Winter? What winter? Old Man Winter never seems to make it to Desert Hot Springs, tucked in the foothills of California’s San Bernardino Mountains. Or maybe he’s too distracted to get down to serious work here: Who wouldn’t be, with 80 nearby golf courses, two major casinos, Joshua Tree National Monument, and Palm Springs’ dining and shopping (including the famed El Paseo Drive) just down the road?

Desert Pools RV Resort also claims the perfect antidote for winter: three special hot tubs fed by natural mineral hot springs. Luxuriant landscaping (dotted by palm trees) and elegant touches earn this resort a five-star rating. And its top-of-the-line amenities (from a large, beautiful swimming pool to well-maintained tennis courts) keep visitors outside having fun, no matter what the calendar says about winter.
