Secluded, good for a family trip. Would recommend putting a grill as other campsites had one, but 16 did not. Definitely look into the weather to take proper gear and all equipment needed. Would come back if given the opportunity again.

We had the best time on the date farm. Ron is a very friendly host and is super attentive to requests. The hot tub was so relaxing in the middle of the date palms. We stayed in our van, but the yert in the site was nicely appointed with bed and heater. I’m sure it would be a great place to sleep. We will definitely be back, and plan to bring some friends!

The tents in their secluded areas were delightful and to be outside soaking in the private tub devine. We enjoyed cooking our meals near the tent but were surprised to be invited to use a community kitchen.

A magical place! We were lucky enough to be there during a rainstorm and it was lovely. Don't expect anything fancy- this is, after all, a farm. But you will be able to enjoy serenity in your own little corner, with your own private soaking tub. The mineral water is simply rejuvenating. Ron, the host, is friendly and accomodating. And don't forget to get some dates- chemical free, fresh and delicious.

Weekend Trip to Mineral Spring Date Farm

We loved camping at the Mineral Spring Date Farm. Ron and Myung welcomed us and we signed up for the Kimchee Ramen our first night which was delicious! We had a wonderful campsite which was private surrounded by date palms. We soaked in a large rubber tub which we could fill with wonderfully hot mineral spring water from deep down in the aquifer 100s of feet under the ground. Palm Springs is only a half an hour away and we enjoyed the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, a must see. To remember our visit, we purchased a couple pounds of dates to take home, which were delicious and tender. Highly recommend this unique campsite to anyone wanting something special.
