I realize that may make me a pariah to some people, but the fact is I am not the only one with that frame of mind.

I don’t believe any of the rv resorts were are discussing, including ORI, is an over 55 community, so restricting younger families would be a violation of federal law.

Nowhere did I suggest you couldn't buy. But just because you can buy doesn't mean you will be welcomed with open arms. I am intentionally being rude and blunt because I am trying to help you understand what you are likely to experience. I see no reason to lie to you and say you and your children will be warmly greeted. I am 99.9% sure that would not be the case at the parks we are talking about.

Well, I think when people live in such close quarters that it becomes all that more important to practice your best manners and be neighborly regardless of who moves in next to you. That’s what I will teach my children.

Don't confuse the primary purpose and function of RV parks that are designed around the activities and life style of Senior Citizens with attitudes and feelings about children. Everything and everyone has a designed purpose and place.

I don’t think senior citizens should have the monopoly on quality rv parks in warm weather destinations. Disneyland was designed for kids, but they would let you in... with a smile. Odd comment for you to make, that I should have a prescribed purpose and place different from you.... Do you decide that for others?

Only if asked:)

As a previous owner in Outdoor Resort PS lot 926 (sold when we bought a home in Palm Desert) we found the resort a lot of fun with many activities. The lots are big enough as not to be living on top of your neighbor. We were in out early 50’s and very well accepted. As for younger children, overall they were well accepted. Of course there are always exceptions but our experience was very positive.

Thank you for this!

I apologize for the negative turn this question has taken. We had such a wonderful time interacting with young and old at ORPS. Everyone was lovely! The owners were very encouraging about buying a lot and telling us how generations of their families had enjoyed coming there over the years. We heard so many positive memories! The owners were the best advertisement for the property. Our kids had a wonderful time, and we are excited to return.

Are you talking about a couple of weeks over the holidays? If not, what about their education?

For what it’s worth kids are not uncommon in ORPS, especially on holiday weekends. Everybody’s used to it. Not a big deal. Lots of grand kids etc. Keeps us young.

Interesting that no one has mentioned Desert Hot Springs there are a few RV parks and it is not that far from Palm Springs and Cathedral City or farther down the valley, traffic is not bad at all.
