IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION - READ THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY
GREAT NEWS!!!!! LOCATION UPDATE
Our continuing efforts to find an alternate location for Borrego fest has finally paid off, at least for 2019. The new campsite is the Tamarisk Grove Campground, (details and map below.) Among the many advantages of this site are:
- actually in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park
- hot showers
- water
- flush toilets
- camp fire rings
- tables with pergola
- A small ranger station with a small museum and book store
- nearby nature trails
- accessible by all vehicles via a paved road
WELCOME EVERYONE!!!
It's time once again to start planning our annual Outdoor Adventure USA Borrego Fest event. The dates are set for October 4th through October 6th, (Friday, Saturday and Sunday.) for three days of camping. This is a family event that never fails to impress. Some of the activities we MAY offer are off-road trail runs, ham radio testing, a spectacular Saturday night Dutch Oven cook-off, wine tastings, great appetizers, coffee tastings, Ham radio demonstrations, and more. Please let us know if you plan on attending. Fees and sign up info below.
OAUSA depends on the donations from this event, and Summer Fest, to help it stay in operation. Campsite fees, taxes, and website expenses all add up, and OAUSA is comprised of a completely volunteer, unpaid staff. We have done our best to keep the fees reasonable, and ask that all who can, please join us for Borrego Fest 2019.
