Salome KOA / Desert Vista Campground

We visited as temperatures were starting to climb regularly above 100* daily. The campground was pretty sleepy and probably only about 10% full. It did not detract from our visit. we fully used the activity room with its large TV while doing much needed laundry. The bathrooms and the laundry were a bit dated and small but very functional. The pool and the hot tub are relatively new which we used after sunset and lower temperatures. Worth visiting even during the low season of summer. The orange trees were interesting (ripe fruit but quite sour!) as we are not from the region We visited May 2025.

Staff were nice and helpful. No one was in the office on a Saturday or Sunday. Not a problem. Good stop for resting.

Nice RV Park. Has heated pool and hot tub. Hookups for campers, water and septic at the sites.
Lots of desert trails for side by sides.

Maybe not a solid 4 stars but they did have a spacious and comfortable common room with very good shower and restroom facilities, plus a microwave and a coffee maker. However, the plastic picnic tables are well on the way to disintegration in the hot sun, and the tent pads made of hard packed gravel have the permeability of concrete. So don’t plan on staking a tent here. I did meet some nice campers here (never saw a staff person as the office was closed when I arrived at 4:30 pm) but then later there was a noisy altercation two sites away from me in the middle of the night. Perhaps the best thing about this KOA is the proximity to The Market at Amber Hills, just a short walk away.

1 night stay headed north. The place is off the beaten path. Very quiet and vacant. Throughout the night every now and then you can hear cars passing through on us60. The pool & hot tub area were small but enjoyed. Very level sites. But i think its way over priced at $71 night. Should be more like $40.
