We checked out the website prior to booking and were planning on staying for a full week, which luckily didn’t pan out. When we checked in we were told we could only stay a night, despite having made a week-long reservation. Understandable given the circumstances, but it would’ve been prudent to inform of that fact on the website. The receptionist was helpful and gave us a number to another rv park in the proximity, which was sweet of her. The park seems to have good amenities, and there is a little dog park at the end of the lot and a pool by the office, but it is right next to a truck storage facility and right by the I10, so it isn’t the most tranquil. The website is slightly misleading, and I don’t think I would stay here more than a night or two.
The main attraction about this place is the host Christine. She was super sweet and even gave us a discount on our site, on account of how small our trailer is. True to the name, there is a big red barn that serves as both office and club house. Right next to the freeway and a stone’s throw away from gas stations/grocery stores, this is a great place to pull in for the night. There were picnic tables in several places to gather, and there was also laundry and showers.
We stayed here for one night on our trip and had a lovely stay. Definitely geared more towards people with bigger rigs, and a lot of the residents were long-term. Great laundry and bathrooms/showers. They also organize multiple community gatherings such as potlucks, discussion groups, organized golf and other activities. They also have a pool, which we sadly didn’t have time to enjoy. This RV park is located very close to several golf courses, which my fiancée greatly appreciated. Pet friendly as well. One thing I will say is that there is only one store in town (Del Sol) that sells propane (for stoves) so buying it before arriving is a good idea, as they were sold out when I tried to purchase some. Great nightly rates and close to the highway.
This campground is located about 12 minutes outside of Oracle, AZ and is a great place to go to disconnect (no cell reception). We spent two nights here and had a great time! The campground had bathrooms, running well water and bear safes, as well as campfire rings and picnic tables. There are some lovely hikes very close to the campsite, but we were unable to check them out since we have a dog with a hurt paw :( There’s abundant wildlife, and both mornings we woke up to the sound of wild turkeys checking out our setup. The fee is $15 per night, which you drop in a box at the entrance to the campground. We didn’t ever see a host, but it could be because of the season, considering we were basically alone the entire time. There is however a lot of traffic going through the campsite because of a school at the end, but the cars didn’t bother us (in fact they made us feel a little safer knowing there were other people around). The road going in is a dirt road and I would definitely not recommend trying it after a rain. P.S. Biosphere 2 is about 30 minutes from the campground and is definitely worth the visit!
This place has a great weekly rate ($35 per night) and great amenities. We got a site across from the laundry/pool/bathroom which was also not far from the dog park. We arrived on a Tuesday, so we got to spend a few quiet days before the weekend campers showed up which was nice. This is a very family friendly resort so on the weekends there are lots of families with kids. There are lots of activities such as mini golf, pickle ball, and shuffle board, just to name a few, but the main draw is definitely the pools. They’re fueled by the hot springs, so the pool is at about 90 degrees and the hot tub a bit hotter. They also recently opened a little convenience store where you can get the necessities such as ice and whatnot. Definitely would come back here!
We stayed here for a week and had a blast. We had a little trouble getting there and ended up taking a very strange road in, which wasn’t helped by the fact that we arrived around sundown, but as long as it’s not muddy there’s no problem. The road in seems like you’re about to arrive on someone’s farm, but just follow the directions either on the maps or from the website and you’ll be fine. We got a perfect site right by the lake across from the bathroom (port-a-potty). Everyone who stays there was super friendly and nice, and many of them had dogs which was a plus. There is a private landing strip very close by, and one of the nights there was a plane flying around over the lake way too late, but that comes with the territory. Bring bug spray
This camping site came in really handy for us as the official campgrounds in Joshua Tree park are closed due to Covid-19 regulations. We arrived right before sunset and were able to get a nice spot pretty distanced from other sites. The road in is VERY uneven so caution is advised. We drove in a Ford Explorer with a cricket trailer and managed fine but keep your eyes peeled and take it slow. There is little to no shade in the lakebed and there are lots of burrs and prickly things which should be kept in mind if you plan to bring your furry friends. There are some campfire rings in some of the sites which is nice and it seems that people have been very good at packing in and packing out. The sites were clean, although we did find some shotgun shells lying around. Cell reception was good for T-Mobile and Sprint. Would definitely come back, although probably at a warmer time of the year.
