We stopped here, off I80, on our way east from California. It was convenient. We were the only campers, as it is off season. I used The online reservation system, but chose to stay in an alternate site, because ours wasn’t level. Our other site was listed as a pull-thru, but it’s good no one else was there, because it wasn’t long enough for our 45’ rig and our tow vehicle. So I’d caution other big rigs that they might have to unhook their tow vehicle at this park, depending on how full it is.
The lots are paved, nice and wide. The location, close to Breckinridge, is very nice. But there were a few things that I found just awful— particularly for a campground that costs over $100 per night. First, the dog run had dog feces everywhere. Piles of it. Second, I saw dog droppings on my walks. And most importantly, our lot was filthy. Full poop bags along the stones, dental floss picks - and I’m talking 6-8, just dropped at the back of the lot. And leaves and dirt everywhere. Very disappointed!
The pros: elite sites are nice with two concrete pads and turf. You park on gravel, but the rest is nice. The people are friendly, but the front desk could be friendlier. They also have two nice dog parks. The sunset view is lovely. All streets are paved. The cons: this area can get VERY windy. So windy, that we closed our slides on two,occasions during our two weeks stay. The sites are also close together. We wanted to to spend a lot of time in Palm Springs and found the distance too far. There is really nothing in Desert Hot Springs except a burger joint and a small breakfast cafe. The biggest problem with this place is the exit area. There is a huge dip in the road. We scraped a bit (45’ MH) and I saw many other TTS and 5th wheels scrape bottom. This needs to be fixed.
This campground is very easy to get to from I-40. Check in was very efficient…they even called me to see when we’d be arriving in case we needed self check-in.
Three nice dog parks. We stayed in a pull through site, and it was all gravel, but very easy to get to. Sites were a little too close for my liking.
This is exactly how I thought this park would be. If you want green grass and paved sites, then this place is not for you. But if you want something creative and beautiful, with wonderful vistas, then stop here for a few days.
The Wi-Fi was surprisingly fast and the staff was so nice. There are metal art pieces throughout the park, and a great dog park.
I can’t wait to come back!
This campground is very convenient if you’re looking for a quick stay during a trip. It’s just a short hop off the highway, yet the road noise wasn’t bad. Barb, one of the owners was very helpful and nice. The ground was very squishy due to melted snow and a lot of rain. And Barb apologized for that, even though it’s not her fault. Did not use the facilities. It’s big rig friendly and has pull through sites.
