About 5 years ago I was sitting on the steps because I'm getting a very bad sharp burning sensation in my leg and the women who work there threatened to call the police and shoot me with a gun I should have had a phone and recorded them and press charges they are rude and very mean at this RV Park

30 dollar just for dumping - more expensive than in the state parks! We drove past the camp ground - the rvs were so close together no privacy at all - not recommended!

A bit off the beaten path. Nice little park with good amenities. Pool, sauna, games room, small gym, and doggie park. Clean and updated bathrooms. Everyone was friendly and super helpful. Even came up with a cork screw late in the evening when I realized I'd forgotten mine.

We moved into this park 5 years ago. We love living here. Also, our New Management seem to be more professional in the office now!

We are full-time RVers that usually boondock but needed a place nearby Las Vegas to stay with hookups for two weeks. RV parks aren’t usually our cup of tea but we really enjoyed our stay here. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, and the amenities are impressive especially considering the great nightly price. We especially enjoyed the super clean and spacious bathrooms with showers (it even had a sauna) and the pleasant pool area with a hot tub. On-site laundry was a bonus, as were very friendly office workers who graciously received our many Amazon packages that we had for pickup. Our only criticism is the ever-present cigarette smoke about everywhere you go here—staff, residents, and short-term guests are all constantly puffing chimneys and it will permeate into your RV, so an air purifier was helpful. Nevertheless, this was a small issue and we enjoyed our stay. We will stay here again and again. Thank you Desert Sands for offering a great place at an affordable cost! 🚐
