Does anyone ever go out to Anza Borrego to camp in the summer or is it just too hot?

Hey Desertman
We once took a trip to the Mud Caves in Arroyo Tapiado during June.
It was hot in the wash but once we got down into the caves the temperature dropped 20'
We didn't camp though , just spent the day. Manageable but definetly in the triple digits

Hey, new to the place. Great to see some borrego lovers out here. Since about 1986, which was my first camping trip to borrego....the majority of my trips to borrego have been in the middle of summer. Yeah it gets blazing, but you also get your pick of spots...very few people...kind of nice but potentially dangerous. The absolute scariest time was losing the car in Clark Valley after hiking back from the petroglyphs at corp. It was 113 and two of us got sick. Whew....you just cannot overemphasize water.

Hey sunburn.
Welcome to the forum.!!
OK you are hardcore. The only time I have been out to Borrego in the summer was to check out the Mud Caves. It was over 100' out in the open but the temp dropped 20' degrees once you got down inside the caves.
I have been tempted to head out this summer since we have had some real cloudy days on the coast. Have to convince my wife though. 
Would love to hear more about your "losing the car" story.
Bob
