The trailer worked well for us, especially when a cold spell brought temperatures below freezing for couple of nights in the end of May. It was easy to tow up into the mountains and back. Jonathan is a great host. He is very helpful and accommodating, quick to answer questions, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Will rent from him again.

Gerard is an incredible host and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything to enjoy a great camping trip! The Aurora 13 RDX is a great RV and Gerard maintains it as if you just drove it off the dealer lot (like brand new). He has also added several amenities that make renting this RV more than worth it: smart tv, extra outdoor lighting, extremely thoughtful storage solutions, and all the hookups needed for an RV park. My wife and I had a great time renting from Gerard for our trip to Joshua Tree and give our absolute highest recommendation for him if you are looking to rent an RV. A+ and 10/10.

Renting Fortune Cookie was a great first RVezy experience. The van runs well and it has all of the modern driving features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assistance, and CarPlay. Everything that we needed for our getaway weekend was provided. Communication was great and coordinating pickup and drop off was flexible. No complaints.

We had a really great experience renting this RV from Warren. He was super easy to work with and communicated really well the whole time. This was our first time using RVezy and he helped make it simple and easy. The RV was just as described and ready to go when we picked it up. It's also well stocked with everything needed for the RV and for full site hookup. Would definitely rent this RV again and highly recommend!

We rented this RV for our first Stagecoach trip, and it was a fantastic experience. The owners were incredibly kind, warm, communicative, and very first-time renter friendly. They even accommodated a last-minute request for us, which we really appreciated and speaks to how helpful and flexible they are. Since renting an RV comes with a bit of a learning curve, I definitely recommend watching the video links they provide and maybe a few extra YouTube tutorials before your trip. That said, whenever we had questions, the owners were quick to respond and super helpful. The RV itself was spacious and very comfortable for my husband and me. I’m also a bit of a germaphobe, so cleanliness is a big deal to me. I brought Clorox wipes expecting to do a deep clean, but I was pleasantly surprised at how clean it already was—even in the little nooks and crannies where you’d normally expect dust or grime. It was also well stocked with essentials like RV toilet paper, cleaning supplies, a fire extinguisher, and smoke/carbon monoxide alarms, which gave us extra peace of mind. Some of the sensors were a little finicky at times, but again, the owners were immediately responsive whenever we reached out. One helpful tip for future renters: if you plan to pick it up before departure and want the fridge cooled down before stocking it with perishables, I’d recommend picking it up at least a day early and purchasing an RV power cord adapter so you can plug it in at home. Make sure the RV is level as well, since that helps the fridge cool properly. Overall, this was an excellent first RV rental experience, and I would absolutely rent from them again for another festival or getaway.

RV friendly events in Desert Hot Springs, CA

King of the Hammers

Every late January, the Mojave Desert transforms as the dry lakebed of Johnson Valley becomes Hammertown, the beating heart of King of the Hammers. This two-week off-road racing festival is the biggest of its kind in the country, drawing tens of thousands of passionate fans. Bring an RV and stay close to the lakebed, sleep under desert stars, and experience every raw, adrenaline-fueled moment from your own base camp at the edge of the action.

Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival

Picture hot air balloons lifting over rolling hills as live music drifts across the grass. The Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival turns Lake Skinner into a weekend of color, flavor, and open sky. Taste your way through regional pours, wander the craft and art scene, and let an RV be your private patio between balloon glows and encore sets. It is the kind of trip where mornings feel cinematic and nights feel effortless.

View event details

Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival

Feel the pull of open desert air, world-class stages, and art you can walk through. The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival turns Empire Polo Club into a creative city where music, light, and community collide. An RV gives you a private retreat after the fields go quiet: your kitchen, your bed, and room to reset before the next sunset set. Park the rig near Indio or the greater Palm Springs area, then roll into the festival energy on your schedule.

When is the best time to book an RV rental in Desert Hot Springs?

Summers from June through September are extremely hot, often exceeding 105 degrees Fahrenheit, so plan early-morning activities and choose a campground with full hookups so your AC runs reliably.

Can I take my RV rental outside California or to Mexico?

You can typically explore neighboring states like Arizona and Nevada on your RV road trip from Desert Hot Springs, but travel into Mexico is not allowed because RVezy insurance coverage does not apply across the border.

How early should I reserve campgrounds in Desert Hot Springs?

For the best Desert Hot Springs RV camping, book your site early—especially January through April, when snowbirds and festival-goers pack local parks. Major resorts like Caliente Springs, Catalina Spa, and Sky Valley Resort take reservations online several months in advance. For national parks like Joshua Tree, use Recreation.gov and plan 2-6 months ahead for weekends. If you love spontaneity, shoulder seasons offer easier last-minute bookings around Coachella Valley.

What is the drive like around Desert Hot Springs for RVs?

Driving an RV around Desert Hot Springs is generally straightforward, with wide highways and light traffic outside festival weekends. Main routes like I-10 and CA-62 are RV-friendly and mostly flat, but summer heat can stress engines, so travel in the early morning or evening when possible. The San Gorgonio Pass just west of town is well known for strong crosswinds, so drive cautiously and avoid towing in high-wind advisories. If urban driving feels intimidating, choose RV delivery in Desert Hot Springs and let your host handle setup at the campground.
