The sites here are huge, both wide and long, making it super easy to get in and out. We found our site to be plenty level, as well. There is some foliage between sites, providing minimal privacy, but all in all the park is pretty open. That is probably the only disappointment in the place -- but it's the desert, after all!
The hot springs are nice, with a large warm swimming pool and 3 smaller hot tubs with different temperatures of water, each hotter than the last The pools aren't 24 hours, but they're open til 10 or so, offering classes like water aerobics earlier in the day and free swim the rest of the time.
There is a moderately-sized laundry facility and bath house, a clubhouse, tennis court, and mini golf that was actually a lot of fun. When it's not too hot out, the park can be a nice place just to walk around for exercise.
When we stayed here, it was a Passport American campground, but now it's a KOA, so there might be a few changes that aren't noted in our review.
Here, you're on a relatively quiet road that takes you to Desert Hot Springs in 10-15 minutes and Palm Springs in 20-30 minutes. There's a wall separating the RV park from the road, so any highway noise there would be is muffled. It's easy access to all of the area's attractions from here, and the roads simply couldn't be wider. Seriously, we kept wondering if they were simply 4-lane roads that they forgot to mark.
Nice staff, wide spots, and hot tubs. What's not to like?

It would have been nice to stay on the side with the hedges for separation. But, even without that, they made sure to space out the campers for privacy.
It was fairly quiet, even though there was a little bit of road noise.
There was a nice pool with pool toys. The bathrooms and showers were well cared for.
There was a great little playground for the kids, putt putt and shuffleboard.
I talked with the owner while I was there. He was friendly and explained that they're gradually building the place back up after it had been run down for years. But, from what we saw, they were already doing a great job.

Stayed in the premium site but loved the end site without front neighbors. Some of the sites have a hedge in the back. For a desert location, there are still sites with some limited privacy. They do seem to space campers apart so you have separation. Hot tubs and pool with mineral water. Really enjoyed it here given that it was a private RV park atmosphere.

What a lovely place. Water from the mineral hot springs is pumped into 3 hot tubs of varying degrees. We were only staying a week. We lengthened our stay. Cindy the "cruise ship director" was amazing. No KOA discount on top of a 7 day stay discount, just FYI. 45 minutes from the main entrance to Joshua Tree. 20 minutes to Trader Joe's, 30 to Whole Foods. Verizon was BLAZING FAST; 30 mbps down. 15 up. People in the future wont think so, but right now it's fast.
I'd write more, but I'm heading back to hot tub #1 (104 degrees).

This is a pretty nice park with spacious sites. We enjoyed the hot tubs which are three different temperatures fed by hot springs. We were close enough to Cathedral City to enjoy some of its amenities. Our two complaints are the desk clerk was rather put off when I called from our site politely requesting to move. We had just gotten there, and, despite the park being quite empty, we were placed right next to someone with an extensive outdoor TV setup right next to our bedroom slideout and backed up to someone else with outdoor fencing for their little yappy barking dogs. Having recently come from another park with a couple that loved to sit and talk and make phone calls just feet from our bedroom, we weren't about to subject ourselves to that again. We did get moved but not without a lot of grumbling from the clerk. Our other complaint is the sites are deep, soft sand, making leveling difficult. We had to dig out pits on the high side to get level because our blocks on the other side would just sink in. All that aside, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

This KOA is one of the more options for Palm Springs and Joshua Tree NP area. We had a fast and seamless check in with a camp guide to our spot. The park was quiet, clean and well maintained. We didn't use the laundry or the Hot Springs pool on site, so we have no comments for those.

Love this KOA! We chose this location because it's situated near Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs. Plenty to do if you happen to get bored relaxing in the resort's 3 mineral spas and heated pools. Roads are paved and sites are gravel. Very clean, which includes the really nice dog park. Dog park consists of 2 different gated areas, both very large, where dogs can run around leash free. There are a couple of pickle ball courts as well as a 9 hole mini golf course which the kids loved. Will definitely be returning!

We enjoyed our stay here very much. We were coming from Joshua Tree NP and had no issues finding this park. The amenities were great - nice dog run, the Wi-Fi worked well for us, and the laundry room was very convenient and clean. They also have other fun amenities, like a putt-putt golf course and more, that we appreciated. We were in a backup site, can't remember the site number, and the park was mostly empty when we were here, but I know they fill up fast as the snowbirds and the like migrate south. We highly recommend this park and would come back ourselves.

Stayed here for proximity to Joshua Tree NP and Palm Springs area, plus the hot springs pool and spas. Nothing special about our lot, all gravel, but they weren't busy so no other rigs close. Bathrooms and showers were clean for the most part except the ante room of one of the showers. After hot tubbing and swimming one evening we tried the showers at the further end, which are newer, but left in frustration since hot water had a stop and we couldn't get water warm enough on a chilly night. 😠 Laundry facilities were ample and clean but we had a hard time squeezing in loads between longer-term residents. Park wi-fi not bad, no cable TV. Our AT&T network was slow but Verizon was excellent. We'd like to come back to this area but will consider other parks, that also offer spas and pool, first.
