Coachella Lakes RV Resort in Coachella, California, is welcoming guests to a full month of holiday cheer next month (December), offering a robust lineup of family-friendly activities, contests, and themed events designed to create memorable experiences for travelers and residents alike.
The luxury RV destination, located just minutes from the Coachella festival grounds, Joshua Tree National Park, and Palm Springs, will transform into a desert holiday oasis throughout the month with daily and weekend festivities.
Guests can enjoy the resort’s signature amenities—including 351 big-rig friendly full-hookup sites, fully furnished one- and two-bedroom cottages, five lakes, two pools, and an 18-hole putting course—alongside special seasonal programming that encourages community participation.
Among the highlights is the Holiday RV Site Decorating Contest, inviting guests to showcase their creativity by transforming their campsites into dazzling displays of lights and ornaments.
Families can also join in the Holly Jolly Scavenger Hunt, a resort-wide adventure encouraging guests to explore the property’s lakes, recreation areas, and amenities while uncovering hidden holiday clues.
Children and families will have multiple opportunities to connect with Santa Claus throughout the month, with photos with Santa offered on select days as part of the resort’s festive lineup.
Craft-oriented events, such as Paw Print Ornaments sessions held at the dog park on Tuesday mornings, allow guests to create keepsakes with their pets while celebrating the holidays in a relaxed, social environment.
Select Wednesdays will feature Holiday Karaoke, offering guests a chance to showcase their favorite seasonal songs under the desert sky.
The weekends promise a special blend of creativity and entertainment, beginning Thursday, December 11, with a community Bonfire & S’mores Night at Site 361—an annual tradition that invites guests to gather and celebrate together.
Friday’s schedule includes Paw Print Ornaments at 8:30 a.m., Wild Tie-Dye at 11 a.m., and an Ugly Sweater Cookie Exchange at 2 p.m., all held near the pickleball grass area.
