We have stayed at Emerald Desert in Palm Desert the past two years. We are leaving next week for our third year. The park is lovely, 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, and very friendly campers. We stayed at the Outdoor Resorts in Cathedral City a couple of times and while it was nice the residents are far and away more friendly at Emerald Desert. The park is well maintained and has lots of activities if you are of a mind to take part.
