This is one of my favorite resorts & I have traveled all over USA as full time RVer. 1st time I stayed here before COVID in my RV for $11/ night! They had a sale ...10 hot springs & 5 pools! What a bargain. Great rates. Its nestled between 2 favorite spots--Joshua Tree & Palm Springs. I came back and stayed in a Cabin & it was so adorable and cozy & well priced. I love this place. Only thing I hate is....its hard to find availability...

This resort has 13 mineral pools. Nice and clean. There is so many activities to do and a great cafe with great food. (Only open Oct-May) The gardeners don't work on the sites occupied but when i called to see if the gardeners would come and pull my weeds they came the next day and did a great job I will surely come back again.

Our friends recommended that we camp here on our way out of Pioneertown to extend our weekend trip. We were surprised on arrival that it's definitely more of a residential facility than a campground, but decided to still give it a go. We were very thankful for employees Dominic and Sandy who both made our stay enjoyable from the start. The premium RV spots where we stayed near the West Serenity Pool (about 3 blocks away) have a fake grass patch and concrete slab along with a little patio set, which was very nice. WiFi was very fast during our entire stay and all of the hookups worked well. The highlight was definitely the Serenity Pools, which were incredibly relaxing and the perfect temperature. I enjoyed reading about the different minerals in the pools and how they are heated from the fault and pumped back in. We did go over to the East activity pool area to check it out, but it was so crowded with people and children that we were happy our site was near the Serenity pool. (Upon booking our site, the staff did notify us about the difference between the two pools, and they accommodated us closer to the Serenity pool which was nice). The only downside of the Serenity Pools were some parents who let their children splash and jump in the pools while adults were trying to relax. There were also a few adult Canadians who thought it was a good idea to say negative political things about Americans (very loudly) as they floated in the pool. (We don't want to hear that as we are relaxing on vacation in our own country). We enjoyed going into the little cafe, which is stocked with a variety of unique Austrian pastries, ice cream, coffee and a daily lunch special until 2 p.m. The owner was so sweet and hospitable and the outdoor seating area was quaint and beautiful. One thing to note for campers: If you only have an RV, you will have to unhook to get to a market for ice, waters, and other grocery items. Restaurants are also about 20 minutes away. All in all a very nice place with wonderful staff.

This is our second time staying in an AirBNB property at the resort and, for what we are looking for, it fits our needs. The pools are lovely, there is no music to distract me from relaxing and reading (except for one lady who came in and started playing what she referred to as mellow but was really more EDM / club type music) If you want activity, don't stay here. If you want quiet, a place where you can get out and run for the day then relax, this is fine. We had an issue with our unit not having been cleaned when we arrived due to a miscommunication but that was rectified as soon as we were able to get in touch with the cleaner and the owner.
