Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Drought on Cali

We are planning on spending a couple months in Palm Springs beginning around mid-December. I was wondering how the current drought and water restrictions are affecting RVer's? And does anyone have any reccomendations on RV parks in the area?

Only within the last couple of weeks has the drought began to effect the residents. It's really too early to tell how it will effect RVers. Since you will only be using water for personal use and cooking I doubt RVers will notice any difference.

Palm Springs sits on an aquifir so it hasn't been affected much by droughts.

Most RV resorts already have restrictions in place that help conserve water (no washing of RVs, low flow showers and toilets in restrooms, recycled water for landscaping...etc.). The big water drain is water is for landscaping so most of the drought restrictions focus on outside water use...only water your lawn on odd days, turn off fountains, don't wash your car.

So the answer is you won't be affected and in fact by December there may not be a drought.

Sams in Desert Hot Springs is popular with those who shy away from fancy resorts. Most parks in the area got full last year so good thing you're checking now!

El Nino conditions are predicted for September so we'll see if that fills some of our near-empty reservoirs (fingers crossed). I agree with Mark that RVers should see no impact - unless maybe there will be less "rig-washing" allowed .

I know at least some of the state parks are not allowing water hookups.

Thanks Jodee. We actually just booked Sam's for our stay. And you guessed right, I am not a fancy resort person. I am a full timer indeed, but more of a happy camper type, than I need lots of amenities person. Thanks!!! Sheryle
