A free dry camping area behind the General Patton Museum. No facilities at campsites. Fuel, gift shop, post office, mini-mart, and restaurant nearby. Check out the website for more services and facilities.
Look for sign “Free Dry Camping” at east edge of museum parking lot directing you to camping area behind museum. Multiple camp sites areas along several east-west dirt roads. Dirt roads OK for cars/RVs. Some freeway noise, but site is out of sight of service road.
WWII tanks and armored vehicles stored nearby. Visit museum for huge topo map of area and history of WWII Desert Training Center. On Veterans Day they have a big celebration. All veterans enter free that day and all outside entertainment is free for everyone.

Hi! Just wanted to correct your listing of this site as BLM. It’s actually located on private land,(owned by my family, who also owns the Coffee Shop & Food Mart)which is adjacent to the Patton museum parcel.
My mother had this little site graded several years ago for overnighters and we love to see people using it.
After all the rainfall this week, it will need to be graded again!
Sorry you guys ran into such bad weather- please contact me if you’d like any further info and feel free to stop & camp anytime.
