Cement Flats Campground is a popular destination for camping in the Salton Sea watershed of California. The area is known for its stunning views of the Salton Sea and the surrounding mountains. The campground amenities include campsites with picnic tables and fire rings, restrooms, and potable water.

There are several points of interest in the area, including the Salton Sea State Recreation Area, which offers fishing, boating, and hiking opportunities. The Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge is another nearby attraction, where visitors can spot a variety of bird species. The nearby Salvation Mountain is also worth a visit, as it is a colorful and unique art installation in the middle of the desert.

One interesting fact about the area is that the Salton Sea is actually a man-made lake that was accidentally created in 1905 when the Colorado River overflowed and flooded the Imperial Valley. The Salton Sea is now a popular destination for fishing and recreational activities.

The best time of year to visit Cement Flats Campground is during the fall and winter months, when the temperatures are cooler and more comfortable for outdoor activities. Average temperatures during this time range from 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit. However, visitors should be aware that the area can be very hot and dry during the summer months, with average temperatures reaching over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
