Needed a place to decompress and breathe... found it ☺️ it's off season so nature's beauty and open space is here to bogart! ie;empty&this is medicinal! The staff are thoughtful, informative, kind and have 20 plus years of service here- veterans! So you know they love and care for it! Joe, Ms Gardner, Dan... thanks+! Only a couple people came up this morning to fish and they left. Beyond graceful to be protected from this stifling heat in such a beautiful place! 30-50amp(w&wo sewage)-showers(.25)-dump station-bbq pits-tables etc The moment is well, helping to ensure it is well with My soul. Here's a few pictures that can't possibly do it justice• 👉🏾🆒I didn't even mention the Big Horn Rams that greet you and seek shelter under the trees!!!

Lake Cahuilla is a great little spot to camp. The grounds are kept really clean, the restrooms are some of the cleanest I've experienced, and the staff is really friendly. The desert view with the blue water combined with the quiet made for a very relaxing trip.

This is a great place for fishing and camping as well as going on amazing hikes. If you have a chance to while you are in the Coachella valley I would definitely recommend it as a place to go to.
