Palm Springs-Joshua Tree KOA

Checkin was easy and friendly. Sites were huge. As all parks are in AZ and Palm Springs, it’s all sand and gravel. Not a sprig of grass which makes it difficult to get dogs to pee and it tracks in SO BAD! ALSO not the parks fault but 2 small trailers pulled in next to us around 10 pm and had lots of people and lots of kids. It was noisy and they were using what sounded like power tools for some reason. They were clearly together as doors faced one another. If they had been longer it wouldn’t have been an issue but when you stepped out of our MH there they were up close and personal. We had absolutely no privacy as everyone one faced our camper. It was just I’ve big happy family. NOT!

Nice. Not up to KOA standards for the price.

I don’t tend to stay at KOAs but this one may change my mind. We got a spot that was big enough for two camper vans (promaster and express). The hot tubs were awesome. They even had a haunted house and hayride for the kids. Super cool spot.

Way too windy. We had tents and trailers. None of us slept. The trailer rocked horribly and the tents were filled with dirts. The yurts walls were impacted by the wind and the maintenance people were out trying to fix them.

The good was the maintenance crew is attentive. The pools and hot tubs are great. The list of activities were such a nice touch. The staff are all so kind and accommodating. The sites are all very large, from tents to RV sites.

The KOA is reasonably priced for KOA and California. 3 hot spring tubs. Pool is warm and wall stops wind. Many activities for kids miniature golf, jump board, play ground. Many activities for adults as well the staff are very nice and helpful.

Had a wonderful time with the kids and our two doggos here! Great dog park, family friendly and the hot springs was just perfect for all of us. Even have 3 temperatures so the kids can enjoy hot springs too! Thanks for a wonderful stay! We’re here last week of March 2024.

This campground is in a great location between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. The site was large and we had no one around us, though there is no privacy. The sites were very dusty, with little to no gravel. The best thing about the place (besides the location) were the natural hot springs hot tubs—three of them! For the price, this place cannot be beat!

30 minutes to downtown. Amenities are nice if and when available.

Good place for one night. Your basic giant dusty parking lot KOA. spaces close together with very little shade. VERY HOT in mid October. But the pool is great, and there are three hot pools—different temperatures drawn from different depths of a natural hot spring. That makes it worth the price. NnThere is a laundromat

Nice cashier all friendly cheap prieces and lot of Space

We took a break from dry camping to stop here and recharge. Easy spots and not as large as some KOA (which was good). Private hot showers that you accessed with a free code. The wifi was pretty good too. There was a 9 hole mini golf and playground for the kids too. Great views of the mountains.

Quiet, clean and easy to get into spaces. Host was very accommodating and campground was well run. Highly recommend.

Just a huge lot with lots of spaces! We got put waaaay in the back away from everything, but the whole place wasn't very busy!

Easy check in. Great level sites. Geothermal pool and spas. 90, 100 and 104 degrees heated in December!!

Lots of activities for kids, nice pool and hot tubs, overall great time!

Was a clean place to stay overnight, wouldn’t go back in case we would visit the area. Luckily there were many open campsites, so we had open space next to it. The spaces are tiny.

Tent sites were massive, basically could be used for RV as well. Everything on the grounds were nice and as expected with KOA quality but the price is a bit much for tent camping.

Nice facility. Takes all types of campers. Plenty of stuff to do behind the walls, mini golf, dog kamp, pool, hot tubs, games, game room... Nice shower house and bathrooms. Camp store is a little small but has the essentials. Nice to be escorted to the camp site. No fires except propane. Winds are always too high. High winds made for comfortable time outside.

Large spacious sites. Clean restrooms and showers.

Overall- convenient and clean place to stay if looking for a place to stay in Southern CA and want to head into Joshua Tree, The Living Desert Zoo or check out anything else in the area. The sites themselves are easy to navigate into. Nice wide streets. Some fun things on site like miniature golf and bike rentals and the pool area is a relatively nice size (we just checked it out - didn’t end up using it).

Where it is lacking and needs some work:

• Sites are not level. *Our dump hookup ended up being uphill so one has to milk the house to empty (our neighbors had the same situation.) *The entrance into the KOA - if coming in and making a right - be careful as you essentially end up making a U-turn around a rock wall and into the park. Just a funky entrance.

Would give it 3.5 Stars. 👍

KOA campground with very very clean it was pretty empty when we stayed at the KOA . the staff being a little bit rude to a family that had travel to stay in the cabin it was a family of six in the cabin of 4 kick them out without giving them any break felt bad for them.

Very nice hot tubs and swimming pool

Remember KOAS are independently owned and operated..DID NOT care for this location..old park...many dysfunctional sewer connections.. management didn't provide a viable solution for connection. I had to buy one to make it work.. bathrooms were dated and smelled funky.
