You get what you pay for and even more. For $20 a day per person we had access to a large pool, kids pool, four hot water mineral water pools, sauna, steam room, we also got a table with grill. The facilities were clean, staff was very friendly. We had fun!

It's been awhile since spending time with friends & family at Sams. We had East Coast company come in for a long weekend & decided to re-visit Sams. Was pleased with the clean grounds, lots of grass, shade & sun were both available, and it looks like the pool & spas were recently redone. Very nice atmosphere to relax &... More

Desert life is different. To the average person it'll usually seem harsh, hot and desolate. It is. And that's the beauty in it. Especially in the evening, night and early morning when there's a cool breeze, clear sky, the stars, moon and quite. Sam's is a great place to kick-back and take it in. My family and I camped in...

We stayed here in a rented RV for 3 nights, with 2 active boys, ages 9 and 12. Everyone in our family loved this spot. I read the reviews on this site before staying here, and all I can say is that we found the staff in the office to be very friendly. The office is open from 7:30 a.m.... More

I love this place because reasonable price for day use. Forget about hotel room. Not worth to stay. Front Clark person are not welcoming or friendly. If you go winter time, meet lots a people from Canada, North America. I'm always enjoying their story. I love visitors, Hot Springs, price is right for day use but I don't recommend motel... More

This was our second year here. We came wondering if our expectations were too high and left knowing we would return for year three. It was like coming home and we were sorry to leave when our 6 weeks were up. The park has everything; exceptionally friendly staff, clean facilities, park activities, and the pools and hot tubs are superb.... More

We arrived in Sam's RV park at 9pm without a prior booking, having unexpectedly found that RV parks in Palm Springs were all full (in February!) due to an Arts festival over the long weekend of President's day. Our late arrival was no problem - the office is open until 10pm. The park is in the middle of the desert,... More

We stayed left after 2 days. The floor in the changing room and shower area was disgusting with dirt and hair. There is no way those floors are cleaned daily. It looked and felt slimey. Couldn't pay me to go into the steam room or sauna!

We arrived on Dec 30th intending to stay one month. A day or so later, I noticed a few small pieces of what seemed to be plastic from a shampoo bottle (?) on the floor inside one of the two ladies main shower stalls. Two days went by and it was all still there. I was quite concerned now over... More

We started "Snow Birding" seven years ago in the Phoenix and found that area too busy for our liking. The next year, we ventured west to Palm Springs and just by luck ended up at Sam's. Although our time there was short, it made enough of a positive impression that we have returned year after year staying longer each time.... More
