Several RV parks surround the Salton City area, offering spaces for recreational vehicles of all sizes. West Shores RV Park & Storage provides full hookups with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections on paved sites that accommodate large motorhomes. "Pretty interesting RV park there are people with sail kites and they have two stroke engines strapped to their back or like go karts some of them, and they're flying with a propeller on the engine," notes one visitor about the unique recreational activities at West Shores. Oasis Palms RV Resort, located near Thermal, features electric and water hookups with 50-amp service and boat access, though reviews indicate water quality issues with warnings about excessive arsenic and fluoride levels. The Fountain of Youth Spa RV Resort in Niland provides concrete pads with full hookup sites, picnic tables, and big-rig friendly access.
For travel planning purposes, most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though summer temperatures regularly exceed 110°F, making winter the preferred season for many travelers. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with better coverage reported near highway corridors and diminished signals in more remote locations. Dump stations are available at most established RV resorts, eliminating the need to travel with full tanks. Pet policies generally allow dogs at all parks, though some may have breed or size restrictions. Several reviewers mentioned the importance of bringing drinking water, as one camper noted: "The water is safe for bathing and dishes but does have a large amount of sediment and discoloration." Advance reservations are highly recommended during winter months when snowbirds frequently fill available spaces.

GuideJoshua Tree South Entrance
So many spots, great for every vehicle
There were soooo many spots to pick from easily at least 75+ if you drive all the way down. The road is gravel and was easy in our mini van, crowded of course but hey it’s right near the entrance of a national park

Matthew E.ScoutBelle Campground — Joshua Tree National Park
A Good Campground During the Week
I discovered this campground in Joshua Tree when the campground I had grown used to staying at (Ryan) went reserved only. Belle is on a first come, first serve basis, so there's no reservations involved. Roughly east of the campground is a trail that leads to the next one down, White Tank, which is popular because of the natural arch that can be found a short distance from the campsites. Belle itself has 18 campsites which are mostly empty during the week. Weekends are busy though as campers are usually jockeying for a site starting on Thursday nights. All in all, a beautiful place that offers splendid views and clear, crisp nights. Campers beware as it can get very windy at times. Vault toilets and campfire rings, but no accessible water.

LegendBelle Campground — Joshua Tree National Park
This was our first trip to Joshua Tree. We thoroughly enjoyed this first come first serve campground. The awesome walks into the park and desert landscape make this a place we will definitely return to. Beautiful night sky and stars . The Granite boulders are beautiful!

Beverley G.GuideBashford's Hot Mineral Spa
Friendly and laid back, a great place to visit in Winter
I've stayed at Bashford's a number of times since 2023, in Fall/Winter. I love that you can get into the hot spring tubs any time of day or night, and they also have a nice pool. I've stayed there for a month a couple of times which works out very cost effective. It's near Bombay Beach and the Ski Inn; it's a no frills easy going vibe.
