TRAVELERS BEWARE - DO NOT STAY HERE. This is not a normal camping RV park. It is really a very old (1969) mobile home park with about 600+ permanent residences. There are only 28 pull thru sites for short term rental. And they are located right at the park entrance with no gate, no check-in stop and no lighting, cameras or security. The first and only night we stayed here our $2,000+ electric bike was stolen off our locked and covered bike rack at 3:30am. And the Thule bike rack was ruined. We were awakened at that time by a loud but short motor sound followed by a bang and a shaking of our trailer. At first we thought the wind had blown something into our trailer. It took a couple of minutes to gather our thoughts and look out the windows before going outside. After cautiously proceeding, it was discovered that our bike had been stolen. The next morning we spoke with another camper 1 space over to see if he had seen or heard anything and he did hear the noise but didn't see anything. He also thought it might have been wind related and thus put his awing in. He did however, inform us that at check-in he was told "if you have bikes or camp valuables they recommend that you keep them inside your RV if you are gone or at night". The reason is they have had theft problems before in the RV pull thru sites. We were not given this piece of information. Also that morning we spoke with a full time resident who was taking a walk and she told us this has been a chronic problem at the RV pull thru sites and the complex has done nothing to resolve it. And they usually will warn you to secure everything. We did call the police and they came out to take a report and they confirmed that bike, motor cycle and car theft is pretty pervasive in this area. And they aren't sure why the complex hasn't done anything for better security. Now comes the bulls--t from the management or office staff. We went to complain and inform them of the theft and to request our money back. We also asked why they didn't inform us of the problem and the recommendation to lock stuff in your RV. The woman said "oh we never tell anybody that" which means our site neighbor and the resident just made that up. I asked why there is no gate or lights or cameras or security and here is her response. I paraphrase "The police don't care to even look at camera footage, the city won't let us put in a gate, (even though the police have recommended it), we are not responsible for stolen property or damages". I even asked why wouldn't you attach a flyer or note in the check-in paper work letting people know there is a theft problem in the area? Her response was "if we did that people wouldn't want to stay here". So the result is get your property stolen so we don't lose any customers. Now comes the wonderful customer service - NOT!! At first they offered to return our money. But after going through all the "why do nothing for security" options my wife said "well, we will be noting this problem in our review", and the lady responded "well, if you're going to give us a bad review, forget the refund" and threw my credit back at me. Good Sam has been notified of the park problems and that this park in no way meets the Good Sam standards and should not be recommended. read more

This is our second year here for a month in January. They have changed owners and management. It's not the same but it looks they are working on it so im giving credit for that. Landscaping maintained very well. They were finally able to heat pool and spa and it's quiet and clean and nice folks stay here. Yes, it could use some updating and improvements but we are comfortable. No internet or cable at the moment, hence the 3 instead of 4 stars. read more

Desert Shadows RV Resort is an HOA Over 55 RV Community for stays of at least 30 days. It is not a campground. Each lot is individual owned & can be rented by its owner for stays of at least 30 days. As a Full Time RVer we have stayed here for the "Snowbird" season for the last 5 years and in our opinion it is a 5 star Resort. Please note this is a "seasonal " RV Resort. Many people that visit the park for a month's stay often become lot owners. Each lot is individually owned & can be rented by its owner for stays of at least 30 days. This is an HOA over 55 RV Resort community. Please note there are specific HOA rules when considering a stay including: (1)Pets -only one household pet is allowed per lot, weighing less than 20 pounds and no taller than 14 inches, also pets cannot be walked in the park, -2)trailers and dollies cannot be stored on a lot and, - 3) RV's must be over 26' in length. It is considered a "Snowbird's" paradise with 6 pools & hot tubs, Fitness center. 8 Pickleball courts, Wood Shop, Hiking Club, Corn Hole League, Water Volleyball League, Line Dancing, a Large Ball Room for special functions, and a Full Time Activities Director. There is something for everyone and you can participate in as much as you choose. It is a truly amazing Resort and Community! Activities & Amenities rival the best Resorts in the country and the culture of its owners & renters are friendly, inviting, active, and their volunteerism in the park make this a unique place. read more

See all

Some of the reviews are mistaken. Desert Shadows RV Resort is an HOA and not a campground. *As an HOA there cannot be an ownership change as all property owners own the resort. *Existing management team has been in place since 2017 *Cable & internet is part of the owner's HOA fee. The owner is responsible to obtain equipment from Spectrum. *As stated above Desert Shadows RV is an HOA and not a campground. 30 day minimum rental. All rentals are done by owners NOT the HOA office. * Dog size restrictions. Dog walking inside the community not allowed * 26-foot minimum size RV read more

I used to own a lot next door at Outdoor Resorts, since I don't play golf or tennis I prefer Desert Shadows, also less transient rental traffic with lots being rented on a monthly basis only. There is no daily resort fee for renters. Owners own their lots in this 55+ RV resort. The facilities are spotless and the employees all are polite and accommodating, the General Manager, Dave, has decades of experience and it shows. As a renter I was treated just the same as an owner and I felt at home! I enjoyed my stay so much I plan to buy a lot. read more

We went back this year and the place has changed, unfortunately not for the better. Fewer activities and not as friendly. It looks like it is turning into seniors low income housing. read more

Good management, friendly people. Most of the folks we meet here have been coming down for years. It's easy to make friends, lots of activities and pot lucks and such. Too many groups to join. The pools/spas/laundry rooms are cleaned daily and were recently upgraded. Two big social halls and a couple of little ones around the park. The place is clean and well maintained. Grounds crew does a good job. Close to shopping and handy to the freeway. read more
