Mecca Beach Campground is one of several campgrounds within the Salton Sea State Recreation Area along the eastern shore.
Compared to other campgrounds in the area, Mecca Beach feels more developed, with numerous shade trees, long rows of paved camp sites, covered picnic benches, and a small amphitheater for seasonal programs.
Sites are set out down long rows, with sites nearest to the water buit to accommodate cars and tent campers. The next row back has spacious parking spots for RVs and trailers, though there are no water or power hook ups located in the campground.
Bathrooms are modern buildings with changing areas and free showers. Along with the Headquarters/New Campground, Mecca Beach campground and day use area has retained the most feel from when the Salton Sea pushed itself as a leisurely beach resort destination. And while the infrastructure of Mecca Beach reflects that, the lower water levels have drawn the shoreline a fair distance from the campground itself.
Sites contain picnic tables and fire pits. The area is a popular day use site as well.
Reservations can be made online. Proceed through the somewhat confusing Salton Sea State Recreation Area website by entering dates, and later in the process you can select the Mecca Beach site.
As of Spring of 2023, there was no running water available at the campground and temporary outhouses had been installed for visitor use.
