Getting Outdoors
Many folks coming to this vast sea arrive out of fascination, curiosity, and to behold its striking beauty. The salty waters of the lake prevent many fish types from surviving in its waters. However, fish like hardy Tilapia thrive very well in the sea. They are so crowded at the Salton Sea that many locals keep their families well-fed with a catch from here. Pack your fishing gear, tackle and bait in your RV rental and try your hand at landing one of these fish. Anglers have great success fishing on the water and even from the shoreline. There are rules and regulations you need to follow, though. They may be found by doing an online search of California fishing regulations.
Camping at Salton Sea
As you plan to do some RV camping at the Salton Sea, consider either primitive wilderness or modern creature comforts at the campgrounds for your pleasure. The Salton Sea has three campgrounds, which can accommodate vehicles up to 45 feet. Amenities include water, electricity, showers, bathrooms, and dump stations.
Exploring the Area
Before you leave the Salton Sea, consider touring the Southern California region, particularly the Colorado Desert. As you explore Southern California visit the city of Indio, which is 24 miles away from the Salton Sea.

Wow! Wow! What a perfect setup with all the amenities and included items like plates, pans, utensils and the veranda was perfect. We see the small attention to details from the decoration and the things like coffee, tea, towels. Everything was great! Highly highly recommend!

We rented an Airstream through Outdoorsy and had a fantastic experience. The RV was incredibly comfortable, well-stocked, and clearly very well maintained. The host was excellent, great communication throughout and everything was set up perfectly for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent from them again.
