About the Area
DeAnza Springs Resort is nestled on over 500 acres of high desert – 2600 feet of elevation, to be exact – just outside of Jacumba Hot Springs. The resort is surrounded on three sides by the breathtaking hills of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
TheWeather
During the month of June, the temperatures average in the mid 80s during the day and mid 40s at night with low humidity. The area is known for high winds off and on throughout the year. BE PREPARED! Mother Nature has her own agenda and you should be prepared for extreme temperatures and high winds as it’s always possible!
Vegetation & Terrain
Do not damage, break or remove any plants. Plants which seem dead may only be dormant; truly dead plants are still part of the ecosystem, providing nourishment and shelter for other lifeforms. The area is pretty clear of vegetation but be careful where you park your vehicle– stay clear of bushes or shrubs (this is how fires can start!).
Cholla is a term applied to various shrubby cacti of this genus with cylindrical stems composed of segmented joints. These stems are actually modified branches that serve several functions—water storage, photosynthesis and flower production. If you encounter cholla, do not touch them! They are known for their barbed spines that tenaciously attach to skin, fur, and clothing
Clothing Option Site
Yes, DeAnza Springs is San Diego’s only clothing optional resort. The area designated for our festival is on the southern end that contains trailers where residents live. The full-time residents are welcome at our event and we expect many of our own community to take advantage of the freedom it provides. The resort describes itself as clothing-optional. Please respect the residents’ lifestyle choice and freedom of expression as you would your fellow YOUtopians. We honor the principle of Radical Self-Expression.
