About

Desert View RV Resort, nestled near Needles, CA, is a charming spot for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. This place has a lot going for it, starting with the privacy and shade provided by tall oleander shrubs between sites. These bushes not only offer a bit of seclusion but also some much-needed relief from the desert sun.

The campground features spacious pull-through sites, each with a concrete patio, making it easy to set up and relax. Visitors have praised the cleanliness and friendliness of the park, noting the well-maintained amenities like the swimming pool, which is a godsend on those scorching desert days. The park also offers full hook-ups, including water, sewer, and electric, which is essential when the temperatures soar above 100 degrees.

One of the standout aspects of Desert View RV Resort is its proximity to Route 66, adding a touch of nostalgia to your stay. Plus, there's cheap gas and an RV self-wash station just across the border, making it convenient for travelers. If you're looking for a bite to eat, there's a great restaurant nearby called the Wagon Wheel.

The park is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. And while the internet might be just fair and cable can be hit or miss, the overall experience here is positive. The quiet atmosphere, especially in the back rows away from the road noise, makes for a peaceful retreat. So, if you're passing through or planning a longer stay, Desert View RV Resort is a solid choice.

Needles, CA….Would stay again

Very cute place. Sites have cement patios, there are colorful bushes that separate the sites. Fit our 42’ 5th wheel perfect. Nice pool and very clean and friendly park.

Second visit

Nice tall Oleander shrubs provide shade and privacy between sites. Generous sized pull through sites. This time we stayed in the back row (in front of the full timers) and it was so quiet. Previously we stayed near the office and could hear some road noise from I-40; much quieter in the back. Each site has a concrete patio. Grateful for Hook-ups as it has been over 100 degrees each time we've stayed and A/C is necessary. Quiet people camp here. Nice pool. Cheap gas, water jug station and RV self wash just across the border.

We’ll maintained with privacy bushes between sites.

We had a great experience here. Our trailer has a view of the landscape of palms and undeveloped land behind the park. All amenities were great! We were greeted by the host and lead to our site. Each site has a concrete pads. Internet was fair. We couldn’t get cable at our site.

Nice place, fair price

This campground has all large pull through sites with not quite level gravel pads. There is a paved “patio” area at each site. Sites are separated by a privacy hedge of oleander that also offers some shade. The pool is a nice relief from the desert heat. Basically a good place to stop in the middle of a hot and dry stretch of highway asking a reasonable price compared to the surrounding RV campgrounds.

Stay here, not the KOA nextdoor

Shady respite from the Mojave. Nice tall oleander shade hedges between each site offering total privacy. Long, flat pull through sites. Beautiful tiled private showers. Swimming pool is a must on hot Mojave days. Super nice management. Close to town for meals, shopping and cheap gas across the state line. Could hear big trucks on adjacent freeway but quiet enough for a good nights rest. Stay here....it looks tropical compared to the dry, dust, shadeless parking lot of a KOA next door.

Well the name says it all

Gravel roads and oleanders between each site for total privacy. You are in the desert but they have made this place feel like you are not in the desert. Each site is pull through and has a pavement slab for table or chairs, water, sewer and 50 amp hook ups. On property they offer showers, T-Mobile phone service, dump station, picnic tables, toilets, WiFi and trash. Pets are allowed! Yayyy... Reservations can be made.

Feels very private!

This site is a walk away from Needles KOA, so if you need anything small, it's a very short walk to their store (where they carry some foods and drinks).

This campground is also a very close walk to the Colorado River, and the River Front Cafe which has some pretty great food if you don't feel like you want to cook.

This campground has huge bushes and trees in between each RV station and gives you the feeling like it's totally private. It also gives you some extra sun protection and shade, making your camper feel cooler.

It has a pool and laundry mat on site, but I didn't see much else.
