Best RV Parks & Resorts near Calipatria, CA

272 Reviews

RV parks near Calipatria cater to various preferences, with Del Yermo RV Park directly in Calipatria offering electric hookups, sewer connections, and water hookups for self-contained units. Fountain of Youth Spa RV Resort in nearby Niland provides full hookup rv sites with 50-amp service, accommodating big rigs alongside picnic tables and resort amenities. Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort in El Centro features pull-through rv pads overlooking a pond, with sites generally separated by hedges for privacy. West Shores RV Park in Salton City remains open year-round with full hookups, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. "The pull throughs are limited with views of the pond and wide so plan ahead. The team there is welcoming and warm and very accommodating."

Most RV parks in the region require reservations, especially during winter months when snowbirds from Canada and northern states occupy many sites. Passport America discounts are accepted at some facilities, including Rio Bend which honors them throughout the week, though restrictions may apply to premium pull-through sites. Summer temperatures frequently exceed 110 degrees, making pool facilities less refreshing and causing some park amenities like restaurants and bars to close seasonally. Dump stations and shower facilities vary significantly between parks, with some offering clean, well-maintained facilities while others provide more basic services. Nearby attractions include the Salton Sea, off-road vehicle areas, and hot springs, though road noise from highways and occasional train traffic may affect certain camping locations.

    Cottonwood Campground — Joshua Tree National Park

    Very nice but small sites

    I really liked this campground. It’s one of the campground inside Joshua Tree NP and reservable through Recreation.gov. The sites are very private but they are small. Both the pull through and back in sites are small so this is definitely not for big rigs. We had A19 which is a pull through on the right side of the road and we had to go into the gravel part of the site so we would be in enough to open our driver side slide out. And we ended up pretty slanted as a result, but it fit. There are flush toilets that are very clean. This side of the park is very nice but most of the action is north of here and so we’re an hour drive to a lot of the hikes we want to do. No cell service at all.

    Tamarisk Grove Campground — Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

    Beautiful desert campground

    Cool campground, quiet but busy with day use visitors and hikers, host available with lots of info at kiosk. 

    A bit pricey at $35/night. No hookups available, no dump station. RV max length is 21 ft. Hike/bike spots $5/per person, day use fee is $10.

    No water here for drinking, but there are spigots throughout the campground. Showers available, pay via token. 

    Just about no cell service here. Very nice short loop trail just across the street, bursting with flowers in the spring.  Plenty of room to park your vehicle (even big rigs) outside the campground along the road.

    Leapin' Lizard RV Ranch

    Very clean and friendly

    Staying here for the fall, winter, spring season. The facilities are very clean with a beautiful pool and spa. The rates are reasonable especially if staying long term. It’s mostly quiet although there are off road vehicles around they’re not too irritating. There are occasional fireworks. It feels very safe here. Lots of shade.

    Cottonwood Campground — Joshua Tree National Park

    Beautiful landscape, so quiet.

    Beautiful campsite. No Joshua Trees on this side of the park, but beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Sites are a bit narrow for big rigs with slides, but we made it happen with our class A super slide.

    Walter's Camp RV Park & Campground

    Nice off the beaten path

    Not the fanciest but it was a nice quiet area with full hookups. Only $40 a night included utilities and WiFi. We saw some wildlife. Nice little hike in the scrub pines. Close to town but far enough to feel like we were away from it all. Smaller park. I think 44 spaces. They had laundry room I didn’t use. Sell Propane if you need it. Offered bathrooms and showers but didn’t look very clean so I used my own since water was hooked up.

    Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort

    Perfect for Snow Birds and winter get-aways

    We have stayed here a few times now.  The best times are during the fall and winter months as the park welcomes back its community of Snow Birds coming from Canada and the northern US.  During those times the atmosphere in the evening is always festive, often with live music and an outdoor bar.  The staff are pleasant and accommodating.   It is also a pretty good overnight spot if you are passing through in the summer, but the temperatures in this area soar during the summer and are frequently above 110 degrees.  During summer time the pool becomes too warm to be refreshing, and the restaurant and bar are closed.  The rates are much lower in the summer.  This is also one of the few parks that accepts Passport America all days of the week.  Note that Passport America discounts cannot be used with pull-through sites.  The sites are fairly spacious and generally separated by hedges so you are not looking directly at your neighbor's rig.  Scenery around the park is beautiful any time of year, and for those who enjoy the RV Resort lifestyle the only reason to go out of the park during the snow bird season is for groceries.

    Mojos Slab Camp

    Mojo is the best

    This is the perfect spot if you are planning to stay in slab city. Either for short or long term it is nice to be able to show up to an established camp. Mojo is the coolest person. Super nice and knows how to run a good camp. Lots of interesting people to talk to, it’s a very community oriented camp so plan to make some friends while you are there! We sat by the fire morning and night with the crew there and got to hear some amazing stories. Bathrooms and a kitchen are available so no need to be fully contained. Please be respectful if you go. This place is awesome and the vibe is awesome. Please don’t disturb that! There are lots of local dogs running around. All the ones we met were super friendly but keep that in mind if you have a dog or are afraid of them.

    Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort

    Convenient and clean, nice park

    We only stayed one night in a pull through but enjoyed the facilities. Park is very clean and has a good restaurant. They do have a lot of mobile homes but most are newer and well kept. Some RV’s look abandoned which is a shame. Nice dog park area with grass, could use water for the pups. Laundry and bathrooms were very clean. Pool area and restaurant, bar area is nice. We had dinner, wing’s were great burger was good but not great. Service was very good. Pull through site was narrow but had all we needed for one night. Looks like the workout facility is nice.

    Chiriaco Summit Dry Camp Area

    No Complaints

    Close to I-10, but a private property with designated spots right next to a local diner and truck stop. Wi-Fi at the diner, restrooms and trash at the truck stop, reliable cell service everywhere. No dump station that I saw personally, and no site manager came to check in on me like in other reviews. It really is perfect as a boondocker's gift. A f!ck ton of WW2 tanks will greet you on your way in though. Best of luck navigating those! 🤞
