Beware sign for $10 RV full hookups on I-10

On I-10 between Palm Springs and San Bernardino (a/k/a the middle of nowhere), there's an RV park right on the interstate with a sign advertising $10 RV full hookups.

I went and said I saw the sign and asked if they had a space for my motorhome for one night, and the woman said it's a membership campground and not open to the public, and I tried to hand me a sheet with a number to call. I said, "So you have a sign on the highway that says full hookup RV sites for $10 but you don't actually offer full hookup RV sites for $10?" She said that's how it is.

So if you're traveling along that stretch and think you're willing to stay in a skanky RV park right on the highway if you can have air conditioning for $10, don't be fooled.

If they have a higher non-members rate, they might get away with just adding "Start at..." or "...and up." to the sign.

Apparently that sign has been there for a long time, so my only goal is to keep people from falling for it. To get to the campground from the freeway you have to take a circuitous route, and I'm trying to save people the trouble.

There is a campground between Havasu and Parker with a similar set up. I don't think you would get anywhere notifying BBB or anyone else, the one we saw also had a sign just on the entry drive saying private campground.

No worth my time complaining.

I believe that park belongs to Colorado River Adventures, which is a membership system and the $10 is probably what members pay.That sign has been there forever. I agree the sign is misleading and should clearly state the price is for members only.
