    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.

    Adelanto RV Park

    RV park but accommodates one night

    RV Park full of residence and full timers. Will accommodate one or more nights. Good place to recharge and do laundry. Everything looks mostly clean and the pool was nice too. Small dog park with real grass.

    Launch Pointe Recreation Destination and RV Park

    Nicest cleanest campground

    I had site 126 in the fields, corner site and lake view. This campground has a pool, splash pad, park, dog park and access to the lake. They also have a band on Saturday nights. The only bad part is they strictly enforce quiet time at 10pm. I felt like a kid being told to go to bed. I feel like on weekends people should be able to stay up late in front of their camper with low voices. Shouldn’t be hounded night after night! That was my only complaint.

    Barstow-Calico KOA

    Great stop on a cross country journey

    I’m just stopping to sleep, but this campground has friendly staff and good amenities. I’m parked under a canopy of trees, which must help on hot summer days.

    They had a general store, bath houses, cabins, dog park and more.

    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.

    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.

    Pioneertown Corrals

    No frills, just convenience

    We took 2 vans up for just one night and it really was a great time! The campsite itself is no frills. Basically a huge dirt lot. Each spot has a picnic table. No hookups. There was 2 toilets near by which were clean! The price is steep for what it is, but you’re paying for the convenience of being literally in the town. We had a great dinner at Pappy & Harriet’s and then watched live music at the Red Dog Saloon. Red Dog is pet friendly, we could bring our dog right to the bar - the breakfast there is also awesome! It was fun to walk around the town at night!

    Palm View RV Park

    This place is good

    This is our 2nd time here it's quiet and they have the most interesting walkabout garden with little kickbacks where u can chill with whoever. If you don't have anybody walk on over next to the garden to find some nice goats and sheep and up on the little hill there's cute chickens of all whom can be pet as for they are all used to being pet. We bought some food that we feed them.
