What to do
Stargazing opportunities: Borrego Springs is a designated Dark Sky Community with exceptional night viewing. "We stayed at the Springs at Borrego many times with friends and always have a wonderful time. If you like to bike, this is a great spot, as the roads are very quiet," notes one visitor at The Springs at Borrego RV Resort.
Hiking trails: Multiple paths through desert terrain offer opportunities to see native plants and wildlife. "Borrego Springs is completely surrounded by Anza Borrego Desert State Park where there's tons of options for hiking, off roading, other camping, and general exploring," says a camper at Palm Canyon Hotel & RV Resort.
Golf courses: Several resorts feature well-maintained golf facilities. "Three of our party enjoyed the 9-hole golf course which is in excellent condition," mentions a review about The Springs at Borrego RV Resort and Golf Course.
What campers like
Resort amenities: Many locations offer pools, hot tubs, and recreation facilities. "We had access to a pool and hot tub which was great for daytime & nighttime relaxing. There are two pool areas, 'one for the hotel and one for the RV Park' but you can go to either," shares a reviewer at Palm Canyon Hotel & RV Resort.
Spacious sites: Campers appreciate parks with room to set up. "The camp sites are more spacious than I expected and have mature landscaping between sites. The grounds are immaculate!!!" notes a visitor to The Springs at Borrego RV Resort and Golf Course.
Local attractions: Easy access to nearby destinations enhances the experience. "Beautiful RV resort with short drives to the beach, San Diego, and casinos. Full hook ups, pool, dog walk," states a review from Escondido RV Resort.
What you should know
Weather considerations: Summer temperatures make camping challenging. "I wouldn't recommend planning your trip mid-May to mid-September as temperatures are dangerously high. It's quite lovely in the winter!" advises a camper at Palm Canyon Hotel & RV Resort.
Site differences: Quality and spacing vary significantly between parks and spaces. "Ramona Oaks is exactly what it says RV Resort, they do have 4 tent sites available which are ok just very rocky. One thing i didn't like was the tent sites being so close to the main road," reports a visitor to Ramona Oaks RV Resort.
Water quality issues: Some locations report problems with water supply. "Nice quiet and clean campground. With a lots of hiking trails and activities to do. The only downside is the drinking water has issues," notes a camper at Ramona Oaks RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Many resorts offer swimming facilities that appeal to children. "Amenities isn't all that great when they're not maintained well. Gym has damaged equipment, pool has lose hand rails and heated pool is filthy," cautions a reviewer at Circle RV Resort.
Playground availability: Some locations provide dedicated play areas. "They do have a nice playground for the kids," mentions a visitor to Ramona Oaks RV Resort.
Recreation options: Family-friendly activities vary by location. "Went camping in August, during a heatwave, and had Covid restrictions. Even with all of that, we had a good time! We were in spot 21 right by the pond. Camped in a tent trailer and had plenty of room to set up an outdoor sitting and cooking areas," shares a camper at Ramona Oaks RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Reservation timing: Popular locations fill quickly during peak seasons. "Reserve a year in advance if you want a site during the nicest months of the year (winter)," advises a visitor to Thompson Palms Campground.
Noise factors: Highway and train noise affects some parks. "The 8 freeway runs behind it so it's extremely noisy at all hours. Never saw anyone to talk with," reports a camper at Circle RV Resort.
Site leveling challenges: Uneven parking pads can create difficulties. "We unfortunately got one that was an end spot so it angled down to one side quite a bit. It was difficult for us to get level and costs us our 'patio' area since there wasn't enough room for our rug," notes a visitor at Palm Springs Oasis RV Resort.
