Outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, birdwatching, wildlife parks, and historical sites are all within a few miles. Imperial Sand Dunes, Gordon’s Well, and Buttercup are 20 minutes away to ride your ATVs. With the Colorado River just one mile away, and many lakes in the area, you can fish to your heart’s content. California and tribal fishing license are required if fishing on the tribal land.
We are just 8 miles from the Mexico border at Andrade/Los Algodones, where “medical tourism” is very popular. Many vising snowbirds receive dental care there every winter at significant savings. You can also purchase alcohol and prescription drugs. You will find authentic Mexican food, entertainment, hand-crafted pottery, jewelry, leather goods, toys, clothing, yard ornaments and much more! Passport is advised. See a map to the border parking lot from RV park.
Yuma is known as the lettuce capital of the world! You can also find citrus and date groves nearby. Depending on the season, there are rodeos, pow-wows, street fairs and a large swap meet. See links below for more ideas.
Bring your hiking boots and/or bicycles for all the nature trails around here. There are many species of wildlife, so don’t forget your binoculars and camera!
