We’ve stayed at Thousand Palms RV Resort for two separate week-long trips, and it’s been a great experience both times. It’s a nice, developing park with a very friendly community feel. Everyone we met was welcoming, and the overall vibe is relaxed and homey. The bathrooms are well kept and honestly pretty cute, though the showers did take quite a while to heat up. The clubhouse is really nice and has plenty to do — puzzles, a piano, ping pong, and more. There’s also mini golf, a tennis boutique, basketball, shuffleboard, and other activities to enjoy. On our first trip, we went out on an airboat with Wild Bill’s Airboat Rides — it was an amazing experience and definitely a highlight! Our first campsite was very sandy, which made for a bit of a mess, but the second site we had was spacious and much nicer. There’s a pool on-site, though we didn’t get a chance to go in. There’s also a boat ramp right by the exit that’s quiet and peaceful. Overall, it’s a great place to stay with lots of activities and a strong sense of community.

Stopped here on my motorcycle a few weeks ago making plans for a cycling trip. Was told by an employee that they always have room for tents. No reservation needed. Now that I peddled all the way here they say no tent camping. Thanks for starting my trip on a sour note. Horrible people. Never answer the phone and never returned any of my calls.
