Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort in El Centro, CA

I enjoy this campground. The Friday fish frys are great. They have live music and dancing on weekends. There’s a pool, pickleball court, and laundry room.
The down side is that the organization stinks. We went camping with friends and several of them had reserved specific spots months in advance. When they got there they were told that the sites were being used by other people. The didn’t really seem to care that the people were inconvenienced. I had an issue with my payment and was told to call on Monday morning. When I called, the management refused to talk to me. The  person
who was helping me on the phone felt helpless. The management just didn’t want to respond, and told me they might have corporate call me. But of course no one ever called me. Terrible customer service with management. Oscar was great, he really tried to accommodate me, but I could tell that he was also frustrated in the poor management. They put him in a difficult spot.

As members of the San Diego Rambling RV’ers, our group has camped here a number of times. It is an easy exit/entrance onto the Hwy 8 freeway. The RV park has partial and full hock ups. There is also a swimming pool and bathrooms with showers. There are lots of quiet roads you can bike on, but not a lot of bike paths that I have found around  the RV park. However, bikers beware: on prior bike rides, we discovered that the roads and dirt paths are covered with goat heads that will puncture your tires.

This is a great park with nice amenities. If you enjoy golf this is a good place to stay. Nice pool and hot tub. Pickleball as well.
Restaurant is ok... lots of activities and very close to El Centro.
If here in Jan Feb you will be treated to the Blue Angels practicing for the season here... try it

A Truly Special Place to Call Home – Rio Bend RV Park
Staying at Rio Bend RV Park has been such a genuinely positive and memorable experience for me. From day one, I felt welcomed — not just as a guest, but as part of a community.
The office staff are wonderful, and I can’t say enough great things about Mac. She has gone above and beyond for me in so many situations, especially while I’m tied up at work. No matter what comes up — questions, little issues, or unexpected needs — she’s always been incredibly helpful, patient, and quick to step in. It’s rare to find someone so consistently kind and dependable, and it really makes all the difference knowing you have someone like that looking out for you.
What really makes this place special, though, is the people. The neighbors here are awesome — friendly, respectful, and genuinely caring. Even though this is a 55+ community and I don’t fall into that age group, everyone welcomed me with open arms. Not once did I feel out of place. Instead, I felt accepted and included, which says a lot about the character of this community. People stop to chat, offer help, and just make everyday life feel warmer and more connected.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-run RV park with amazing management and some of the sweetest neighbors you could hope for, Rio Bend is it. I’m truly grateful for my time here and for the people who’ve made it feel like home

They started out nice. But then I told them about a water leak at there faucet. They dug a huge hole behind my trailer,  and then left it for 3 weeks.  I also paid a $300 deposit, which they said would be mailed to my home after I checked out. It's been almost 2 months now. No check.  I called on the 16th , they said it was mailed on the 6th. It's the 28th now, they said the manager has to look into it,  and they call me back.  I stayed there for work. I'm not retired. Every penny counts.

This is our first stay at Rio Bend and we will definitely come back. The staff are all friendly and really go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Kara helped us each of the nights and was lots of fun. The food is excellent and the menu has about anything you would ever want. No need to cook when you visit.

Oh my God. This place was so Beautiful and so good. I stopped just to check it out. The trailer park is really Beautiful. The golf course really maintain, but the best part was trying out their food and their drinks was so good.. The bartender that help me her Name is.. MAYRA she was so nice, and really respectful and helpful she was just so nice .. So I recommend when you guys go for dinner or for drinks as for MAYRA She’s the best . 🥳

This park is quite nice and we enjoyed our stay here. My issue is management, all the way to corporate. WE were denied  a reservation this year being told we had an outstanding balance from March of last year. WE DID NOT STAY at this park last March. We notified them, paid our utilities, turned in cable box, and were on our way the first of March. They mailed our deposit back as well in mid-March. So they knew we were not there. Paying rent and utilities was a chore every month. Park management said they would reach out to corporate to call me about this. That did not happen so I reached out myself and had no reply, so I guess I will spend my $4,000 elsewhere. Too bad we really wanted to return

We are travelling from San Diego to Yuma and came in late for just 1 night. The staff was very friendly and helped us to get the Place. Afterwards we had a great dinner at the Restaurant. All the staff around is just amazing. We used the Pool in the morning for a swim before we are leaving. Wish we coole have stayed a couple of nights longer. One of the best campgrounds we have been to and we already traveld quite a few month around the Country.

Love golfing its an awesome sport and really awesome people to play golf with while being there!

Beautiful resort! The bar and grill breakfast is delicious— you must try it out. The entire staff is attentive and super helpful

Great environment, good food had a great time and the staff very attentive.  Beautiful views nice and clean well maintained.

I had an incredible stay at Rio Bend and Golf RV Resort! The facility is beautiful and impeccably well-maintained. The staff is fantastic especially Macarena, Ida & Alvaro—always friendly, helpful, and full of great energy. The resort offers all the amenities you could possibly want, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy. The on-site restaurant is also a highlight, serving delicious food. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a top-notch RV experience!

Nice RV Park! Especially nice for us since they offer Passport America discount!

They need to hire more staff to serve food and the bar tending could not keep up to the busy crowd waiting in long lines.

We had a wonderful stay at the Rio Bend RV & Golf resort! A very friendly host booked us last minute into a terrific spot. I work remotely, so the fast wifi was most appreciated. As others have described, this is a beautiful oasis in the desert with a great staff. We'll be back!

Oh my gosh the golf course! It’s so beautiful! And we went to get food at the restaurant before heading home and it was soooo good the burgers are amazing

This place is great.  Have been here several times and always fun.  Good entertainment on weekends and famous fish fry.

This is a really nice family friendly park that has so much to offer. The staff was very affable and accommodating for all of our needs. They had a plethora of sites to choose from that were great for any kind of camping styles. The amenities were nice as we got more than the basics and I really enjoyed the activities they had to offer, we found them really fun and relaxing. The location was really great as there was so much to see inside the campground but there were also a lot of places nearby that didn’t take long to drive to.  - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
