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!

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). We were visiting family who were just a short bike ride away. Can be extremely windy here. Desert X environmental art installations are nearby.
Guide
We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting our parents who live in Rancho Mirage. The resort is extremely clean, well-maintained, and quiet. We are normally boondockers, so it felt decadent having full hookups, daily trash pickup, and all the rest of Emerald Desert's amenities such as sparkling swimming pools, daily activities, free Saturday Continental Breakfast, etc.
We upgraded to the"luxury" site which meant that the spacing between sites was a bit greater and we had a lovely patch of green grass between us and our neighbors. We have a very small trailer, so our only issue was the distance from our sewer connection and the resort's. With so many nearby stores, it just took a quick online order for curbside pickup at Wal-Mart for extra hose and we were good-to-go. Literally.
As others have mentioned, Interstate 10 and a set of major East-West train tracks lie right behind the resort, but neither were very disruptive to us. YMMV.
We will absolutely stay here again and again, and we highly recommend it to others. In fact, we challenge you to find a nicer RV resort anywhere else!

The spots were very and there was not any grass for our dogs. We moved to Shadowhills RV Resort and loved it...great place for us and the dogs.

Hot spring campground in the Anza desert. Such a great place to come and reset from busy day to day hustle. Peaceful and clean, with cabins for those who dont tent or trailer camp.
Guide
This is one of my favorite Thousand Trails. The pool is really nice and the grounds beautiful with all the date palm trees. We've met other nice campers and there are families with kids and retirees. The City of Palm Desert has a beautiful public park with pickle ball and lake. Great dining and shopping in the area. Lots of hikes and recreation areas.'
ScoutPretty steep rates if not a Thousand Trails Trails Collection member. 2 pools (1 adults only & hot tub, other for families). shuffle board, access to neighboring upscale mobile home park amenities, another pool, work out room, tennis courts and golf. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, cinema, bikable town and transit if you don't have a toad/small vehicle. Limited availability for over 38', easy last minute reservations >=35'
Guide
Lovely place. Feels much further away than it actually was, which is great when you’re traveling with young kids! Awesome playground only a short walk from our trailer camp spot (#16 which had a huge tree that made parking a little tricky) that had a great little secluded table/fire ring spot! Good hikes as well!
RangerThousand Trails Palm Springs offers a great pool and hot tub area with a lively, mixed-age crowd—perfect if you’re in your 30s and looking for variety. The bathrooms and laundry facilities are well-maintained, and the location is unbeatable for exploring Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, conveniently situated right off the highway. However, the park is busy and crowded, with plenty of palm trees and tight spots that can be tricky for larger rigs. Electrical maintenance during our stay further limited site availability, adding to the congestion. Despite the challenges, the proximity to local attractions makes it a convenient option.
Make sure you have your registration and insurance handy when you arrive.

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.
GuideThis is a great location if you are a Thousand trails member well worth it. If laying nightly defiantly better options for nightly rates. This is a very popular park and they do have stricter rules than other TT parks. The staff have always been friendly and easy going. The area park is next to I10 and does have lots of road noise, also a good amount of riff raff and homeless near by. The park does keep security tight as a precaution. Park is covered with palm trees and a few citrus trees you can pick from. Lots of stuff to do/see in surrounding areas. Would recommend if you are a TT member. Park is seasonal and not open year round.

A beautiful RV resort, stayed pretty dispersed by staying in couple tent sites.
Wouldn’t come again this time of year without a heater, as it got uncomfortably cold at night. But the bathrooms are kept warm and very clean. The lodge is also warm and clean, worked out of there a couple of mornings, and the Wi-Fi was actually decent.
Guide
Quiet campground with nice sites for tents or RVs. Dogs allowed. Hiking and fishing. Near Idyllwild for day trips. No dump or full hook ups
Traveler
This RV resort does not allow tents, although their website shows photos of tents and does not make this clear. While the amenities are nice, the atmosphere was not friendly and we were made to move sites in the middle of a 2 night stay for no reason. The pool was nice on a hot day and the bathrooms were clean, but all in all not worth the price tag.

This is a beautiful luxury RV resort in Borrego Springs, a desert community in San Diego County that's known for its unique metal sculptures, golf resorts, and beautiful hiking trails. We really enjoyed our stay at the Springs, especially the pool area and multiple hot mineral baths on the premises. They also have a little fishing pond, golf course, pickle ball and a wellness center where you can even get a massage. As a Designated Dark Sky Community, this is a great place to do some stargazing as well. While you're here, I recommend a day trip to Julian, a little ghost town that's known for their fabulous pies!
Traveler
The scenery is incredible and varied from deeply forested to open meadow. There are miles of hiking trails. The campground layout is nice and for many of the loops it is possible to find a site that feels separated from your fellow campers. This place fills up during the weekends in the spring through fall seasons, so book sites early on recreation.gov. As implied by my title, there are no hookups here so any RV camping is dry camping. For RVs with a good solar array, it is possible to find open spots that keep the energy flowing throughout the day. There is one loop dedicated to longer RVs. As a personal note, I don't recommend Site 62 for RV camping - it is angled and has some erosion issues coming off of the asphalt pad. I have been to this campground several times as both a tent camper and an RV camper and have not had any problems with cleanliness of the facilities or excessively noisy neighbors.
Guide
Full hook up. California State Park… so safe. The lake is improving but not safe yet. Fishing has Improved. There are three separate campgrounds in this park. Flies can be a problem but not this time because of wind. View is outstanding
GuideWe stayed for a couple of nights and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Full hook up sites, pull through and back on. I will be back!
Guide
Me and my husband camped here for about five days we are in spot 42 lots of room back in plus pull in spots full hook ups has paddle boats fishing and spots to walk your dog
Traveler
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.
Guide
This is a great out of the way spot for great camping and hot springs to enjoy and pools. The have a small cafe on site. You can take your ATVs, quads, motorcycles, etc. out there and there are tons of trails to explore. They also rent wagon cabins that look great. Full hook ups.
Guide
We stayed at Sky Valley in January, February, April and May. It's a lovely location with almost perfect weather in the winter. April very windy and May, it starts getting hotter. However, you can take the tram up majestic Mt. San Jacinto, about 1/2 hour away, and hike in the cool forest there. Joshua Tree entrances are within the hour to get to. The Coachella Valley preserve is just a few minutes drive from Sky Valley and is a delightful walk among Palm trees and springs. Sky Valley RV resort has nice places to walk, plus a great little market with fresh baked goods, soft serve ice cream and other items. Once a week, a farmer's market sets up near the entrance and they offer all kinds of produce, local and more. We didn't try the spring-fed pools until second trip - wow! So soothing and temperature slightly varies but not too hot or too cold. Swimming felt really good. Sites are pretty well maintained. First site on level gravel, good power, water pressure decent. They have a mailroom with nice staff, laundry rooms have ample machines and they have fitness center, which we haven't tried yet. People are pretty friendly here, a nice community.
Guide
Open parking lot available for camping at the American Legion in Borrego Springs for military veterans. Some spots have full hook ups. Minimal cost to stay there. Think it's 5 or 10 bucks. They have a flush toilet, shower and, of course, a bar. Cash only for the booze and dinners.
I like staying here during the Tierra del Sol event. Close enough to access TDS and far enough away from the craziness.
Traveler
Nice park, pricey, dry camp on lake with water $65.00 and $85.00 for full hook ups but shoved into one area with some lake views. The great thing that rang my bell was the camp host, Bill, who actually came to every site and introduced himself to everyone and instead of running down a bunch of rules he just asked what ever you may need or concern let him know, and with a smile when thru the camp ground 5 stars!
Guide
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.
