29 Palms RV Resort is located in Twenty-Nine Palms CA, on the north boundary of Joshua Tree National Park. Boasting a golf course, the park has good number of seasonal snowbirds. Places like this are generally not our cup of tea, but we needed a place in town for a night.

Assigned to site 150, we found ourselves between a permanent park model on one side and a big fiver on the other. Behind us...a major road.

Date of visit: Apr 2008

This shows the east end of the park, which is pretty barren. To the left is a row of rental "cottages".

The seasonal folks get better sites than transients like us.

Looking toward to the west end, are more shaded seasonal sites.

It all looks pretty much the same. The allure must be the golf course; there were golf carts loaded with golf bags at most sites.

The office is in the background, beyond the tennis court and the propane fill station. Propane is billed as being sold between 10 AM and noon; since we needed some, we waited until 10 to leave, only to be told that the guys who do that were in training that morning and that it would probably be another hour. Nope, we didn't wait.

Pool and ping-pong are available in the game room. There is also an exercise room and shuffleboard courts.

The well-equipped function room.

The indoor pool is among the biggest I've ever seen at a campground.

Next to the pool is a good-sized spa.
