I stayed here for one night in a 22’ RV at one of the back-in sites for the shorter term stays on a drive from Death Valley back towards the San Francisco Bay area. I believe the office is currently closed due to Covid, but they have a box of maps and envelopes plus a drop box for payment right outside the office.

It looks like most of the spots here are for pretty long term stays. There was plenty for space for short term, overnight campers. Spot comes with WiFi code, but there’s plenty of cell service too. You’re close to the I5 and can hear the soft lull of some traffic, but it’s still fairly quiet.

Stayed for two nights in a 22’ RV at one of the full hook-up sites. Next time I come back to Death Valley, either RV or tent, I’ll probably stay here.

Location is amazing. There’s a gas station and general store close by to pick up any supplies you’d need. About a 30 minute drive from the Mesquite sand dunes and Mosaic Canyon, about 20 minutes from Artist’s Drive, 25-30 minutes from Badwater Basin, 10 minutes from Zabriskie Point. You’re close to tons of things but we also got killer night skies once we walked a couple minutes away from our campsite.

No wifi, expect limited cell service. You can make reservations online.

We stayed here for one night on our way to a campsite inside Death Valley NP. Location is about an hour outside the park in a tiny little town that’s pretty quiet. They do have a Chevron and a diner that probably covers most traveler’s needs. It’s also situated in a beautiful area with gorgeous mountain views.

We stayed in a 22 foot RV at one of the hookup sites, they also have several tent sites and a few cabin spots. There’s a naturally heated pool, which looked pretty nice but we chose not to use for COVID reasons. The whole camp was super quiet while we were there with not many other campers. Weather was great this time of year. I would probably stay here again.

If you haven’t been, Salton Sea is a really interesting destination. I want to describe it as a little bit spooky. If you’re looking for a campsite off the beaten path with gorgeous views and some unique exploring nearby, this is it.

I stayed here in a 22 foot RV at one of the hookup sites. It was essentially the back of the massive parking lot to the visitors center, which is currently closed due to COVID. You can tell this place was wonderful hopping but has now slowed down in traffic quite a bit.

The lake is so still, it’s beautiful. Lots of waterfowl right on the beach. Gorgeous sunsets over the mountains across the lake as well. Occasionally the lake gave off a bit of a sulfur-y smell, but that wasn’t a deal breaker by any means.

If you’ve got time for it, stay here. It’s cool and weird. Take some time to walk around the visitor area to read the info panels or do a little research to learn some more about this cool and weird place.

This KOA is massive. It’s a little on the expensive side, but there weren’t any other campsites in the area that fit what we were looking for. I typically like to be in more primitive sites, but this was an experience.

Check-in was a breeze. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our site had patio furniture and a fireplace, and we had some firewood delivered to our site. They have a restaurant on site that can deliver BBQ to your camp. It was amazing. Food and drinks were great, and it was nice to take a break from cooking for a day.

The whole KOA is filled with citrus trees. Sites are a little close together, but we had enough space for ourselves. Our neighbors were really friendly too. There were a handful of kiddos around, a couple walked through our site which we were okay with but if you’ree looking to avoid kids this might not be your spot.

Location is super close to the east side of Seguaro NP and probably 45 minutes from the west side. Lots of grocery stores nearby if you need to load up on provisions. Tucson sunsets are also just gorgeous.

Would maybe stay again if I was in the area and didn’t mind shelling out the dough.

I stayed here for two nights while I was in the Phoenix area after having to reroute a trip due to unexpected winter weather at my original destination. I camped in a 22 foot rental motor home.

This was my first KOA experience, and it was such a delight. I arrived after hours, but some of the staff still on site saw me grab my check in materials at the office. He lead me to my sight in his golf cart, helped us get backed in and all settled for the night. Staff called the next morning to finish check in and verify our stay info. The staff this whole stay was so kind, it was amazing.

Our site (I believe most as well) was gravel but naturally pretty level. We had plenty of space between us and adjacent sites. The whole KOA has some nice touches as far as landscaping, sites with grills, etc. Very clean and well kept.

Location is about 45 minutes from Phoenix, which was perfect for us. We spent a little time in old town Scottsdale as well which is about the same distance. I would 100% stay here again if I’m in the area.

I had planned on staying here for two nights for a visit to the Grand Canyon, but winter got the best of me and my plans so I only ended up here a single night. You can make reservations online in advance. I ended up with site #2. Sites are pretty close together, and you don’t have much distance between you and the main highway. They do have a propane fill up which is very handy. This site is probably the closest you can get to the Grand Canyon without actually being on park premises. About 45 minutes from the south rim entrance. If I had to pick and do it all again, I’d probably stay somewhere in the park. But this stop served it’s purposes for me just fine.

This was my first time staying at one of these big RV resorts with all the bells and whistles you could possibly need from the place. The pool/spa is currently open, which is a little surprising considering pandemic restrictions so we chose to abstain. We had a nice back-in site. Sites are pretty close together but divided by tall hedges that make for good privacy. It was a little loud our first night from other campers and dogs, but the second night was much quieter. You don’t get many good views inside the RV park gates, but once you walk out there driveway and along the street you can actually get some good mountain views on clear days.

This spot is about an hour from both the west and the south entrances of Joshua Tree.

Stayed here a single night on my way through the Bakersfield area. This RV park has everything you’re going to need and nothing more. An overwhelming majority of the spaces are for monthly residents, and you can tell most of the campers there are seasoned veterans. Right now the office is closed, I believe due to Covid, so you just fill out a form and drop it in a mail slot then pick out one of the sites. The area is quiet enough, but you can definitely hear the soft whir of cars on the highway close by. Camp seems dog friendly with a couple of very small fenced in grassy patches for pets to relieve themselves. There really isn’t much in the area in the way of markets or grocery stores.

This location is a perfect place to stay for a Yellowstone visit. My partner and I were just passing through Yellowstone for the day coming up from the Tetons and booked a single night here to crash after. It’s really close to the west entrance to the park. Amenities here were great, and everything was really nice and quiet at night. It’s also about a 13 minute walk from the bustle of West Yellowstone which has some cute souvenir shopping and local restaurants. I’d absolutely stay here again.

This RV park is right outside of the Grand Tetons park, maybe a 20-30 minute drive from the park closest entrance. It’s a great location, so it fills up fairly quickly. I recommend reserving online beforehand if you can, especially if you’re gunning for one of the full hookup sites. I think I read a review that said you could see the mountain range from here, that may be true but right now there’s too much wildfire smoke, you have to get much closer to see even the outline of the Tetons.

Overall, this is a nice quiet campsite. I’d stay here again for its great location and the fact that I can reserve it online before my trip, most campsites inside the park are first-come-first-served.

We stayed here at one of the full service pull through sites with a 19’ RV that we were renting. We arrived around 8:30pm and there was still someone at the registration desk to check us in. You can make reservations online beforehand. Our site had electric/water/sewage hookups. The community bathrooms/showers looked really nice and clean. Location was quiet. If I pass through again, I’d stay here another time.
