About Gecko Campground

Welcome to Gecko Campground, where endless sand dunes meet starlit desert skies in the heart of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area. As the area's premier camping destination, this expansive campground unfolds across two thoughtfully designed loops—north and south—each accessible by smooth paved roads that wind through the dramatic dunescapes. Modern vault toilets are strategically placed throughout both loops, ensuring comfort without compromising the authentic desert experience. Here, the rhythmic whisper of shifting sands and the vast openness of the Sonoran Desert create an unforgettable backdrop for your outdoor adventure.
