We had a great stay at Palm Springs / Joshua Tree KOA. The campground was clean, safe, and very comfortable overall. We stayed in site 125, which had a covered picnic table and a gas fire pit, and it was absolutely perfect. The fire pit alone made the stay feel extra special and was such a nice way to relax in the evenings. I usually prefer off-grid camping, but this was an ideal spot to slow down and enjoy some comfort without feeling crowded or chaotic. The showers and restrooms were clean, check-in and check-out were easy, and everything felt well maintained. I would definitely stay here again and would request a similar site. If you’re looking for a comfortable base near Joshua Tree with thoughtful amenities, this KOA is a solid choice.

We needed a place for our family of five to stay while visiting family nearby, so we decided to rent a Glamping Tent for three nights. It was comparable cost to a hotel but 20 min closer to where we needed to be. We did not use any of the amenities at the KOA so I can only provide a review on the Glamping Tent experience, which we just used for sleeping. |I must say - it was a very neat experience! |On our first night in the tent it poured rain. It was the first rain in the area in months and boy did it ever let loose, with whipping winds too. We were dry and cozy in the tent which had central heat. The bunk bed room got chilly and we did ask for extra blankets for the remaining nights, but the main area of the tent with the queen sized bed was almost too hot. The noise in the nigh

Just camped here last night, very quickly arranged trip. This KOA offered so much for our 1 night stay in a pop up camper. The staff was very kind, gave us suggestions for where to eat in Desert Hot Springs. Site was spacious and had a sturdy wooden table and bench. We had our 3 dogs and they offered 2 different dog parks, one of which was HUGE with plenty of room for our pups to explore and they LOVED it. Doggie bags located throughout campground. Mineral pool was very relaxing (though a little cooler than I had expected). Three hot tubs, and those WERE nice and toasty. Beautiful views of the mountains. Everything was CLEAN, the restroom was spotless, the campsite had no litter. Surrounding the mineral pool were rooms set for Reading, Card Playing, Exercise, Club House, Billiards. Place f

We just got home from camping at KOA Palm Springs/Joshua Tree, where we had booked four campsites and one cabin. Around 4:30 a.m., we were woken up by a car alarm going off near our cabin. Shortly after, we heard people moving through our campsites. All of the cars at our sites had been ransacked, and someone even attempted to open one of our trailers. What makes it especially concerning is that someone tried to access the car parked at our cabin site, which was nowhere near our RV campsites, and then all of the vehicles at the campsites were targeted. It definitely felt like we may have been watched by either staff or someone staying on the grounds. Thankfully, everything they took can be replaced, but the sense of safety for our family—especially with our children there—is not. Unfortuna

★★★☆☆ 3.0 claire allen · Dec 2025

I *wanted* to love this koa so much! The pools and hot tub were huge hits, with putt putt second. Our family of 5 plus my senior father stayed in a cabin... The "loft" is only like 4 feet tall, be warned!! My father had to sleep up there with two kids - a queen bed & 2 bunk bed mattress were on the floor. Downstairs you had to go THROUGH the bathroom to get to the other room where a king bed was. Wasn't an issue until I got locked in the bedroom unable to get out! It was awful. Both my father and eldest son got really hurt by that ceiling when waking up. Disabled spouse younger child & I took the main level room if curious. Basketball posts were up but the backboard and nets were completely removed, unplayable. Coffee pot was broken. Fridge was broken. Only freezer work. Maintenance was
