Great campground. Has a pool w/ 3 hot tubs/spas of varying temperatures. 1 - 104°F 2 - 102°F 3 - 98°F Children are only allowed in spa 3. On top of the pool, this campground has a 9-hole mini golf course, fitness room w/ 2 treadmills and 2 elliptical machines, a little library, a card room, and a billiard room w/ a pool table (which is currently out of order and looks like you'll need a bit of change to pay for the balls) and air hockey. Card room, fitness room and reading room are all in the pool area. The campground is a ~15-20 minute drive to Palm Springs and a ~45-50 minute drive to Joshua Tree. Palm Springs is a really nice town with lots of shops and restaurants to visit. I would highly recommend Lulu's, the food, service, and environment in general is amazing! Overall 10/10 campsite! I have encountered no problems so far and look forward to possibly coming back in the future! Have a great day! :)

I stayed at a tent site for a few nights. The KOA Holiday amenities here are good, but you should be aware of some things. The tent sites are really dusty; yes I know it’s a desert, but the winds kick up the dirt. The tent sites are made up of near golf ball sized rocks , which I found uncomfortable even with a sleeping pad. The tent sites are not well lit at night; keep your flashlights handy. The bathrooms/showers are a bit of a longer walk than I have experienced at other KOAs. Also when I was there the bathroom could have used more attention to cleanliness. Still, the staff are very helpful and responsive. If you have never visited the area, Dillon Road is bleak. It’s RV land; the KOA sits next to a mobile home park, which when I stayed there was noisy overnight. It’s a short drive to Palm Springs. Travel tip: Be aware there is a worse than average labor problem. When I stopped by the cafes I had intended to visit (the dog friendly bakery and Rick’s) both were closed during the posted open hours. I found this problem elsewhere in Palm Springs.

I got a tent site. It comes with a table, power, and water. If your tent camping it will be default to drive stakes into the ground. The site is all gravel for the tent sites. The winds in the area can get pretty high. The bathroom come with two extra showers and clean. I do wish there was a trash can in the stand alone showers.

Beautiful layout, very nice people (even a night guard), first day the restrooms were clean, but they seem to be short staffed. The cleanliness especially in the men's section went drastically downhill. So many visitors not giving a f.... Gosh and there are still people not washing their hands after they went to the restroom. Yuck.

Yep! This campground allows pets and even has a little area where you can let your pets run around. I do believe that you need to have them on a leash outside out of that area however.
