Joshua Tree RV Camping: Inside the Park and Full-Hookup Options Outside

If you are approaching Joshua Tree from the south — via Palm Springs, Indio, or I-10 — Coachella Lakes RV Resort is a brand-new luxury option in the Coachella Valley. This is a modern, resort-style RV park with full hookups (30/50 amp), manicured landscaping, and an amenity list that reads more like a country club than a campground.

The resort features five lakes, two pools, three spas, a splash pad, pickleball courts, and bocce ball courts. Sites are spacious with concrete pads, and the park is designed for big rigs. If you are traveling with a large Class A and want resort-level comfort between national park excursions, this is the nicest option in the region.

The trade-off is distance. Coachella Lakes is about 40 miles south of Joshua Tree's Cottonwood entrance and about 55 miles from the park's main attractions in the north. It works best as a winter base for snowbirds who want to combine Joshua Tree day trips with Palm Springs dining and Coachella Valley amenities.

Pricing is at the premium end — expect to pay more than the Twentynine Palms options — but the facilities justify it for travelers who prioritize comfort.
