Agua Caliente Park is a camping park located in the large Anza Borrego Desert State Park. It is famous for its geothermally heated springs and rugged desert hiking. The park has three natural mineral pools that visitors can enjoy. Hikers can explore miles of trails that wind through the park's canyons and up its hillsides.

The park is very popular in the winter and has many camping sites, including full hook-ups, partial hook-ups, and tent sites. There is also a caravan area for large groups, plus seven camping cabins. The cabins have temperature controls, a table with seating for four, two queen-size bed frames, a sink, and a bathroom.

NOTE: Alcoholic drinks are not allowed in the pool areas.
