    3 days on the shower door
    Ryan G.

    If zero was an option Desert trails was a disaster We stayed for 4 nights and it was a disaster They place all overnighters in a high traffic activities area, close to bathrooms that are gross but at least by bathrooms. The people who snowbird or live there are really nice for the most part some were aggressive for us even using the showers. Pros Cons Smelly el centro - Bathroom had blood on the shower doors for 3 days - loud - gravel - no view - nothing really to go do in the area - expensive

    Sunrise

    Staff very friendly & helpful. Restrooms clean , nice swimming pool & jacuzzi. Will be back .

    Sunbeam Lake Rv Resort - Blue Angels right overhead

    We had a great time here at Sunbeam. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The pool and…read morejacuzzi were both perfect temperature and the surrounding facilities were very clean. We were there to go to the yearly airshow at NAF El Centro but it was so nice at the RV resort we just set up our chairs and picnic on the grass by the lake and watched the Blue Angels from there. This may be a yearly stop or more for us !!

    We stopped by to check out Sunbeam Lake RV Park. We thought we may be interested in staying here…read more It looks great on their website so we drove over to see. We thought for sure it would be a place we would like to be. The entrance is gated so we had to call the office to enter. We went to the office where they gave us a pass for our car. We saw the large pool, the nice exercise room, laundry and clubhouse. There were kids in the pool splashing and playing. There is Sunbeam Lake that goes past the office and some of the sites. The lake seems more than a pond as it isn't far across but it is long and runs to the road-where it is public. They say jet skis and boats are allowed-but no swimming. There are no lake sites or lagoon sites for RVs or park models unless someone sells theirs. We drove to see the various sites. The sites are gravel though not many trees. The park just seems to be missing that personal & friendly touch. Quiet is important to us after working & living out of a suitcase for the last year-so being at an adults-only park where it's quiet is very important to us. Sunbeam Lake may be nice but it didn't connect with us.

    Owner is very honest and gracious (I forgot a tote bag while staying here, so I called in to see if…read moreit still might be there - Craig found it and I asked if he could send it over to San Diego - he did, and it came the very next day. He didn't even ask for a paypal payment for the postage before, but I made sure to send it right when I got it.) Some have mentioned that the hot springs weren't hot. I normally like the temp really high, and the springs here do not disappoint. And if you want it even hotter, there is a hose right next to the springs that you can use to fill your tub with more hot water (it comes out very, very hot... you do have to wait 30-60 seconds though for the water to start coming out very hot). There are 6 individual hot spring tubs, and about 50 feet away there is a pool area with a jacuzzi. At night when I went, the water was hot (perfect temp). I also went in the morning, and the water was really warm, enough so that you can stay in for an hour or more comfortably. At night I would stay in for a few minutes, and get out to cool off, repeat, etc. I think they do that on purpose (cooler temps during the morning, maybe daytime) so you can enjoy them even though it's hot outside. I did use the hose in the morning to heat up the bath even more, and it worked well. People around were chill, seemed like everyone had good vibes, everyone was doing their own thing. They did have a BBQ on Saturday where everyone got together, they have food an everything, and everyone in the campground was invited - I didn't go as I had just got there, but next time I will for sure. Seemed like there are many longer term guests that all know each other, everyone we met was very kind and generous. Overall great experience.

It is an oasis in the desert with hot mineral baths and a beautiful saltwater pool there's also a place called the outback where they have live music and barbecues.

    Overall, our stay was disappointing, and we ended up leaving after the first night. It was…read moreextremely hot, but more importantly, it just wasn't the peaceful camping experience we were looking for. There were fire ants everywhere, and I wish I were exaggerating when I say that cockroaches were literally crawling on both of us during the night. The campground was also very noisy, with loud music until around 10 p.m. and people driving by our tent talking loudly in the middle of the night, making it difficult to sleep. It also felt more like a full-time RV park than a campground, so it lacked the atmosphere we were hoping for. The only real positives were the clean bathrooms and the grassy area for dogs. There is a pool and jacuzzi, but neither was anything special. The pickleball courts are rundown but still usable. Unfortunately, the noise, insects, heat, and overall atmosphere outweighed the positives, and we wouldn't stay here again.

    Resort is a bit of a stretch of the imagination to describe De Anza Springs Resort. To me, it's…read moremore of a glorified camp ground. Be prepared to go about a mile on an extremely dusty, bumpy road once you get off the I-8 offramp. So don't wash your car before this trip. Many different ways of staying. I chose a room that was part of a small 6 room motel section, two of the rooms are wheel chair accessible with a ramp & wheel chair friendly shower. The narrow room was clean. Bed comfortable enough. Heater worked well when outdoor night temperatures went down to the upper 30°F's in late November. Price at about $160 per night was expensive considering it is basic accommodation in the middle of nowhere which was fine with me since I value quiet & silence. Close to Jacumba Hot Springs Resort which is rather classy and was my original goal since Jacumba Restaurant Caravan Lounge, where I was dining, was hosting a pop up dinner by noted Chef Brian Redzikowski. After dinner, I got to soak my feet in the heated, curative sulfur spring pool. Unfortunately, the rather large pool at De Anza Springs does not have those healthful sulfur waters. When I called by phone to make a reservation, Patty was very informative telling me: "There is no internet nor phone access at the locked entry gate to the property. So I should receive the new entry code about a day before the reservation date. If not, be sure to contact the main office which closes at 5pm." I assume that if you anticipate getting there after 5pm, it would be recommended to call the office before the 5pm closure to make arrangements for late arrival. De Anza is good for what it is. Basic accommodations that are adequate. Btw, great star gazing for those astronomically inclined. 3 stars
