Luckily the timing was pretty good. We didn't see full on fields of color, but there were so many beautiful flowers and it was amazing to see the desert this green for the first time in years. We stayed in Borrego Palm campground again, full review of the campground in my previous post.
On our way home we took a detour so we could check out some of the DesertX art installations in and around Palm Springs. Definitely worth getting home a little later than usual.
*In case you're wondering how you coordinate a 25 person camping trip - SHARED SPREADSHEET. Rather than having everyone bring their own food we assigned a certain number of people to each meal and asked people to sign up. Other communal items you should have people sign up to bring - coolers with ice, firewood, french presses, camping stoves. It was really nice sharing out the meal duties because we only had to bring breakfast stuff.
I am definitely NOT an outdoors camping enthusiast, but I love reading your posts about camping! They ALMOST make me want to try it again. ALMOST.

I need to know how do you use the bathroom when camping? I've never been.
ReplyDeleteHa! It really varies. This particular campsite has running water, so there are plenty of flush toilets (and even showers!). Most of the campsites we go to have pit toilets, which basically look like a bathroom but there's no running water so the toilet doesn't flush. They don't smell great, but it's fine.
DeleteThat area is so beautiful! Wow. How do you find camping with your dogs? Do you use a special dot tent for them?
ReplyDeleteWould you be willing to share the spreadsheet you use for your camping trips? I am trying to coordinate a camping trip with my friends this summer and I'd love to make sure we have all our meals covered and everyone contributes equally!
