We stayed here twice as a stop for the night to and from Arizona. Great location just off the…read morefreeway but far enough away so you do not hear it too much to the point where it's difficult to sleep. Very nicely landscaped and clean overall. Also, we felt safe walking our dog at night with lights and security. Very clean restrooms and facilities spread out throughout the property. Unfortunately, we arrived at night both times so we did not have time to try all of the amenities but the pool area and gym looked great. After hours check in was easy, and communication from staff was very helpful. The dog park was great, our yellow lab enjoyed running free in the morning! Overall, we'd definitely come back!

The resort is beautiful with lots of great amenities such as a their 18- hole putting course, 2 heated pools and hot tubs, pickleball courts, billiards, a clubhouse and bar, fishing ponds, golf cart rentals, and so much more. The sites are large but unfortunately graveled. With a resort this nice, concrete pads would have been a better choice. The resort is quite large and it could be a bit of a walk depending on your site location so I'd recommend bringing bikes unless you would prefer to rent a golf cart. They have a nice walking path on the property and dog parks and stops for your fury friends along the way. Overall it was a great stay filled with lots of fun memories and beautiful sunsets. So much that our members can't wait to come back next year. Highly recommend this resort.

The Salton Sea State Recreation Area Visitor Center was our first stop at the Salton Sea, driving…read moredown from Palm Desert. I wasn't sure if it would be worth the $7 fee or a waste of time, but it ended up being my favorite stop of the day. We actually came back again later that afternoon on our way north. The two rangers working when we visited were awesome. George Caruso and another ranger whose name I didn't catch were seriously amazing. Friendly, warm, welcoming, and a wealth of knowledge. They suggested we stick to the east side of the lake rather than trying to circle it, since the western side turns into more of a freeway drive with less connection to the water. That advice worked out perfectly and really shaped our day. The visitor center itself is great. Inside there are maps, artifacts, wildlife information, a short 10-minute video, and a small gift shop. It's not huge, but it's informative and gives helpful context before heading out. Outside, there's easy beach access with a long stretch of shoreline to walk and take in the lake. Up close, there is a bit of a smell, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. We saw a few small shorebirds, though not as many as I thought we might. Facilities are solid: clean restrooms, water, shade structures, picnic tables, and plenty of parking. The fee covers day use, so it's a good place to take a break and regroup. If it's your first time visiting the Salton Sea, this is a must stop right out of the gate. Definitely worth it. 5 stars!

Ask to watch the video from when the area was the "next Palm Springs." Car camp at New Camp (hot showers & flush toilets!). Walk a mile south to the next campground & back, when you slow down & walk, you really start to see things. Obviously think twice about visiting in the summer but definitely visit this winter. While you're there, drive down to Bombay Beach, and up over the dike to see the art exhibits. Visit the Sonny Bono Wildlife Refuge on the S/E corner. Find the mud pots & mud volcanoes. Eat at Chelo's at the Mecca Arco. And, pro tip, if you're camping at New Camp, buy tokens for the showers when you're at the visitor center.

Finding an RV park nearby with full hookups was difficult, but Juanita made it easy!! We called them directly and there was a space available. The park has a friendly feel, with a nice pool. Some spots house long term residents and they are decorated and landscaped accordingly. We couldn't have found a quieter place to rest in the evenings during this busy trip. Be aware that there are neighboring chickens and the roosters will eliminate any need for a morning alarm! But for our group it just added to the charm. :) Will definitely stay again next time I'm in the area. Maybe I will hit the nearby Casino. It's close enough to walk there.

The cafe staff was able to accomodate my severe gluten allergy by wrapping my burger in lettuce. Despite the manager yelling at me "no substitutions!" after ordering my meal. Of course I couldn't have the fries or tater tats due to the deep friers cross contamination, but the burger was okay! I truly appreciate the chef/cooks that substituted a bun for lettuce. So despite the angry manager and risk of cross contamination. Just in case, to prevent the staff from experiencing the moody managers rathe, next time, I'll just get the salad. It's a great place to visit!
