Indian Waters RV Resort-Indio, CA

Today we landed at Indian Waters RV Resort in Indio, California. We had a "stay five nights free" coupon. We did have to take the 90 minute sales tour. Peg and I have talked to many people who are members of Western Horizons, which this park is one of. They say they bought in and their camping is free (actually they now charge $3 for electricity per night). There are also associate memberships you can buy for $8-10 per day camping. We have been spending $25-35 per night. That adds up quickly.

We were assigned site #201 which was in the gravel section of the park. They have grass sites as well, but they are used for members only. You would think if they wanted to sell you a membership, they would put you on one of the best sites available! Not a good marketing plan.

Anyway, the site was fine and we went to the sales presentation. To make a long story short, we actually DID buy into the Western Horizons membership since in the long run, it will save us a great deal of money in camping fees. We also bought into other memberships. AOR and ROD+ combined with Western Horizons gives us over 200 parks we can use from the east to the west coast. They also have a resort called Kino Bay in Mexico we can stay at that is suppose to be very nice. So, we hope we made the right decision since it was not cheap, but we think we will recoup our investment in a little over a year!

Would be interested to hear how you now feel about WHR, as they have sold Indian Waters. This is our home park and so far we have not heard from WHR regarding how our membership is affected.
