Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Bermuda Dunes, CA

Thousand Trails Palm Springs accommodates pets at cabins and RV sites with nearby fenced pet exercise areas. Dogs are welcome throughout the park's palm-tree lined pathways, though some visitors report thorns in grassy areas can stick to pets' paws during walks. Shadow Hills RV Resort and Catalina Spa and RV Resort also offer pet-friendly accommodations including cabins and tent camping options. The well-maintained grounds at these facilities provide comfortable environments for pets, though guests should be prepared for specific park rules regarding leash requirements. Some campers note security patrols are regular at these facilities, providing peace of mind when walking dogs during evening hours.

Multiple hiking trails accessible from these pet-friendly campgrounds allow dogs to explore desert landscapes. Joshua Tree National Park campgrounds including Jumbo Rocks, Ryan, Black Rock Canyon, and Indian Cove permit leashed pets in developed areas, though dogs are prohibited on trails within the park. Lake Cahuilla offers alternatives where dogs can enjoy shoreline walks with proper restraint. The Palm Springs area experiences extreme summer heat that can be dangerous for pets, with ground temperatures often too hot for paw pads. Visitors camping with pets during warmer months should plan activities during cooler morning hours and ensure adequate water supply. Winter months provide ideal temperatures for pet-friendly camping adventures in the Bermuda Dunes vicinity.

    Catalina Spa and RV Resort

    Adequate & ok for an overnight stop

    Not a very attractive drive in. Lots and lots of trash in the shrubbery and fields along the highway. Reservation and check in was easy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The RV park itself is attractive and seems to be fairly well maintained. It seems there are two rv areas. A lower older area and an upper newer and more attractive area. We were in the older area. Site was gravel with a small concrete area. Unfortunately, no one there seems to care about the dog poop everywhere (not exaggerating!). We and the people behind us parking had to clean dog poop off our site before we could set up. When walking our dog we saw poop everywhere. Dog park was ok, but on the small side and would be better with a gravel base instead of the dirt (very, very dusty and results in a dirty, dusty dog). There is a huge field adjacent and owned by the rv park that you can walk and or run your dog. But also full of poop. Bathroom smaller, older in the lower area. Much nicer, more modern bathrooms in the newer area. Two laundry rooms but no front loaders and the older laundry room only had two washers and two dryers. Can use quarters or an app. Pool and spa seemed pretty popular but we didn’t use. Area could really use some lighting at night. Very dark with minimal lighting in the older section. Trash is picked up every morning if you leave outside your site.

    Excellent little getaway with animals!

    Our family of 3 just left the campground this morning, and we had a great time during our 1 night stay.  To find it, just plug the GPS coordinates into Google maps and follow the instructions.  It’s fairly primitive (outhouse and water spigot), but the sky is clear and the whole place is very serene with trees and nature. They have several protective, very human-friendly dogs on the property.  They also open the barn around 0800 and allow campers to pet the rabbits, chickens, cats, pigs, turkey, ducks, and even feed the goats.  Sites have campfire rings (bring your own wood), picnic table, and a couple Adirondack style chairs.  The staff is also very friendly and informative.  We will certainly be back.

    Golden Village Palms RV Resort

    Don't Let the Town Deter You!

    Being reasonably close to our home base, we frequent this park with the family. Major grocery and shopping establishments are nearby, with Target directly across the street, In-n-Out, local parks, and the like. Our kids love the pool area, grandparents love the pickleball courts, and there are always fun activities to do throughout the year. Full-timers are friendly and inclusive of newcomers and passer-throughs. Dog parks are clean and located at either corner of the park. The entrance security kiosk is staffed 24/7, and they'll even help spot you while parking your rig. We cannot say enough good things about this place. 

    Check their website for events and specials.

    Shadow Hills RV Resort is a stellar urban RV resort with all the amenities. Full hookups, daily trash pickups at each site, cable tv, large level pads with privacy hedge, small dog parks scattered throughout, gated security, nice restrooms w/ showers (free).

    Banning Stagecoach KOA

    Small campground in a quiet area

    This campground was small, but cozy. They have an unheated pool (which looked a little dirty) no hot tub, and about 3 recreational rooms. One had a pool table with a comfy looking couch, and the other had tables for card playing.

    There was a dog park outside, but not much more. There was a picnic table and a grill in just about every spot.

    Water pressure was fantastic, and I got t-mobile cell service here.

    Thousand Trails Palm Springs

    Lovely TT RV Resort!!!

    The is a beautiful Thousand Trails RV Resort in Palm Springs, California! The park is large, very spacious and so clean! The gorgeous Palm trees are a little bit of a parking hazard, but they were here before we were! 😊 And besides, they are so beautiful to look at every day. The park feels like a day on beach with white sand to park on in most spaces, towering Palm trees, and brightly colored tropical flowers. What a treat in the winter! We are here in November and December and daytime high’s are in the low 80’s. The park is split in half with one side 30 amp FHU and the other half 50 amp FHU. For TT members, there is not an additional charge for 50 amp. Quite a deal! There is plenty of room to get out and walk in this park, along with a nice dog park, playground, billiards room, swimming pool and spa, horseshoes, 8 pickle ball courts, many laundry rooms and restrooms, and community recreation room. The surrounding mountains ranges are pretty amazing, too. This park is close to it all in the Palm Springs area and everything is within a short drive. Joshua Tree National Park and the Salton Sea is just over a half hour away. The Thousand Trails Palm Springs RV Resort is perfect and we will definitely be visiting again!

    Nice getaway

    THEY HAVE SELF CHECKIN, for after hours I think that’s something everyone must know, especially if you can’t get ahold of them. We stopped for one night, we thought about staying another but we just wanted to get home. We had no complaints, other than the bathrooms were closed, but I was atleast warned about that when I called. I got cellphone service. The pool seemed very nice & clean. The dog park was honestly amazing, I loved it & then dogs loved it.
