Palm Springs / Joshua Tree KOA

Mike S

Number 1 on thing very noticeable to us was a very caring and knowledgeable staff. Everyone we met, it was consistent. Although bathrooms and pool area seemed dated, overall everything looked on great repair and well maintained. I loved the huge dog park and generally how things were laid out and easy to find or figure out. Special thanks to Melody and her team mate who helped me out just after closing with a plug adapter so we could have power and cook dinner. 10/10 experience

We had a really great experience at KOA Joshua Tree / Palm Desert KOA Journey. I set up our campsite myself, but everything on their end, maintenance, hookups, and overall setup, was super smooth and easy to use. Everything was clean and well-kept. The office attendant was very informative and helpful, which made check-in and getting settled really easy. My kids had an amazing time, they loved the playground, the jumping pillow (and the attendant there was so friendly), and the mini golf. All of the amenities were really geared toward families and made the whole experience fun for everyone. The best part for us was definitely the pool. It was amazing and honestly made the trip, especially since it was pretty windy during our stay. Having the pool area more enclosed helped a lot and made it really enjoyable. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back!

We were able to score a very decent price for the room. We were even able to take transit right to the motel from downtown Palm Springs. They even have a hot tub and pool! The rooms were pretty clean as well. The motel is very close to the north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and a trail that leads to an oasis. Plus, Motel 6 is always a win because it's dog friendly.

We have some good and some bad things about this campground. Pros: The Pool and hot tubs were amazing! We enjoyed hanging out at the pool each day. Even in the morning the pool is warm. They open the pool early at 8:00. It is close to Palm Springs area with lots of shopping and restaurants. Joshua Tree national Park is about 35 minutes away. They have two laundry rooms. The one we used was nice. Cons: The people we camped next to were long term campers. They didn't keep up their site well. After arriving and getting fully set up, we realized that the neighboring campsite had a large amount of clutter piled behind it, and the sewer and water area next to our site appeared unkempt, with tree clippings and debris scattered around. This significantly impacted the overall appearance and enjoyment of our stay. When we checked in, I specifically asked the front desk if the site we chose was a good one, and there was no mention of any concerns or reasons we might want to choose a different site. There were many open sites and she could have moved us over a few spots. We did email them to see about a partial refund. At first I didn't get a phone or a message just a receipt for the refund of the $25 fee we paid to choose our own site. I did get a call later and she left a voicemail. But didn't offer any other compensation. For $69 a night, I would expect a lot more.

We love staying at KOA Palm Springs 1 month during Feb-March. The sites are nice and big however could use more gravel and/or a cement parking pad. The only reason I didn’t give them a 5 star rating is the Wi-Fi is terrible, the laundry only had 2 washers the whole month we were there and we would have loved to have more than 2 days of water aerobics each week. Other than that the staff was nice and the park is kept very clean and we will be back next year.
