Emerald Desert RV Resort is in Palm Desert..... much less windy than anything in Desert Hot Springs which is on the north side of I-10.

emerald desert is nice resort, close to PS but no golf there anymore
lots of golf courses in the valley and all expensive

too windy way over there and way far from downtown palm springs
rv spots are pretty small cramped and crappy

Kayteg1, there is so much to do in the area besides golfing. The museums, restaurants, casino's, village fest downtown (on Thursday's) etc. They have architectural tours, movies star tours, etc. We also have the 'Living Desert' zoo in Palm Desert. There are hiking trails galore all over the valley! Also many bike riding routes.

Sounds like lot have changed since I was there, but still with 115F all we could do was jump out of the car, take a picture and quickly return to the car with AC still running.

Generally, the Europeans come in the summer...... October-May, Palm Springs is paradise!

Try Indian Waters in Indio. Don't know any details about it, but they totally renovated it a couple years ago, and it looks nice.

Another place is Carefree RV Resort in La Quinta.

If you're a member of the Elk's Lodge, they have about 50 spaces (30A, water, & on-site dump) off Madison St. in Indio.

I've found that this site RV Park Reviews ususlly gives you a pretty good idea about what's around where you're planning to visit.

You might try Rancho Casa Blanca in Indio. Has lots of amenities and reasonably priced, for what you get. You rent from an owner of the lot and they may be flexible on price.

I am there now and will be for the next few months.

The mountains in the area are San Jacinto and San Gorgonio..... the latter being the tallest at 11,500 ft. The tram goes up to about 8,500 ft. to Mt. San Jacinto that has a peak of 10,834 ft. There is snow skiing and hiking and a restaurant at the tramway center

For the shopping aficionado's, there is the huge factory outlet mall in Cabazon, CA. It's just a 20 mile drive through the pass towards Los Angeles....... so many things to do.

If you are a little more adventurous, Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrowhead are just about 75 miles away and are wonderful winter destinations for snow or summer destinations for water sports. There is so much to do in the area... if you are bored, you didn't try hard enough. 😉

Safe travels,
MM.

Last time I was at Palm Spring in mid of July, the mountain peak (forgot the name) had pretty nice show cap on it.
Made a nice picture to have 105F at the footing and snow cap in the background.
Personally, I don't golf and I found PS pretty boring.
Boys did like to watch carps in one of those fancy restaurants pond.
