Del Yermo RV Park sits in prime territory for anyone who wants to explore the Imperial County desert with their dog. You’re minutes from the Salton Sea, the sand dunes, old mining sites, and several wildlife refuges—basically a launching pad for serious outdoor activity. If your dog enjoys hiking, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to get out there and explore.

The location works well for different kinds of trips. Birders come here for the refuges. Hunters head out during dove season. Rock hounders dig around the historical mining areas. ATV enthusiasts have access to dune riding. Your dog can tag along for most of these activities, though the nature of your trip will shape what works best.

Getting there is straightforward. Head south on Highway 111 into Calipatria, then turn at the Highway 111 and Highway 115 junction and go one block south. It’s easy to find once you know the landmarks.

The park itself is dog-friendly, which means you won’t run into resistance about bringing your dog along. The setup lets you base yourself in one spot and take day trips into the surrounding area, or use it as a comfortable overnight stop if you’re traveling through Imperial County. The desert landscape here is different from what you might be used to—it’s harsh and beautiful in a stark way, and it opens up a lot of exploration options.

The surrounding area has a real working-landscape feel to it. You’re not in a developed resort area; you’re in actual desert country where people still hunt, rock hound, and enjoy off-road activities. That authenticity is part of what makes it interesting. If your dog likes open space and doesn’t mind desert heat, this is a solid base for getting out and doing things rather than just sitting around a campground.
