Enjoy Our Nature

We take great pride in the landscape of our park, and we make nature look good. However, we are still in a natural environment and want you to be aware of some common “visitors” to our park. Ants are rather good at making themselves known anytime of the year. You can help un-invite these guests by keeping a clean campsite and making sure all pet food is covered. Coyotes, snakes, lizards, scorpions, spiders and hawks are also common wildlife visitors. While we will do our best to help keep pests and critters at bay, Palm Springs/Joshua Tree KOA will not be liable or responsible for damages or expenses incurred due to animal or insect behavior.
