The RV park itself is peaceful, easy to navigate, and in a really convenient location if you're bouncing between Indio and Joshua Tree -- which I did. I even made it out to Joshua Tree National Park, and the drive from the resort was super smooth. The resort has plenty of space, good energy, and the overall environment feels safe and relaxed. Staff was decent and check‑in was easy. That said, the toilets definitely need a deep cleaning. Not terrible, but not up to the standard the rest of the park sets. If they improved that, it would elevate the whole experience.

Also, we felt safe walking our dog at night with lights and security. Very clean restrooms and facilities spread out throughout the property.

After hours check in was easy, and communication from staff was very helpful. The dog park was great, our yellow lab enjoyed running free in the morning! Overall, we'd definitely come back!

During our stay, we had several RVs together as a group, and it seemed to create some tension with nearby resident who are used to a much quieter environment. This is at the entrance don't know if the lady has anger issues came out cussing. Was not even 10 pm. She seemed not all there. I think the experience would be better for everyone if visitors and long-term residents were placed in separate areas whenever possible. It would allow vacationers to relax and enjoy their stay while also respecting the peace and quiet that full-time residents expect. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely consider returning.

Basecamp is intended to be a fun area to hang out at and camp on with your friends while having a…read morelively experience at Coachella. So far, I have found this experience to be horrid. The camping itself is not horrid in any aspect- it is mainly the promises that it fails to keep. A friend and I recently camped here for Coachella weekend two and spent $75 each on air balloon rides- they ended up being cancelled. That was upsetting but understandable considering the winds were said to be strong. There were said to be four to five shuttles to transport people to and back from Coachella. An employee even said to us as we parked, "don't worry it's so friendly here you can even get the driver's number and text him when you're ready to go" Turns out there are only three shuttles- no one is allowed to have the drivers phone number for some reason. The shuttles arrive every hour with poor time leaving 30-40 people waiting for shuttles for over an hour on both day 1 and day 2 of Coachella. If not longer- we ended up taking a private bus back because our experience was so bad. Considering we paid $75 each for shuttle passes it's ultimately upsetting and irritating. Basecamp was intended to be a fun place to stay and hangout and with a pool and bars it seems like it- but they are also lacking in Amenaties- with only 3-4 small lounge areas there really is no place to hangout during the hot days. The bathrooms are also lacking in the upkeep. This picture is from one of the women's bathrooms- which started to leak and continues to 24 hours later.

In 3 words: Awful Horrible Deception!…read more Base Camp made a reduction to the no of nights during my stay from 4 nights to 3 on 19th April 2018 a few hours prior to the night of my check in, I received an email from Base Camp stating that check in was cancelled due to winds. This was extremely unfortunate news on the night of myself and my guest's arrival from London to LA as the notice provided on the weather forecast was only announced at very short notice. As a result of this late announcement, alternative accommodation had to be sought and paid for, on the same day of my arrival as there was no other option of where to sleep. This proved to be very stressful and expensive and an inconvenient start to my Coachella holiday. I visited Base Camp based on reviews and recommendations online and my overall experience proved to have fallen short of anything positive. Upon arrival at the check-in desk on 20th April, we were not welcomed so gracefully, in addition to this - not one colleague apologised for the cancellation made with little detail and notice and showed little regard for the inconvenience it caused for the guests. The reasons for the cancellation on this occasion, as a Customer, was completely outside of our control. The decision was made by Base Camp but no refund had been accounted for the loss of nights stay and accommodation. Whilst safety may have been the driver, forecasts should have been assessed well in advance and communicated clearly to all guests in the most practical form via email, or your website. I repeatedly requested to speak to a site manager, who was never available, I was advised he will visit our tent but never did. I then Spoke to Derrick (Supervisor) whom advised that comms would definitely be sent out to guests on the handling of our cancelled check in on 19th April and added that any costs incurred to arrange alternative accommodation would also be taken care of; but zero communication has been received to date!!!. The management of this incident has been below standard. Additional concerns and issues that lead to an overall poor experience: - Directions to venue were unclear, no signs anywhere close the the front of the campsite stating "Base Camp" - Toilets were dirty, constantly blocked and lacked hygiene and sanitizations - Blankets and sheets limited, hard beds - Pool was extremely small - Showers were cold and stopped intermittently and were very unreliable - Tents were not and far from furnished, a bed and chair is basic and looked nothing as advertised on the website - Staff were rude and charged $75 for a shuttle bus that wasn't well highlighted (no Base Camp sign or red lights were placed on our 10pm bus as we were previously advised) on return back to camp from Coachella festival. This completely ruined out Coachella stay, avoid avoid AVOID!

We've interacted with several staff members and all of them were nice, extremely helpful and accommodating. The lake had beautiful views of the mountains and everyone had a great time. During the summer weekends, they have water play for the kids. There is a playground, volleyball and basketball courts and plenty of paved roads to ride bikes or scooters. The RV itself said it accommodates 6 people but personally I think it's good for 3-4 people. If you're very tall, the beds will be cramped for you. Everything you need is provided. Just bring your own food and drinks. There is a market at the entrance to buy some snacks, ice cream and drinks. All in all, we were very pleased with the campground and the great people working there. Highly recommended.
