Beyond the palm-lined city streets, the warm sunshine welcomes all to venture outdoors. No worrying about gloomy, rainy days here! For those who want to step outside the city to a place even more tranquil, nearby Mount San Jacinto State Park is the place to go. In fact, you can park your Palm Springs RV rental here for a while, if the enthralling environment entices you to do so. It also depends on whether or not you can get in, as these sought-after campgrounds fill up rather quickly. Luckily, you’re a stone’s throw away from the heart of Palm Springs, so nothing can get under your skin here. Even if campgrounds are filled to capacity, take the day to do your body some good. Hiking, biking, and horseback riding are all popular activities here. A vast majority of the state park is part of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. This is where the desert oasis meets granite peaks; a land that’s full of contrast and adaptation. Going back and forth between forested enchantment and city splendor is easy with the tram via Palm Springs. But, why stop here? When you rent an RV, you’re looking for more adventure. You want to go places. Drive your Palm Springs camper rental just about an hour east and you will come upon the splendor that is Joshua Tree National Park. The renowned park harbors two very distinct desert ecosystems that come together in a perfect harmony that draws in hiking, climbing, and camping enthusiasts from all walks of life. The lands here are sculpted by the ever-working hands of strong winds and rushes of rain. The surreal geological wonders, rich cultural history, vast wilderness, and signature Joshua Trees add to the enchantment that this place upholds. You’re definitely going to want a few nights out here. The skies glitter with starlight and the constellations can once again tell their tales long lost under all the city lights. With the best RV in Palm Springs, you can watch the dark heavens give rise to the new morning sun - embrace the new day and get back out there! Back toward our city start, the Coachella Valley Preserve - Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve of Thousand Palms is another delight, just 30 minutes to the east. There is no fee to access this haven, though visitors are encouraged to donate toward the Preserve. Many come here to enjoy the day hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and to visit the Palm House and Visitor Center. The desert wilderness, wildlife, trails and more are sure to delight! You can finish out the day with some fun at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, where the animals will be coming back out to enjoy the cooler evening. You’ll be doing a lot of walking here, too, as the zoo offers a joyful journey “through the deserts of the world”. Round out the night with some tasty, well-deserved grub in any nearby restaurant - there are plenty to choose from.
