Lake Tamarisk Desert Resort
Overview
Overview
Lake Tamarisk Desert Resort in Desert Center, California places travelers within the raw expanses of the Colorado Desert. This property offers a distinct basecamp for visitors drawn to remote desert landscapes, wide-open horizons, and the quiet isolation found between the Coachella Valley and the Colorado River.
Location & Surroundings
Situated off Interstate 10, the surrounding terrain is defined by rugged mountain views, creosote flats, and stark desert beauty. Climate conditions here feature intense summer heat and mild winter temperatures, making the cooler months the peak period for regional travel. Approaching from Indio or Blythe, drivers navigate stretches of desert highway flanked by expansive skies and sparse vegetation.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details are not verifiable from the name alone, visitors should contact management directly to verify utility configurations. When planning a stay at this destination, it is smart to ask about hookup types, site access for varied RV lengths, and current operational policies regarding water usage and seasonal availability.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The wider region delivers dramatic outdoor recreation opportunities centered on public lands. Joshua Tree National Park lies to the northwest, providing access to unique geological formations and hiking trails. Further afield, travelers frequently explore the Bradshaw Trail, the Salton Sea, and the vast expanses of the Chuckwalla Mountains for off-highway vehicle exploration and solitude.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location suits desert explorers, winter snowbirds seeking a low-density environment, and road-trippers transiting the southern California desert corridor. Travelers who appreciate dark night skies, minimalist landscapes, and proximity to rugged public lands will find the setting matches an independent RV lifestyle.

Such a nice spot to camp - beautiful setting on the lake with walking trails everywhere. Really enjoyed our stay.
William Vlach
Very nice, quiet, and convenient park off I-10. The lots aren't huge but parking is easy and the neighbors, when present, are friendly. I think many leave town as the weather heats up, which probably means there are more spaces for rent when traveling through and needing a night or two along your path. The lake was nice, too--pretty views and a nice evening walk. We'll be back--much quieter and less pricey than those parks in Indio and Palm Desert if you don't need to run into town for anything on your way through.

This RV resort is in the middle of nowhere but it is very quiet and restful and the staff is incredible. We stayed just one night but would have liked to stay longer if time would have permitted.
