Description:

Lake Tamarisk Desert Resort is a 55+ RV and mobile home park with large RV spaces open to all ages throughout the year. Our RV spaces feature full hookups and allow well-behaved pets for no additional charge. The park is located in the largely undeveloped Chuckwalla Valley just 2 miles north of US Hwy 10 at the Desert Center exit. Come experience our peaceful desert and mountain surroundings with amazing sunrises, sunsets, and starry skies.

Amenities & Activities:

Campground amenities include an air-conditioned clubhouse with TV, Wi-Fi, a lending library, games, and a pool table. There is also a heated swimming pool, spa, bathrooms with hot showers, and a coin-op laundry facility.

Visitors can enjoy on-site activities such as off-roading/ATVing right outside the park, lake activities such as SUP and kayaking (SUPs and kayaks are not provided), and catch-and-release fishing. Lake Tamarisk is also home to thousands of migrating and resident birds and is an excellent spot to bird watch.

Excellent stop over point before heading to Joshua Tree National Park. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, clean showers and nice pool! Most permanent residents had left for the season, so very quiet. Would definitely recommend Lake Tamarisk Desert Resort.

Such a nice place, quiet and clean. We didn't get to meet the host/manager as we arrived late due to RV mechanical problems, and we left on Sunday (office closed). It was such a treat to have the pool/spa area accessible at night. We enjoyed the stars while relaxing in the pool. The area has so much walking room with your doggo. There's a community playground not too far away with sidewalk paths. In reading up on the place it was heartbreaking to hear about the solar farm issues surrounding the place. We are wishing the Lake Tamarisk community best of luck in their fight to keep the "farms" from expanding. We only noticed them when driving out on the I10 the next day, you don't see them when walking around the property. We would definitely stop here again on a future RV trip.

Clean, quiet, peaceful, friendly people. It was more like a neighborhood than an RV park. We really enjoyed our stay.

This park is really something else and I am very glad we found it! The staff was super friendly, helpful, and rather accommodating. There were a plethora of sites to choose from that were not only spacious but would fit any campers style or RV sizes. There were a lot of great amenities that took care of our needs. The location was beautiful as there were so many stunning views from all over the park and in the surrounding area. I liked how many great places there was to visit that was only a short drive away. Overall we had a blast and can’t wait to go back. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
