Seibt Desert Resort, Pahrump

We traveled a whopping 9 miles across town to the Seibt Desert Resort. They have recently become affiliated with KOA and, believe me, it is not like a KOA you have stayed at before! It was a great place with desert landscaping, large area rock, waterfalls and trees. The RV sites themselves were all asphalt and this, in itself, was a treat after being on crushed gravel or dirt. I will say that the way they laid out the sites for the park was quite tight if the park was full. Fortunately, it was not the peak season there so there was a lot of room. The views of the mountains from our site were great though.

The pool area, or should I say the multiple pool area, was beautiful. It was also landscaped to perfection. There were two levels of pools and a waterfall to bring them together. Plenty of patio area and nice tables was the perfect place for a gathering for lunch. And gather we did! We invited two couples over from Las Vegas for lunch. Gary and Patsy we have know for almost two years and they happened to be in Las Vegas near their friends Jim and Shirley, who became our friends, as well, at a recent Monaco Rally. We had a great time at lunch and conversing next to the pool.

After lunch we walked the grounds of this resort looking at the water features in the park and the fitness center with its sauna, hot tub and exercise equipment. Nicely done! A day earlier as Peg and I were walking, we saw a small park-like area and we figured out it was for your pets. It had two wash sinks and tables, a sitting area and one rather unique feature. For the owners of a male dog, it had a fire hydrant complete with a flush rinse system to clean the hydrant and concrete drain off after the dog wizzed. Now that's one for the books!!

It was nice to see Gary and Patsy and Jim and Shirley again and we had a good time looking around this nice RV resort.

We met our neighbors in the park, John and Carol, and they were creating their own RV park in Alaska. It should be operational this summer and they said if we do a story on the park with American RVer, they would trade us out a site there. I hope we can take them up on that!

Another couple we met was Bill and Lillie. They were in a 30' Newmar with a lift to get Lillie into and out of the motorhome. Lillie has Parkinson's disease and can no longer walk with out the help of a walker. It was very interesting to see how they adapted to the RV lifestyle. We actually shot a segment of the American RVer show with them that will be online as the May 2008 show. Check it out if you get a chance....
