Spots in Mohave Desert

map viewlist view

  • Desert Hot Springs Resort
  • private business Desert Hot Springs CA
  • The lodge itself is not fancy, just a standard-issue two story motel with paper-thin walls. But it's got a restaurant and a bar and all those lovely soaking pools, so it's fancy to me! The motel is a rectangle enclosing the pool area - 6-7 pools, a couple very hot, a big pool where the kids hang out, and a bar area over in the corner. Cool Rat Pack-y kind of place.

  • Jumbo Rocks Campground
  • Joshua Tree National Park, Joshua Tree CA
  • Sites sprinkled around giant rocks. Nice little 1.7 mile loop trail. Beautiful, restful place, even when crowded.

  • Salton Sea State Recreation Area
  • California State Parks, Bombay Beach CA
  • On the east side of the lake, making for spectacular sunsets over the water every night. Very quiet and beautiful and delightful. The big north-south highway and train tracks are pretty close and carry big noisy trucks and trains respectively.

  • White Tanks Campground
  • Joshua Tree National Park, Joshua Tree CA
  • quiet, pretty rocks like in the old westerns, big rocks give you privacy

  • Days Inn
  • private business Victorville CA
  • not fancy, but quite serviceable, restaurants with walking distance
