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

Final Report – October 2001
Ensure that there is less off trail impact from vehicles & foot visitors
Don't even think of opening the hiking areas to RVs!
Visitors, rangers, should make decisions and eco-friendly people who have mother earth's
interests at heart. NOT tourists and developers!
It's beautiful. Keep it as wild as possible. No DEVELOPMENT!
Best place on the planet!
Beautiful-unspoiled area
Beautiful place! Good job!!
A few more arrows or signs would have been helpful, We weren’t sure where to go a few times. I
realize you can't pave it all the way up. However it is hard for physically challenged people.
Comments: Fall Visitors to Blair Valley
Would like to see camping fees reinstated with 100% returned to Anza-Borrego system.
Wonderful quiet areas, easy access
Where can we find out more about the history of the people (Smith family and Native Americans)
that were residents of this area many years ago? Williams, 2650 Country Club Dr., Glendon, CA

We had a great time!
We enjoy the quiet and solitude that may sometimes be found in parts of Anza-Borrego State
park. We hope that this level of activity may be maintained for years to come at least in some
areas of this great state park.
We enjoy the park immensely!
This is my first visit/first day but I'm sure after a few days I'll have lots of suggestions.
P.S. Get rid of Ocotillo Wells Rec. Area, what a disgusting display of desert destruction in such a
beautiful and irreplaceable environment.
This is beautiful open space. Please preserve it.
There has been a wonderful balance of human use & facilities & nature for the past 14 years. It
has been as clean & "untrashed" & hopefully people will continue to respect this sacred place.
Good Luck. She's a land worthy of preservation as a "last bastion" in So. Cal.
The wildlife is of permanent importance. Whatever that takes should take priority.
The visitor center is excellent! I love the park. So many good memories. But DON"T open too
much of the backcountry to offroad vehicles. No MOTORCYCLES!!! within the park. They have
Ocotillo Wells. More info on backcountry camping & hiking/backpacking would be great!
The park should be used as a natural resource, where vehicle access is limited as much as
possible. In particular off road vehicles should be limited only to areas with existing trails & roads.
Thanks for the opportunity to provide answers to these questions!
Thanks for protecting and preserving such a beautiful place. Keep up the good work! Keep cool
Simplify payment process - more availability. Park is kept clean - good!
Short visit, but impressed with the park & Cuyanaca
RV access should be limited
Re open Mt Palm Springs.
Rangers are very friendly, Portable toilets very clean - thank you
Quite happy visitor for 7 years
Quality control should be in control but should be handled in a way that each person feels ok with
the manner in which it is used.
Please keep the park as close to its natural environment as possible.
Open coyote canyon to 4 wheel drive vehicles
Open camping policy is a big plus for Anza-Borrego
Off-road rules OK as they are, Heavy fines for being off established roads. I am happy with the
