Imperial Dam LTVA Revisited.

 

Last December we went in the tracker to Imperial Dam Recreation Area, we were not impressed all we saw was a large flat gravel area, We have been told by several people that we didn’t drive far enough and that there were several campgrounds beyond what we saw.

So this morning we set out to  see what we had missed last year.We took the Winterhaven  turnoff and I 24 . We stopped at Imperial Date Garden for a Date Shake.

About ten miles from the turnoff we found what we had missed last year.

Lots  of RVs here.

There is a dump, water and garbage here.

We didn’t go into this campground,

Kripple Creek was off the road a bit, we didn’t see a fee sign, but it looked like some people were there for the winter

Most of the sites were tucked away by themselves

I don’t think there were any services other than garbage dumpsters.

There is another area past Senators Wash  called Squaw Lake that was several miles away.

Just outside Kripple Creek we let the dogs out for some exercise.

There is nothing cuter than a Boston butt

The highways are really getting busy with Thanksgiving approaching, there are an unbelievable number of RVs on the road.

  1. We've heard of the Imperial Dam but have never been there. Might be too popular of a place for us by the sounds of it. Always nice to be near water though.

  2. Looks like a nice area, are you settling for a while there. Will you be able to see the Grey Cup on Sunday?
