We chose this park because we wanted to visit Joshua Tree National Park and needed a place to stay overnight, as well as a place to leave our dog during the day. The campground itself isn't bad. I would have rated it higher if there were any trees or grasses or anything green. But I guess if you wanted vegetation, you wouldn't be in 29 Palms, CA. The campground staff was very friendly. They have a pool but we did not use it. The big-rig sites were more than adequately sized, and the seasonal folks were extremely nice. If I was in this area again, I would stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here 4 nights while visiting Joshua Tree Nat'l Park. It is very convenient to the visitor center and the northern entrance to the park. It is the only RV park in town so we didn't have much choice. It was OK for that purpose but I wouldn't have stayed here otherwise. When I called to make reservations the lady I talked to couldn't have been nicer, but actual check-in was rather tedious as the office person was otherwise engaged in arguing with a tenant about how much rent he owed. If was a full 5 minutes before she acknowledged my presence. Our site was a pull-through on broken black top with no vegetation, no view, noise due to the nearby highway and very close to our neighbor, although we were able to put out our awning. The park has a lot of permanent spots where people live full time, return year after year to the same space or rent one of the cottages while working at a nearby job site. Half of these sites were the only ones with shade, but appeared to be even closer together. There were tents, storage sheds, boats and lots of junk sitting around in these spaces. There appears to be lots of activities in the nice club house although we didn't participate. Tennis courts and a golf course are within easy walking distance and there is an indoor pool along with a huge laundry facility. Beware, the entrance to the park has been re-routed around the back side of the park due to a deep gutter drop off at the original entrance. We also used the re-route to exit the park so as not to drag the back of our motorhome and toad. We would not stay here again unless we were again visiting the park. It is overpriced for what you get. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park felt very crowded as the sites were very close together. Mostly just OK for our needs, but substandard in regard to the dog yard which was just too small for the amount of use it received. It was next door to a golf course which looked good. We didn't have time to try it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here overnight on our way from Arizona to central California: glad we had only planned one night! The rate they charge for this place is way too high for what you get. We felt like we were parked in a sand and asphalt (uneven at that) parking lot. They have some permanent residents and small rooms/apartments with residents coming and going at all time of the day and night: very noisy. Park also backs up to a busy road which added to the noise. It appears that they are trying to upgrade, but they have a long way to go. This place looks nothing like the website, however it might just be because it is winter and there was very little greenery. Don’t know why the review site says no pets because they do take them and in fact have a dog walk area. We would stay here again only if we had to. Next time we will just go another way towards home and avoid this area all together. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The site was nice but there was no picnic table available and, in my opinion too expensive especially if you travel with kids ($3 each). We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this RV Park for a month and it was so nice. We enjoyed the pool and showers. The staff was very helpful. We are considering coming back to live here full time. It is one of the best and friendliest parks we have stayed in. Thank you to the park staff for making our visit so great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice RV Resort in the middle of the Desert. Pleasantly surprised. We stayed with Enjoy America Discount. Gravel pull through with nice Golf Course to view. We would stay here again. Very friendly staff, park is clean and well kept. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Many things were very nice: staff was helpful, pool was well heated, there were beautiful flowers everywhere. But both my wife and I felt the park was quite run down. here were many older rundown rigs. The pool was heated but had many patches and in obvious need of an overhaul. Had we been paying $20 a night it may have been a bargain, but at $38 a night it is very overpriced. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff was great, the pool and spa were nice, and the proximity to Joshua Tree can't be beat. The site was big and level, but the power was very weak. A water pipe broke and there was no water for the last day and a half of our stay. This park appeared to be mostly made up of residents. It felt more like a trailer park than a campground. There aren't many parks in the area. We probably wouldn't stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This place was one (pleasant) surprise after another. We booked this park for an overnight in a town where we had never stayed. Arriving at office closing, the clerk asked if we would stop when we left the next morning to pay and sent us to a pull-though. We weren’t overly happy since the site length meant that our towed vehicle blocked the road behind us and we had to unhook. Other than that, the layout of the park was fine and we settled in for an uneventful overnighter. But when we wandered about the park we found a very complete “resort” which reminded us that most parks seldom live up to the name. We were on a schedule, but next time we will go out of our way to return and try out the 1) Large indoor pool, 2) Good tennis court, 3) Very well equipped multi-machine gym, 4) Sauna/steam room, 5) Indoor game & rec-room, 6) Outdoor recreation area with things like horseshoe and shuffleboard courts, and 7) a real golf course. The place wasn’t perfect, but we will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at this park because of its proximity to Joshua Tree National Park. It is a Passport America park too which is an added benefit for us. The swimming pool is enclosed and we found it very nice. The hot tub is very hot. The office staff were friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A fun RV Resort with a lot of activities, especially if you like golf. Sites and amenities are the best in the area. Very close to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Large indoor heated pool, hot tub, sauna and Fitness/Exercise center with morning workout classes (during winter season). Staff was helpful, friendly and fun to be around. We would definitely stay here again. Rate is Passport America rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has many amenities: pool, hot tub, sauna, exercise room, game room. They have many planned activities for the snowbirds. A golf course is adjacent to the park. Wifi did not work at our site. Use the entrance to the park to exit because the transition from the park to the street causes some rv's to drag. Rate reflects Passport America discount. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was an overnight stop on my way to the LA area. Chose this park as it was a Passport America park, but the rate charged was higher than the book rate. Park is very quiet, well away from the highway. Lots of available sites. Washrooms were clean. Staff was friendly. Generally it appeared to be a typical RV park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wi-Fi has hot spots, only as explained by front desk. They have lost their Gen. Mgr and Mgr so now the workkampers are literally saving this park. Do not take the 1st entrance into this park, it will rip the bottom of your rig. You can see the deep gashes in the pavement---take the second right and leave the same way. They turned off the water while we were there without notifying a single resident, I was in the shower, and told by the office the bookkeeper now also Office Mgr approved this and initially thought the water would be off for 2 hrs?! My neighbors were trying to leave before check out and couldn't rinse their hoses. This is NOT a resort and is NOT affiliated with the Golf course across the way-owned by two different people. The INDOOR not outdoor pool is nice, exercise equipment room is great so is the laundry room but there are permanent "trailers" that live there. This is a work in progress with our Passport America rate not matching the rate in the most recent book. Charged $19 instead of what is in print. The office seems new and is nice and bare-no pictures on the walls. Employees were nice but stressed it seemed-lots going on-winging it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well this park was interesting to say the least. We used it as a hub to Joshua Tree. Lots of residents. More residents than campers. Staff was flighty but nice. Had our sewer hose stolen at this park. Had to wear a different color wrist band for each day to gain access to pool and rec room. No tables at camp site. WIFI down. No trash cans on property. You leave trash at your site and they come get. Sometimes it was not picked up till afternoon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice RV park with adjacent 9-hole golf course, which my husband enjoyed. Very clean and well-kept park with all the amenities and very friendly people. Rate reflects Passport America which was extended to our 5 day stay from the standard 2 day restriction. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good, well managed RV park with reasonably spaced sites and able to handle even the biggest rigs. They are building a brand new clubhouse which will be operational inn the Fall. There is a 9-hole golf course contiguous to the RV park that is in fairly good shape and a full complement of par 3, 4 and 5's. WiFi is available throughout 3/4 of the park. This is a good base camp for exploring Joshua Tree National Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park but its all sand. Wireless internet was not functioning to 1/2 the park due to some equipment malfunction. TV is non existent unless you have a dish. Very close to Joshua Tree NP so it was handy for us. Used PA at $15/nite. We had no problems with our 39' fiver and would stay there again if necessary but Not being golfers there are limited attractions there for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree with the above remarks, but rate the park slightly higher. The facilities were very nice. Only drawback is no shade in overnight spaces, but that isn't much of a problem in January. There is road noise, but that doesn't bother me. Park well maintained and staff helpful and courteous. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were here for Christmas with friends. We all had such a lovely time. Wonderful park. The staff was polite, helpful and professional at all times. I am not a golfer, but the others in our party were and they seem immensely pleased. Would go back in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good Sam weekly rate-$162+tax. Very nice park except no cable TV, wi fi is free, very close to Joshua Tree National Park, nice clubhouse, gym, indoor pool & spa, large laundry room, very little landscaping at sites. Friendly staff. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Passport America park. Stayed in this park while visiting Joshua Tree National Park. This is essentially a large, level, open, paved area that borders a golf course; so convenient it made us wish we played. The sites were very easy to get in and out of with decent space between rigs. Large and very busy laundry. Showers were clean and well kept but closed earlier and opened later than we would have liked and were a long distance from our site. The many well tended seasonal sites were much closer to the facilities than the short term sites. The town of 29 Palms has a series of buildings with locally meaningful murals painted on the sides that are well worth seeing. This was a decent enough place and if we were in the area again we would consider it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Coast to Coast, RPI, & Passport America and Public RV Park with lots of long term residents.
Nice inexpensive 9 hole golf course. Lots of road noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
