Indian Waters RV Resort

This is a beautiful resort in the middle of Indio close to Interstate 10. Our site #13 was a back in “Standard Grass” site with concrete pads to park both the MH and tow, FHU 20/30/50 amp site. We had a grass sitting area. We were escorted to our site and assistance was provided for backing in. There was Wifi but it was just fair. Verizon 4G was 4 bars. No cable but plenty of OTA channels. We had no picnic table or grill or fire ring. Landscaping in the resort is beautiful. There are multiple pools, hot tubs, basketball, tennis and more. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The park is gated and fenced in.

We stayed here for Contact in the Desert 2019 (yes, we are those people).

The campground was sparsely populated when we were here and our pull-through site was huge. You could probably fit about 5 of our little 16' ft camper in the spot. Pads are concrete, the distance to your neighbors is average. They are close, but not too close. Full-hookups all were good, water pressure is fine with a regulator.

It gets very hot here, so we had the AC running while in the park and had no problems. There was no shade at our site, and there didn't look to be much in the way of shade at any of the sites.

There are two swimming pools, one that is I think 3ft, and the other is much deeper. Very clean. Very clean bathhouses as well.

No propane refill on site. They refer you to a local market down the road. Close to where the conference was held, as well as other hotels.

It was also very quiet.

Indian Waters is a nice, clean resort with enough amenities for most everyone. We were there over the Christmas/New Years holiday and the resort hosted some nice events. In addition, they offer waffles and OJ every morning if you are so inclined. This is not a 55 plus community so be aware that there will be families at this park but the majority of folks were snowbirds. The management was pleasant and there are some upgrades being done to the pool area.

We were in site 88 which was a deluxe patio with grass which was a spacious site. This location meant we were near the club house and wifi was very good. The downside is that we were right in front of the staging area so on a busy day when there were alot of rigs coming in, it is a bit noisy. At night, it was very quiet so we slept very well.

Indio is a bit farther from Palm Springs but there is every type of store you would need in La Quinta. We loved the Sprouts Market ...great produce and meat department. The whole area has great biking and well marked bike lanes.

We were pleasantly surprised by Indian Waters... we feared being tightly packed like sardines but the sites were more spacious than expected (for a commercial RV park). For our one-week stay we chose the cheapest site, a gravel back-in, and it was comfortable for us with a separate concrete pad for our car and a tree. The park is very well maintained with attractive landscaping, trees, grassy areas, and lakes. There were three grassy dog parks (two large enough for our Labrador to play comfortably) and a walking path around one section of the RV park. The WiFi worked sometimes but we found ourselves relying on our hotspot other times. Both Verizon and AT&T had strong signals but were sometimes slow. This being our first time in the area, we discovered that Indio was a bit further away from Palm Springs than we expected, so we had several 45-minute drives to do our touristy things. Given the high price of many other RV parks in the area, we found Indian Waters to be a good balance of quality and price. Our one week stay with Escapees discount came to $36/night plus tax. We would likely return here in the future.

I hadn't been out camping in a while and so just chose this park because of proximity to my RV storage place after getting my Airstream out of storage. On the plus side I was impressed with the wide, clean roads, the locked gate to get in, and the cute pond on the property. Laundry facilities and shower were clean. On the con side I did not like that my water spigot had a broken handle, which hurt my hand and was hard to turn. I also couldn't fit my electronic plugs into the electric outlet. Other than that the place was okay and reasonably priced for the area.

We spent a night here on our way out of L.A. It was a wonderful RV park. In early April, the price was VERY reasonable. The hot tub was heavenly and the pool very nice and warm. We opted for a grass site and a concrete pad. The escort to the site was very much appreciated. The Resort is in town, but the road noise was not bad at all. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
