Sam's Family Spa

The sites are extremely narrow. I couldn’t even get my bin open to get to my water hookup. And I saw several RVs that were parked up against or within inches of posts/electrical boxes. The pool area seemed lovely, but I didn’t even get that far. I left after the second site I pulled into (and kind of fit) didn’t have ground electric. F... more

We were supposed to stay at Joshua Tree, but on the day we were meant to check in, the government shut down. As we couldn't find a concrete answer as to whether or not the campgrounds would be open, we made a last-minute decision to call Sam's instead of risk driving all the way into the park and risk having to turn around. The int... more

We had to find a place to stay when we were told we'd have to leave Black Rock Canyon Campground in Joshua Tree National Park on a Friday morning as it was all booked up for the weekend. We looked around a bit online and found Sam's. We had no idea what to expect as we arrived, the reviews were good, but on the drive over we almost ... more

We really enjoyed our stay at Sam's. They had a large campground with a motel, mobile homes, and plenty of RV spots. The spots were decently sized, but difficult to back into if your a large rig (truck+41' fifth wheel). It took us a couple turns to get in, but with the help of some neighbors we made it! The hot springs were very nic... more

Great pools, beautiful views, water to cool off in, unless it’s 100+ degrees, in which case get a motel! We’ve been coming here for 20 years and the place hasn’t changed much. We always choose a site in the “outback” where the views are better, and where it might be windier. Winter is the best time here.

We don't stay in many campgrounds, in large part because I don't do rules, also I'm cheap. I really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere here, you simply pull in, pick a site and setup camp, even for a monthly rental there are no reservations or anyone telling you where to camp. They didn't bitch about my dog's breed or when I washed the t... more

We booked a month here even though we were only staying a couple weeks because a month is cheaper than two weeks even with electric added on. Very strange! The park is dirt and sand with a concrete patio. Sites are very unlevel even though they don't look it. Three out of the four of us had to use several blocks to get level. The ... more

This is a large park with permanent park models throughout the property. Sites are full hook-up and are pretty close together. I had called to reserve a spot and was told they didn't take reservations. Then when we arrived, they asked if we had a reservation. Either way you choose your site when you arrive. We lucked out as we... more

We're not normally commercial RV Park folks, but this one has charm. When you arrive, stay to the left and go select a site. Then check in. We love the first come, first serve nature of this location - especially for monthly stays. The park itself, isn't much. Gravel spots and you WILL need to level as the entire property is on a g... more

We had 3 different couples recommend Sam's Family Spa to us, and I think our expectations were set to high. There aren't any signs directing you where to park while you check in. If you go to the right and park in front of the office you'll be pointed toward the mobile home section of the park, and apparently you won't be able to m... more
