RV Rental Rancho Mirage, CA

You can leave your RV trailer rental in Rancho Mirage and walk to the beautiful San Bernardino National Forest where you’ll find miles of trails through the mountain landscape. You will see many different kinds of pines and oaks as well as rocks and minerals. There is both hunting and fishing on offer, and in the winter you can build a snowman and go skiing. There are also beautiful waterfalls such as the picturesque Seven Falls.

Coachella Valley Preserve is located a little bit farther away but is still very close to your motorhome rental in Rancho Mirage. Here you can hike with the whole family on trails running through both the desert and several green palm oases. You’ll find smoke trees and desert lavender as well as animal species that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. One example of these is the fringe-toed lizard that depends on the unique sand dunes for its survival.

Another unique place is the large Salton Sea. Here you can go boating in the water that has a very high salt level, as the name suggests. It’s so salty that some fish can’t take it and the lake has a beach made up entirely from dead fish and bones, which is quite a rare sight. You can also see mud pots as well as quirky things like the sole tree and the bedazzled truck. After a day of exploring, sit down and enjoy a banana shake at the International Banana Museum.

There are plenty of places to park your RV rental in Rancho Mirage and the surrounding areas. At the Cathedral Palms RV Resort, only minutes away, there are full hookups, a swimming pool, and lots of activities such as basketball. There’s access to a hiking trail and Wi-Fi so that you can talk to friends and family while you’re away. At Rancho Mirage RV & Mobile Village you can sit down and relax or have a swim in the pool. There are also full hookups as well as restrooms with showers and laundry facilities.

Should you want an RV park with more activities, consider a stay at Palm Springs RV Camping. Here you’ll have access to showers, laundry facilities, and a swimming pool, as well as a game room, a library, and a ballroom hall. The park also offers activities such as jam sessions, arts and crafts, and potlucks.

If you want to make a little trip to a large grocery store, there are a couple in the Rancho Mirage area. You’ll also find both convenience stores and gas stations close to your luxury RV rental in Rancho Mirage, great for those picnic supplies and midnight snack emergencies.

If you brought your kids, the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert is an enjoyable attraction for both you and them. Here you can build your own race car, explore wind, the human body, and there are board games to be played too. In one area, photos are taken after someone wins or loses and then you can guess what the outcome was. It's a great cure for sore losers. Outside you can have a look at the tortoise habitat or the edible plants - just make sure to not chew on a cactus.

To learn even more, you can visit the Tolerance Education Center. The mission of this center is to promote tolerance, respect, and understanding by trying to eliminate hatred and bigotry, a mission that can be seen in both their exhibits and the activities you’ll find at the center. There are various celebrations, film screenings, and lectures, all with the goal to open your mind and promote critical thinking. You can also hear stories from people who have survived horrible injustices such as the Holocaust.

For a lighter experience, the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens is a delightful place where you can see both plants and animals that belong in the various deserts of the world. Why not have a wander through the gardens and see plants such as African aloes or varieties that attract hummingbirds. Then you can watch the cheetahs run, try to count the stripes of a zebra, and even feed a giraffe. When you are hungry yourself, there’s a café where you can have your lunch. In the city, you can find restaurants with food from England, Italy, and Mexico, but one of the most popular choices seems to be the steakhouse.

Whether you’re interested in the desert or just want some fun in the sun while drinking a banana shake, it definitely seems like a good idea to book an RV in Rancho Mirage. Make sure that you have enough sunscreen and that your hiking boots are ready, then hop to it!
