Palm Springs RV Resort

        This is our off-season stay while the coach is being repainted in Yuma.  We are fortunate enough to have a cabin available for us for a few weeks while we are without our coach.  The park is very different without any guests.  Currently, sites are being repaved, new trees are being planted, palm trees are being trimmed, and a host of other projects are underway.  The resort will reopen in September with Jackie and me continuing to work here.  We're both looking forward to another season in our favorite Thousand Trails resort. 

     Palm Springs RV and Camping Resort has become one of our favorite places to visit. The campground is split down the middle, on the west side all the sites are 30 amp pull-throughs, and on the east side, all the sites are 50 amp back-ins. All the roads are paved and the sites vary from all sand to partial asphalt, to total concrete (which are saved for ‘annuals’) Sites are assigned on a first-come, first served basis, however, there are a few smaller sites reserved for tents. Palm trees are the name of the game here, whichever site you choose, you’ll have to navigate around at least one or two palm trees. On our site, we couldn’t open our awning because of a tree, which wasn’t a big deal as it was on the north side of the RV.
     The best part of the resort was the people we met there. We walk our dogs two or three times each day and we found that walking up and down each row came out to be about two and a half miles, during which we never failed to meet new people or run into friends we had previously met. Almost every evening we found ourselves at someone’s campsite visiting with people from all over. The park was very welcoming and didn’t give us the feeling that we were visiting someone else’s park like some parks do when there are too many people living there month to month.
    The amities are fairly good. There are six pristine pickleball courts, several horseshoe pits, a pool, a hot tub, an activity center, and more. Every morning there was a volleyball game happening in the pool. There are activities such as barbecues, pickleball events, a weekly craft sale, water aerobics, and so on. We found the mail system a bit different, UPS & FedEx delivers right to your site and packages sent by USPS are delivered to the office and a fee is charged when picking up your packages. Not a bad system, if you know beforehand what it is. The park could use some fixing up and a bit more servicing. Things like having someone check site once vacated and making sure that they are ready for the next camper, maybe paving more sites to keep the sand and dust level down, or at least ensuring that each site has a concrete pad with a picnic table. (most do, but not all) We also noticed at least three different RV wash companies in the campground, we also saw other outside services in the park, including oil changes and some fiberglass repair.
     Another great aspect of the park is its location. It is just minutes away from shopping, casinos, street fairs, and scores of golf courses. We were in the park most of the month of December and we had the great fortune of pretty much perfect weather the whole time. However, I do understand that the park is closed during the summer months because of the heat, but I’ve heard rumors that may change. (not the heat, but closing during the summer months) We are very much looking forward to returning here. We love the whole Palm Springs area.
