Dogs aren't allowed on hiking trails anywhere in the state park (understandably, the desert is fragile and too many dogs would endanger native plants/animals) but they are allowed on wash/dirt roads and on the short native plant trails around the visitors' center. There is a 0.6 mile (1.2 mile) round trip sidewalk through the desert from the visitors' center to the campground, which was gorgeous in early spring, as everything was green and flowers were starting to bloom. Bring plenty of water.

I wasn’t s sure that camping in this state park would be any fun for my dogs, because they are not allowed on the hiking trails. But, we did find that the campground was large enough to walk around , and there is a 0.6 mile long sidewalk that goes across the open desert to the Visitor Center in which dogs are allowed! This was more than enough for my two seniors. Also the city of Borrego Springs is nearby, which isn’t state park, if your dogs need more freedom. The city also has over 100 giant outdoor sculptures in the desert that are dog friendly, and some dog friendly restaurants.
