Maybe my expectations were too high considering this is supposed to be a luxury RV resort but here's my experience. I arrived on Saturday and went to check in at the office. They were pleasant, assigned me a spot and gave me a map. I went to the spot they assigned me, and someone was already there. So, I went back to the office and told them. They apologized for the inconvenience and told me to go pick an open spot and call them to tell them where I ended up, so I did. They then said that someone was going to be arriving at that site on Thursday so I said ok just assign me a spot near this one and they did so I moved one more time and ended up in spot 8. I have a very manageable 21 foot class B but it would have been a major pain to have to move around a bunch of times for a bigger rig. Still, I had a long day of driving and just wanted to get set up and relax so the situation was less than ideal. Spot 8 is nice, however, there is a gate behind the site and people have been using it so I wouldn't recommend this spot if you would be bothered by people walking through your site. Monday I decided to run some errands so I left for a couple hours. Again, I have the class B so it’s also my vehicle. I left my chair, a dog leash and my rug set up at my site. When I came back from my errands... my site was empty. Also, I should note, the empty site to the left of me had a sewer hose hanging out of the sewer hook up for the whole time I was there and the site to the right of me had a water hose hooked up. No one had come to clean or remove items from those empty sites, but I leave the site I have rented for the week for just a couple of hours and they took all my stuff. I called the office and they apologized. They admitted it was them that cleared my site accidently but were only able to locate my chair which they brought back to me. Somehow the other items were nowhere to be found and they said they didn’t see them when they picked up the chair which I find difficult to believe since the leash was in the seat of the chair. I'm guessing they tossed it all into a dumpster and could only find the chair. Luckily for me, since I now have to replace them, they weren’t expensive items. But they were my belongings and I'm pretty salty about the whole experience. I’ve been traveling for months and have never had anyone touch anything at my site. Location is ok, the road and trains are loud. The bathrooms/showers re nice. The resort texts upcoming events, things like line dancing and pickle ball, all for an additional fee of course. Overall, overpriced and a bad experience, not planning on staying here again.
Lovely, clean, spacious place with sliders and big windows with shades and wrap around patio and fruit trees. It was very private and safe. I loved walking my poodle around the whole gated community. I also loved that there was a pickle ball pro ready to teach! The only negative was the dull guy at the front desk who was very rude while we were checking out on 10/23/23 ... very unprofessional. We stayed 3 nights 10/20-10/22 in #2 casita.
We really enjoyed our two night stay at Emerald Desert RV Resort. The resort is clean and tidy. Staff is friendly and helpful. The train and highway are a little distractive. Dog run is fantastic. Park wasn't full, so we didn't have anyone on either side of us. Sites might be just a little close if it was busy.
Although the staff is friendly and grounds are very clean, pools and hot tubs are nice…but…wish we would have known how close to freeway and round the clock train tracks we were. Thankful we brought our sound machine. We’ll be staying elsewhere next time! Oh, and the biggest draw was pickleball courts, but they also didn’t inform us that they were currently “under renovation”! A big let down….especially when they advertised pickleball clinics and tournaments!
This was our first visit to this Park. Friendly staff and clean environment. Easy to reach off the freeway and not too far from major stores and fuel. Pads are concrete and grass with plenty of room to navigate. Dog friendly with multiple sectioned 'walks' with gates, etc. We stayed for several nights and would not hesitate to do so again. Thank you!
