Desert View RV Resort accommodates RVs up to 60 feet with full hookups on gravel roads that connect to what was once part of old Route 66. GPS navigation can prove challenging, as Bosn E. notes: "Our GPS vectored us in circles until it got it right. So be warned." The resort sits adjacent to Needles KOA, making it easy to spot for travelers familiar with the area.
Tall oleander hedges separate each pull-through site, creating natural barriers between neighbors while providing shade in the desert heat. Each site includes a concrete patio pad for outdoor furniture and full utility connections. The oleanders require caution around pets, as management clearly marks their poisonous nature. Highway noise from I-40, located about half a mile away, carries across the property, though campers report the back rows offer quieter conditions than sites near the office.
The property features a swimming pool, laundry facility with four washers and four dryers, and a dog washing station that campers find convenient. WiFi service varies by site, with some guests relying on cellular hotspots instead. The resort allows pets and accepts reservations, though early arrival before the 2 PM check-in time incurs additional fees. matt H. describes it as "a quiet little mom and pop campground" with facilities that are "well kept and clean."
Fuel costs less across the Arizona border about two miles away, and Walmart provides supplies in nearby Mojave Valley. The Wagon Wheel restaurant sits roughly a mile from the resort for dining out. Campers seeking riverside access can walk to the Colorado River and River Front Cafe, while those wanting additional amenities can explore places to camp around Needles or visit Fenders River Road Resort for a different riverside experience.
