  We love this park, the pool and hot tub are clean and well maintained. Teto at the gate is friendly and gets you to you spot efficiently. Brittany in the Recreation lodge is fantastic. The pull thru sites are spacious even though they are only 30amp. We make this a regular stop on our way south and north while snowbirding.

  On our way to the Phoenix, we’re stopped by at this Palm Springs Thousands Trails for a 2 day visit. We’re checked in kinda late and it’s was dark too. We’re so lucky that Brian M. Who was working at the check-in booth helped/guided us to our site because of our long RV and towing a pickup behind. With Brian helping us making our late night check in was beautiful and without any scratches/damages to our motorhome. Thanks again Brian M. for your assistance. Q Tran

  As an Adventure member driving a 44 foot pusher, I was just stuck in a spot they leaves my nose hanging into the street. There are at least 50 other empty spots I could have but they are “NOT AVAILABLE”. This new assigned site program at Thousand Trails sucks and the local employees are doing absolutely nothing to make it better for the lifetime customers. This park is less than a 1/4 full at this point but TT is now blocking the nicer spots for retail customers or potential seasonal rentals forcing other members into less than desirable sites.

  My husband and I absolutely love this park—it’s one of our favorites in the Thousand Trails network. TT is the sweetest; she’s so helpful and always greets us with the biggest smile. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. We really enjoy the social activities and the Taco Tuesday truck. I’d recommend this park to families, couples, or even women traveling solo. It’s clean, safe, and supportive with wonderful amenities. There’s even a little library and a kids’ play area! The park is modern and well-maintained, with cute cabins available as well. It’s also just a short drive to downtown, and the RV sites are relatively level—which I appreciate because I don't enjoy parking on a hill (lol). If you time your visit right, you might even catch some great live music! We’re proud to call this park our home away from home and can’t wait to come back to see Marcus, TT, Teresa and the rest of our Thousand Trails family. Thank you all for everything you do. 🌞 🧜‍♀️ 🌴

  A Park Transformed Under New Leadership I’ve been visiting Thousand Trails Palm Springs for the past couple of years, and I’m pleased to report that the park is now under new management with significant improvements underway. The new manager, Marcus, has really taken the initiative to address long-standing issues. He’s visible throughout the park daily and clearly committed to turning things around. Other than never actually seeing the previous manager, one of the biggest problems historically was many non-functioning power pedestals at numerous sites, leaving the sites unusable and empty during the busy season when the park is sold out. Over recent weeks, many have been replaced with new, working units. When an RV accidentally ran over a newly installed pedestal last week, Marcus’s team had electricians on-site repairing it first thing the next morning. That kind of responsiveness is definitely impressive, and was noticed by many of us! If you had a negative experience here in the past, I’d encourage you to give the park another chance. The current management team seems genuinely dedicated to making up for previous shortcomings, and many staff members are new this season. I want to give special recognition to TT, who returned this season and is now managing the Rangers. She’s always been exceptionally helpful and welcoming, greeting everyone with a smile at the gate and quickly addressing any concerns. When I requested a longer pull-through site to accommodate some trailer repairs, she was more than accommodating. Areas for improvement: The street lights could use adjustment—many are extremely bright and aimed poorly, shining directly into campsites or pointing upward rather than illuminating the roads. This creates an uncomfortable situation for campers trying to relax in the evening, and unsafe conditions when driving or walking through the campground at night, as the lights are aimed up and will blind you. However, on departure day, while exiting the park, I was stopped by a new Ranger who demanded my parking pass as a part of the “check out” process. After telling him I already threw it away, the interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational, especially since rangers regularly patrol to check sites for check-outs. Most campgrounds don’t require formal checkout procedures, and when you’re ready to hit the road after a stay, being stopped can be extremely frustrating. Despite these minor issues, this was genuinely the best stay I’ve had at this park. The improvements are real and noticeable. If it wasn’t for the confrontational Ranger, I would have given 5 stars. I’m looking forward to seeing continued progress under Marcus’s leadership! ***Ok so after just reading some of the other reviews on here, I have a few side notes. I’ll say this about the noise. Yes, you can hear the freeway and the trains. But after being there for a day, it’s unnoticeable. And with the AC running, I never hear it when I’m inside my rig. If you want complete silence where you’re camping, go out in the wilderness. Not a campground in a metropolitan area. And yes, some of the sites are tighter than others but that’s with every campground. I’m almost 65 feet in total length (Class A dragging a 25 foot car trailer), and I’ve had no problems navigating the park. I’ve stayed in every section of this park. Just take it slow, watch for trees, and know how your rig maneuvers (know when you need to swing wide so you don’t run over a power pedestal lol). If you really feel like you can’t get your rig into the site that was assigned to you, just ask the Rangers if they can move you to another site. Just be friendly about it. The staff didn’t design the layout of the campground, and you should know how to drive your own rig. It’s not their fault. Happy and safe travels!
