Property was exactly what we were looking for. Me and my fiancé wanted a spot our dogs could roam free with no leash. The stargazing was phenomenal. The host was very accommodating. We forgot our coffee and the host brewed us a whole pot, absolutely saved our morning. Thanks again will recommend your friends.

Nice private property for dispersed camping. Beautiful sunset snd sunrise! The Milky Way was crystal clear! The host is super generous and will do anything possible to accommodate guests. 10/10 will be back. I really liked that there was only one other group and I couldn’t even tell that they were there. PS: it’s super close to Julian - and trails.

We had a great stay at Coachella Lakes! The sites are well spaced apart, the dog park is small but was a great place for us to run our doggo. The people are all friendly and the amenities are all top notch including private bathroom/showers. Highly recommend!

This was our second stay at Coachella Lakes. The spaces are huge and the park is beautiful. Great amenities including an 18-hole putting course, pool and spa, pickleball courts, playground, dog park clubhouse and game room, and lots of open space. The grounds are clean and well-maintained. The staff is wonderful and accommodating. This is by far one of my favorite places to stay. We live an hour from the park, which makes this an easy choice for a weekend getaway!

The property was huge, well maintained and super clean. Nice grass areas and dog parks for dogs to have fun. After walkies, my doggos enjoyed laying next to window and taking the sunbath. Fire pit could be reserved at the camp store. We really enjoyed our weekend getaway!

Great luxury camping spot. Many spots but spacious and not cramped like a parking lot style rv campground. The grounds are well kept. The showers, gym, pool, laundry and game room were inviting. We stayed for a nearby lacrosse tournament but would definitely stay again to enjoy the area.

Place is brand new, everything nice and clean. Fun mini golf course and nice gym. Probably a bit more freeway noise than I would like but very convenient to be so close. We only stayed one night so we did not make use of the clubhouse and pool. Would stay again if the opportunity arose.

Staff was amazing and incredibly nice, helpful and genuinely happy about their jobs. Park is relatively new only about 14 months old and the amenities are superb. Loved our back-in site with a view of one of the three lakes. Would highly recommend this park to anyone that is looking for a great place to stay in the Palm Desert area.
