Discover Desert Hot Springs RV rentals for memorable road trips

Often referred to as DHS, Desert Hot Springs is a tourism destination in the northern Coachella Valley of California.

Outdoors Adventures

Desert Hot Springs is fortunate to be surrounded by incredible desert landscapes and a wealth of nature parks so you won’t be disappointed when you rent an RV in the town with the intention of exploring. San Jacinto Mountain dominates the skyline of Desert Hot Springs so many visitors feel obligated to venture off and see the mountain for themselves. San Jacinto Mountain is found in San Bernardino National Forest, a stunning collection of wilderness areas, mountain ranges, and waterfalls. Speaking of waterfalls, two of the largest waterfalls in the state are found in the forest. Big Falls and Bonita Falls are heavenly water features cascading from high atop rocky cliffs, and an amazing experience to behold. There are several places to camp in the park if you decide to bring your Desert Hot Springs RV rental to visit.

RV Parks to Visit

You shouldn’t have too much difficulty locating an accommodating place to stay while renting a Desert Hot Springs motorhome rental, especially with Joshua Tree National Park being so close to town. In fact, the national park is home to several campgrounds that park guests can use, with fantastic sunsets, sunrises, and night skies to enjoy while sitting around a crackling campfire. Several of the hot springs in town are actually located at campgrounds and RV parks, like Catalina Spa & RV Resort. The Catalina Spa has odorless, natural mineral hot springs for guests to enjoy, as well as a pool, a fitness center, tennis courts, and more.

City Sightseeing

In Desert Hot Springs, it should come as no surprise that the hot springs themselves remain the biggest attraction in town. There are over 20 lodges and natural spas built over the original hot springs where guests can go to be pampered; these all-inclusive spas help relax, revitalize, and energize people so the rest of their vacation is one-of-a-kind. Cabot’s Pueblo Museum is a massive handmade pueblo structure made from scratch, with over 30 rooms. The doors and windows and other items at the house were taken from abandoned homesteads to create a colossal “Frankenstein” house that is both functional and beautiful. The museum is a great place to learn a thing or two about the Cahuilla indigenous people, the original homesteaders, and more about the history of the town and area.
