"Immediately got bad vibes when we pulled up and there was no sign and no cars in the parking lot, but thought all we needed was a bed for the night. Don’t do it… we got to the room and it was run down and infested with bed bugs. As we went back to the office to check out and process refund, we saw three different drug deals go down from someone I the corner unit. Cats would pull up, guy would come out talk to them for 30 seconds and then car would leave….unfortunately would not recommend even...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ocotillo?
The best area to stay in Ocotillo is the immediate vicinity of the main Ocotillo township, particularly along Imperial Highway.

This area offers the most convenient access to local amenities and the desert landscape. Imperial Highway is the central thoroughfare, where you'll find a few local eateries and general stores. It's an excellent base for exploring the surrounding desert, known for its unique flora and rock formations.

For those seeking a tranquil and secluded experience, staying slightly outside the main township, perhaps a few miles off Imperial Highway on one of the smaller, unpaved roads, can be ideal. These locations often feature properties with more expansive land, offering greater privacy and uninterrupted views of the desert. It's superb for couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful retreat away from any hustle and bustle.

The best time to go to Ocotillo is during the cooler months, from late autumn to early spring, typically November through April.

This makes it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, off-roading, and exploring the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, which is easily accessible from Ocotillo. The mild weather ensures a comfortable experience whether you're caravanning or staying in local accommodation.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will appreciate these months. The cooler temperatures make evenings great for stargazing, and the natural landscape is at its most inviting for leisurely walks or scenic drives without the intense heat.

Families will also find this period suitable for a memorable trip. With the milder weather, children can enjoy playing outdoors and exploring the desert environment without the risks associated with extreme heat.
