Red Desert Rose Campground

This no-frills campground is a desert gravel parking lot with full hookups. Sites are level with some occasional patches of scrub grass. Sites are extremely close together. BUT, as previous reviews have all said, everything works and the bathrooms/showers were very clean. We didn’t see or use the laundry. The dog park is a fenced-in section of desert, no grass. Very nice people in the office at check-in. Store has very little, but does have some basic essentials. WIFI worked very well. Only two TV channels. Lots of big rigs here, all are in good shape. Seems like many of the campers are long-term, maybe some of them are temporary workers in the area. No one seems to spend any time outdoors, everyone seems to remain in their RVs. We definitely got the vibe that we should lock things up – notices on the bathrooms referenced vandalism as well as security with cameras. Not a vacation campground – just a clean place to stay for a night as you are passing through.

So check in was a little confusing, they put us in a spot that was taken but we just moved over one spots and let the front desk know. The women’s restrooms/ shower facility is clean, well lit, and water pressure is great. The have a laundry facility that I adore. The washer/dryer run times are posted so there is no excuse to let clothes sit. The sites can use a little yard maintenance but couldn’t beat the monthly value. Overall I recommend.

Worst campground on our 10 day trip. Our site was occupied when we got there. Guy said he had been there for days and had booked it for another week. Found an employee and she moved us to another site which had no sewer hookup that I had paid for. She said we could dump and she wouldn’t charge us, how nice—not! Next morning we woke up to a broken hydrant next to us flooding our campsite. We could not get out our door without wading water let alone getting our hook ups put up. I see they have credited my acct. $2.00 for our inconvenience. Don’t waste your time or money stopping here. There are nicer campgrounds in the area.

Not a place you will want to vacation ever! Drug trafficking, residents speeding and gunning engines thru the park, weeds, stickers, and very skinny sites, unlevel pads, just not a nice place to stay for the amount they are charging. We had to leave early for family emergency and they did not reach out after I let them know nor refund any of our stay because of leaving early. Heartless!

Large facility with lots of spaces. Very nice folks running the place, for RVs and trailers it's great. I'm not sure how the tent sites are, because I needed electrical, so I was camped in (and paid for) an RV site. Monthly rates are available but they close completely over the winter. Location is convenient for both access and available stores etc. but the highway noise is significant at least in a tent. Showers are excellent. Two nice fenced areas for dogs. Playground, putt-putt golf, other amenities.
