Practically, pricing is a live quote by dates, site class and stay length, booked directly, and our guide notes that Palm Springs area resorts quote monthly rates with separately metered electricity for winter stays. The desert is best October through April. The trade-off is that there is no fixed nightly rate to plan around, and the adults-only pool signals a resort geared to snowbirds rather than families. Verify the site class and rig-fit range before you book.
