Description:

Lake Tamarisk Desert Resort is a 55+ RV and mobile home park with large RV spaces open to all ages throughout the year. Our RV spaces feature full hookups and allow well-behaved pets for no additional charge. The park is located in the largely undeveloped Chuckwalla Valley just 2 miles north of US Hwy 10 at the Desert Center exit. Come experience our peaceful desert and mountain surroundings with amazing sunrises, sunsets, and starry skies.

Amenities & Activities:

Campground amenities include an air-conditioned clubhouse with TV, Wi-Fi, a lending library, games, and a pool table. There is also a heated swimming pool, spa, bathrooms with hot showers, and a coin-op laundry facility.

Visitors can enjoy on-site activities such as off-roading/ATVing right outside the park, lake activities such as SUP and kayaking (SUPs and kayaks are not provided), and catch-and-release fishing. Lake Tamarisk is also home to thousands of migrating and resident birds and is an excellent spot to bird watch.
