I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
While there are many ways to vacation, and enjoy the great outdoors, one of the ways that has become increasingly popular is by RV. When you carry your mini-home with you (or rent one from a company like RV Share), you get the best of several worlds. It’s like camping but with all the conveniences of a rental home, you can travel from place to place without having to pack and unpack repeatedly, etc. If this is how you choose to get away, this RV resort in Desert Hot Springs, CA, is a dream destination for any family.
Sam’s Family Spa and Hot Water Resort - which includes an RV resort, tiny homes, and a hotel - is a sprawling 40-acre paradise in the desert with grand views of the iconic Palm Springs mountains.
The resort has been designed with families in mind as a place to spend time together, relax, and enjoy fun activities. Just check out what this place has to offer.
The roomy RV spaces accommodate rigs of any size easily and feature full hookups, cable TV, free WiFi, picnic tables, and shaded areas. Each site rental includes two wristbands to enjoy all of the on-site resort amenities, and additional wristbands can be purchased daily for $10 per person.
Go for a soothing soak in the therapeutic waters in the resort’s 100 percent natural mineral hot spas. The partially-enclosed spa pools which look out on the tropical grounds are fed by the deep hot mineral wells located on the property.
Guests can also take advantage of a dry sauna, two steam rooms (which also utilize mineral well water to enhance their benefits), and on-site massage therapy.

The large swimming and wading pools are a great way to cool off on a hot day in the desert.
Round up some of your fellow RV-ers and start a friendly grass volleyball tournament or toss some horseshoes. There are also community picnic and BBQ areas, a basketball court, and walking paths through the pretty resort grounds.
The huge recreation room is a great place for the entire family to get out of the sun and hang out, with its library full of books and a comfy reading area, billiards table, classic arcade games, and table tennis. There is even a freezer full of ice cream treats for purchase.
Camping and outdoor activities are more fun when you can bring your fur babies with you, and Sam’s is wonderfully pet-friendly, even providing a little shady, grass-covered park just for them.
This spa resort is a wonderful place to escape for a fun and relaxing weekend. Do you enjoy RV travel? What do you think of this RV resort?
