Lake Havasu
It was a unique experience driving over the London Bridge. It’s hard to believe the bridge once spanned the River Thames in London, England and now links an island in the Colorado River to Lake Havasu City. Each granite block was numbered and transported to the USA in 1967. It was decorated for the holidays.
Lake Havasu State Park
There was good spacing between RV sites. We pulled in for stunning views of Lake Havasu. Each evening there was a colorful sunset. Other than not having sewer or Wifi, we really enjoyed this park.
Twenty-five scaled reproductions of lighthouses from around the country were scattered about the area.
Palm Springs
We had stayed in Palm Springs multiple times over the last 30 years, but this was our first time staying at an RV park. It’s a beautiful location and a breath of fresh air only a few hours from San Diego or Los Angeles.
Outdoor Resort Palm Springs
Built in 1985, Outdoor Resort was a perfect destination…other than no wifi. There are 1,213 sites on 137 landscaped acres. We considered buying a pad. They had multiple pools, hot tubs, huge gym, an Italian restaurant, a 9 hole pitch and putt and an 18 hole par 3 golf course. The snow capped San Jacinto Mountains were stunning in the background. The mountains top out at an elevation of 10,800 feet. Costco was only 10 minutes away. We could have melted into the this location for the next 5 months.
We backed up against a tee box with stunning views of the golf course and mountains. They allowed vehicle washing, so we took the opportunity to wash the Jeep and RV. It was nice having a gym and restaurant on the property. Jake really enjoyed the individual dog runs. He made many new friends.
Joshua Tree National Park
It was nice to visit another National Park and see the unique Joshua Trees. The rock formations were created by groundwater which filtered through the joints of the rock and eroded the corners and edges of each block creating the unique shapes and rounded boulders. The area is popular among rock climbers.
We enjoyed a few short hiking trails.
A pond and pictographs.
