**Southern California Camper Van Meetup in Anza Borrego**

Join us for a **three-day dispersed camping trip** in **Blair Valley**, part of beautiful **Anza-Borrego Desert State Park**. This will also be my **last trip with the Weekend Outside group**, so let’s make it a great one!
This casual meetup is perfect for all camping enthusiasts — especially **van campers and overlanders**. The focus is on **relaxing, socializing, sharing ideas and best practices**, and simply enjoying the outdoors together.
Please note: **This is dispersed camping** — there are **no toilets, water, or amenities** available. Come prepared with everything you need to be fully self-sufficient.
Blair Valley offers wide open spaces and scenic desert views. We’ll be limiting the group to **15 vehicles** to keep things small and personal.
