy with the way this park
has been handled. From primitive camping to off roading the beauty as remained.
We love it in the desert it is so peaceful and quiet and beautiful. We come out from San Diego
just to make a bed on the ground for 8-10 family members and sleep looking at the sky for hours.
We have been in a desert for the first time and we found park management, facilities on
campgrounds (developed and undeveloped) and the information programme excellent.
We enjoyed the park!
Were not real enthused about the idea of restoring the rail line through the park. Too noisy also
an access for illegal immigrants. Makes the park less safe when these folks are going through
primitive campsites.
We enjoy visiting this area.
This is a beautiful place, tranquil and quiet. It is a wonderful place for security and peace, hoping
that those that come here respect the land and appreciate what god and nature has given to us.
Self-awareness is vital to the preservation of this area only through constant enforcement can
this be achieved. Hope all those involved inform the less aware of how to take care of it. Have a
good day and keep up the great work ranger, I sure do appreciate it.
The vallecito campground is very beautiful and well maintained.
The park is fairly set up to allow all types of people to enjoy the area.
The lack of restrictions is refreshing.
Thanks.
Thanks for getting rid of the fee. It's not fair unless it is collected in all state parks.
Thank You?
Sorry just passing through uniformed comment I consider danger on misleading
Recreational vehicle areas should be kept separate from tent campers.
Put solar bathrooms in crowed camping areas (primitive).
Limit the size of the groups. Large groups should be in places where there won't impact other
campers.
Put in several fire rings in Blair Valley.
Put waste container at the entrance to Blair Valley.
Provide for mountain bicycle trails.
Provide fire ring in Blair Valley and a waste container at the entrance.
Prohibit off-road vehicles.
Pretty much covered in the question are-survey.
Please clean up chemical toilet at Mountain Palm Springs Campground more often. Thank You.
Love the Park!
Never-ever bring back the day use fee.
N/A
More restrooms needed in camping areas.
Maps need to be more scale in terms of scale/topography. ) Large map is good with topography,
though.) Hiking maps are not as clear as they could be, and more information on whether to
drive/walk to a trailhead is helpful. Also, a few more markings on trailheads would help.
We couldn't successfully find all pts. We wanted to on either of our hikes. But, we would learn
from this and come back to try again!
Thanks!
Keeping most of RV's together is good as at Borrego Springs. Allowing those who prefer to be
alone is great.
