This place amazing food .. I mean it when I say its fresh and absolutely tasty. Great staff and theyre so friendly.

Our current stay was 4 nights. We love the Imperial Valley in winter time and Rio Bend is our new home-away-from-home. The park management staff was engaging and truly reflected that of a team that is RV Friendly. Recent upgrades in the past few years have brought this property to a different level. Check in with Cynthia was painless, Michelle at the bar for Happy Hour was just the best (and she has a serious golf game!), Tom and Chief Frank at the Pro Shop genuinely engaging. Staff at the Pro Shop Cafe knock out a killer patty Melt. And the Park Manager was just a live wire at all of 5 foot tall! What really made our stay here were all the folks from all over North America that come here year after year. Easy to talk to, a real nice representation of what Snowbirds are all about. Truly a reflection of how this property is run and maintained.Whether just a few nights or for the winter, this a really nice property to enjoy the Imperial Valley!

Healthy grass on course, well groomed. Nice 9 hole

A desert oasis. RV sites are on gravel with full hookup. No picnic table or fire ring. There are real nice huge fire pits by the pool. Pool and hot tub are well maintained and beautiful to swim in. Enjoy watching the Blue Angels fly overhead in the morning.It’s a real active community with lots of activity. Great onsite restaurant (daily specials) and live poolside music.The 9 hole golf course is a great way to touch up your skills.Would stay here again.Wondering why I only gave it 4 stars? Their office staff and check in process was lengthy and painful, so if they can fix that, I’d be happy to dedicate another star.

We haven’t been there for three winters but when we were there the place was beautiful. Their prices are high but all of California is.

Just stayed 4 nights in this peaceful, well-run little jewel in the desert. Large, adult-oriented RV golf resort with friendly inhabitants (lots of Canadians!) and lots of dogs for my fur baby to play with. Great fenced dog park, although a few trees and small pavilion for shade along with a few more benches would be nice. Didn’t use the pool or showers but did take advantage of the laundry facilities which were excellent. Would absolutely (and probably will) stay there again.

As a shuttle went to pick up a customer. They have added a security gate making impossible to get my customer. My customer had to walk to the gate at this point the gate would not open. He had to call the office to gain access out of the parkThis took approx 10 min. That put me way behind in my schedule stops.

Beautiful place wonderful, friendly staff. The veiws are great and the dog park is adorable!

First impressions was fantastic. The staff go out of their way to help you and the area is beautiful. There seems to be something to do every day. There are heaters around the bar area by the pool and is very nice. The internet is better than other parks and you can do a bit of streaming movies as well. They need to post clearly the pool, bar and restaurant hours as it was a little confusing.Could do a Maint on the gravel pass thru sites. Extra gravel needed and one of the threads on the water is unusable. Would be nice to see a concrete slab in the pull thru’s like the other backing.Flies were every where. Not sure where they are coming from but maybe the sites need to be fumigated or something. No it’s not our garbage.They offer cable service with a cable box but it may not work and if you ask them they tell u to call spectrum. Service call takes 3-4 days. The site may not be hooked up. Here is a hint. Ask for site 2 or 3 we already got Spectrum out to fix the problem. Don’t know about the others.Being a retired 18yr cable installer for Shaw Communications in Canada you need to call spectrum and have them hook up the sites so that the boxes work. Plus some of the fittings and cable are rusty and old. Mine was replaced by spectrum but only on a service call.The pool area is really nice but needs umbrellas around the edge by the lounge chairs when it’s hot.Overall this resort is one of the nicest and would stay year round here if we needed too. They are at the top of our list. Good job running this resort.

I have had the pleasure of staying at Rio Bend twice now. I travel frequently to the El Centro area for work and being able to bring along and stay in my travel trailer makes it feel almost like o never left home. Both visits I have arrived after hours and both times the after hours check was not a problem. Spotlessly clean facilities, great pool area and even a poolside bar. Very friendly staff as well. Highly recommend.

One of our favorite go to places people are extremely kind understanding lots of fun mini mini amenities cant recommend highly enough

Me and my husband came by looking for a place we could rent for about a month on our rv we had enough money to rent for 3 months but we were turned away because we were too young the lady told us that its only for people 55 yrs and older but she did tell us that she does rent to younger people that rent a space and go to work everyday my husband is a self employed welder he has his own business we were looking to take a break and just relax I dont think its right to be discriminate just because we looked young even though she never asked our age Im 10 yrs older than my husband Im 54 I wonder if that wouldve made any difference I just might file a complaint

We just stopped here for the night on our way to San Felipe. We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful setting and excellent amenities. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves an outstanding variety of appetizers (they were not serving entrees on the Monday night we were here). I’m not a golfer, but the course here looks beautiful. If we are ever back in the area, we will come here again!

Fine resort. Nice, friendly. Well maintaind

This place is gorgeous, quite and the sites aren’t too tight. Also, the staff is extremely helpful. Look for Bob.

Booked for 3 nights to play golf. No Tee times available during our stay. Went to do laundry have to use their card cost you 5.00 for the card with no refund on the amount you dont use. Have to use a box to get cable tv doesnt cost anything but mine did not work. Not a happy camper best part having the blue Angels fly by

We had a delicious fish dinner!!!

Exelent. Nice and clean place

Nice park, very windy when we where there. Fish fry and bar night where great.

Fantastic park, $ a little high but with PA its reasonable for 3 nts. The con is the inhouse wash card for laundry is the only option, and the office is closed on Sunday.

Such a beautiful place with very kind personal, the restaurant there has amazing food and is open to the public! Highly recommend

A nice friendly place with a golf course and a good variety of activities.

Shady RV sites. Had a bar & restaurant on site. Food was ok and entertainment stops by 10 pm so not a problem.

Great place. Quiet and excellent pricing, views, and people.

I caught a fish!

One of the best RV resort I have seen. It has best facility and great customer service. It is the best place for winter camping in North America.

Nice park lots activitys

Great for a stopover in the desert

We loved this resort. The other campers were friendly & fun & the staff at the resort and the golf course always helpful & polite. The food was good at the golf course & the café. There were lots of fun activities planned, + entertainment, tours, & trips. The golf course is beautiful as well as challenging, and lots of team play events. The swimming pool large & warm, with 2 fitness classes a day. The laundry rooms were clean and with good machines, the showers were nice, and the park pretty and kept clean. The price per month is a steal when you consider all of the included amenities. It is also pet friendly. We hope to return next year.

Great RV Park. ..Lots of amenities. ..reasonable prices. .

Very comfortable park with great amenities. Hot showers in clean restrooms. Sites are nicely spaced with a few trees.

Where do I start? What an awesome property!Many years have passed since our last visit. Our current stay was 4 nights. We love the Imperial Valley in winter time and Rio Bend is our new home-away-from-home. The park management staff was engaging and truly reflected that of a team that is RV Friendly. Recent upgrades in the past few years have brought this property to a different level.

What really made our stay here were all the folks from all over North America that come here year after year. Easy to talk to, a real nice representation of what Snowbirds are all about. Truly a reflection of how this property is run and maintained. It makes my Petite Red Headed Passion Flower and I excited about coming back in March for Spring Break.Memo to the folks who manage this very nice RV Resort: The minute my Petite Red Headed Passion Flower retires, I hope to be kickin your door down to sweep floors and wash dishes at your property as a Workamper!

Have only stayed here overnight in our motorhome on our way through to San Diego, but weve stopped here 3 or 4 times now. Its a beautiful large park with beautiful scenery and nice amenities. Probably 85% full-timers but the spaces they do have for overnighters are very pleasant. Pull throughs and large back-in spaces down by the water with geese and ducks. Close enough to the freeway for easy access but far enough that you cant hear any noise. Out in the country side, West of El Centro - it takes about 15 mins to drive into town for restaurants and stores. Oh, and just as a novelty, as you can see in my picture, Rio Bend is 50 to 60 ft. below sea level!

Great staff. Bar is excellent. Management super. Office staff love them

It is amazing.

I stayed in one of there doublewides. And explained with my work I wouldnt be able to give notice when I would be leaving. They told me it would be fine. When it was time to leave they didnt remember telling me that. And made me pay a whole month rent and keep my thousand dollar deposit. Very dishonest people. Never stay there again. I travel all over U.S. with my work...they were the worst out of all my careers experience for being dishonest people... If you do decide to stay there. Make sure u get what they tell you in writing.....

We had so much fun and was so relaxing! Enjoy the food and happy hour with music by the big fire pits!!

Had a really nice time with my family this last weekend. Rio Bend had a variety of activities that were well supported and promoted by staff and management which made for an enjoyable experience.

Its OK. I took a back in spot and its so tight I took the offer by a neighbor to help guide my 35 foot class A in. Spaces are gravel with a cement pad. No picnic tables anywhere. Services are fine, but there is a row of flowering bushes right where my slide out is so had to move over almost onto the pad to be able to extend. My slide out just barely contacts the bushes now. And then come to find out, the sewer drain is blocked by those bushes. I leave tomorrow after a weeks stay and will retract the slide in order to dump.The laundry is 100 yards in either direction. I chose one, then found out that they require a card, that I can only buy at the main office, near the only other laundry. And you can only buy a $5 card when I just need $3.50 for a load. Gah! Ill do my laundry at the next RV park Im at.There is a bar with limited selection, uncomfortable seats, and friendly tenders. Had 3 meals there. Tacos, Cod, and Turkey. The restaurant serves pretty good food, except the cod was firm but totally tasteless. The turkey dinner on T-day was great though, except for the unnecessary and silly prayer before serving. A glance around at all the tables showed around 1/3rd did not bother. Funny a business would allow that.With a Passport America card, cost was $25/night for 3 nights max, than there is a special for first time visitors - 4 nights for the price of 3 at $50 per night, so $275 for 1st weeks stay. Meant to, but did not make it onto the golf course to play a round...but it looks nice.Doubt Ill stay again.

Nice looking place. Nice golf course. Sites are on the tight side and many too short for the bigger rvs. Friendly and informative staff. Surrounded with ag and desert land prone to too much dust in the high winds. If thats not a concern then looks like a good place to camp.

Nice, peaceful RV resort and golf course. Staff is super friendly and accomodating.

This a fantastic RV and Golf Resort. Spend your winter soaking up the sunshine and not shoveling snow. Lots of activities every week. Pool side bar, live music and great golf.

This is a nice rv park. 55 & over, yet there are a lot of activities here, at least it seems that way the couple of days Ive been here. No activities in the springs & summer season. The setting is nice. Some spaces are small, especially the pull-thru. The thing I like the most is it is outside of town and not right next to the highway, therefore it is repetitively quiet except for the military planes & helicopters that fly over all the time. Being the California desert, its hot for April, but that has nothing to do with the park. The pool & spa are nice to cool off. If you like golf, they have a nice course here.Its not the friendliest place. The grounds are well kept. A bit pricey, but its still California.

Lovely place as usual. Wonderful pleasant staff.

Just a great place to camp, play golf, swim and meet great people.

Very nice relaxing RV park. Loved all the flowering hedges between the spaces and trees throughout. Enjoy Taco Tuesday and music on the patio also.

We checked in at 6 PM on a Wednesday. Ther security guard took photos of our set up and credit card and told us that we would have to pay tomorrow. Then the next day we got aggressive knocking saying we werent allowed at the camp ground. The very rude guard, Rick, told is our camper (2006 colman pop up) wasnt allowed in the camp.This place is crazy expensive as well. We wanted to do laundry and shower after a long trip, to do do laundry you need to buy a 5.00 card, which you dont get your money back. Then load money on it, the smallest amount it 10.00. There were loud planes all morning and dogs barking too. Total rip. So rude. I wouldnt reccomend to anyone.

Friendly people, clean place with public showers

Fantastic place! Friendly staff, amazing people & fun activities

Great Park. Easy to park and get around. Great Music on 3 nights.

Nice place, but they advertise passport America year astound and it is not taken in February. They didnt tell me on the phone. Nice restaurant.

Check in staff not very knowledgeable and not very helpful

The best decision we made during our six month stay in California was to move from an rv park down the road to the Rio Bend Resort! The staff and the manager, Steve, were amazing! They were very friendly and very accommodating. Rio Bend has a very relaxed atmosphere and is full of fun people. There are tons of activities for the guests to participate in as well. We would without a doubt stay here again! They definitely get five stars from us!

Great fish fry Friday. Blue Angels flights are spectacular. Will be back next year.

Just spent 4 months at Rio Bend. What a great experience, lots to do. All kinds of activities for all the snowbirds. The people from all walks of life and all over the Northern Hemisphere are what make the park a real friendly place. Cannot wait for fall to come so we can make our way back down.

Large RV park, fishing lake, nice golf course. Friendly staff, well maintained.

Not a bad little spot tucked away. Nice pool area. Food area wasnt bad, management was friendly as well as the bartenders

Fun place, but needs some work!

Pulled in late in July and they had openings! Very nice place, in the middle of No where, and very hot! But nice pool, showers, and laundry room. And very reasonable price!

Nice resort with lots of activities and an awesome fitness centre.

First year visiting Rio Bend. It is a RV and golf resort. Has a restaurant on site. And another small restaurant at the golf pro shop area with seating outside. Many amenities for RVers.

IT WAS, AND IS, SO VERY LOVELY, THE INVITATION TO DRIVE, RIDE, OR WALK ON IN AND PLAY A ROUND OR TWO OF GOLF, AND YES THE GREENS AND FAIRWAYS, VERY GENEROUS, 9 FLAGGED, FAST PUTTING GREENS, WITH 2 LANES OF SHUFFLE BOARD, 1HEATED SWIMMING POOL,ALSO A GOOD SIZE JACUZZI.AND ALSO, REALLY NICE BAR WITH THE TENDER, BEING OF HIGH CALIBER !!! MICHELLE.

Great park with a lot of amenities. Friendly staff! We enjoyed our stay!

Enjoyable place to stay. Friendly people, pond with geese and ducks, nice view from golf course.

Great place, well be back for sure.

Great RV and golf resort and it has pickleball!

Only been there once, but what we saw was really nice. They have a golf course.

Beautiful RV park! Tons of amenities for everyone! Dog park is nice too!

Great spot in the desert

We LOVE it here! Keith is very accommodating & patient with the other music lovers!

Awesome place. Needs a few tweaks to it...including NOT being told to wear a nametag...did that for years, not doing on retirement. Pool great, hot tub not hot and was broken.most of the time we were there (2 months), but the golf and other rvers were amazing. Kitchen has some GF foods, but not enough. No comment on the management.

Wonderful place to winter...people and facility is top notch...having a great time...coming back

Awesome place to stay at people are super friendly especially Cynthia in the office...

Great RV Resort. Nice layout, wonderful amenities and really nice people.

Its all here !!! Gym heated pool and Jacuzzi, volleyball sand courts. Nice bar with gas fire pits, resurant daily entertainment...ECT........

Best you can find in the Country.

This is such a beautiful park. We had the most wonderful time with our family during December and January that we left and came back again in February. We especially enjoyed the Karaoke nights and the busy fish nights. We learned how to play pickle ball and tried out golfing on the practice field. The park is always clean and the employees there are always around. Sherry and Nancy seem to go our of the way to do everything. They both seemed to never leave and were always caring for someones needs. The only downfall of our stay is that the long time campers there complained openly about every manager and the owner. The park has built a patio by the pool and serve food and play music out there and beverages. This was so much fun for our family and is what we will be coming back for. Hopefully the negative people will change. The manager even went out of her way to pay special attention to my grandmothers 88th birthday when we came back. There were balloons and 2 pitchers of beer served to our group and made us all feel very special. Thank You from the bottom of my heart Rio Bend. We will be back and when fully retired will be staying and making it out home away from home!

Hedges between sites means many are a tight fit.

Played a round of golf and stopped at the 19th for a pitcher of beer, a cheeseburger with seasoned fries.

Very nice RV park. Great pool and golf course. Good value.

Management stinks, theyre old testament Bible thumpers with a superiority complex. If they had a new manager the place could be awesome...

I have been here for 14 years and there has been a lot of improvements but recently they changed internet providers to AT&T. This was a big mistake. The service is lousy, expensive and in some cases not available.All AT&T offers is DSL with a very slow speed of 6Mb max, when it works.You do not have any other options except there Tangonet which is slow and not secured. Since I have been back this year, AT&T is telling me I do not have any choice for internet. I have had internet ever since I have been here, but now they say it is not available at my site.

Nice place, but sites are close together.Front desk help great!

I was told this is a 55 and over community when I inquired about staying here.There are children and adults who are under 55 in all the google pictures.I am coming to visit my Grandkids.This is not a camping spot for families.No children allowed only the ines in the pictures.

Lots of fun at the Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort. Great food and activities.

Nice little golf course but the sites are more dirt than gravel and the wifi is one of the worst we have encountered

Very clean and well groomed grounds to play golf.

Pros: Nice park, friendly, good sized sites, nice pool, Friday Fish Fry, Tues & Thurs Texas Holdem, Sat entertainment night. The 9 hole Executive course is not easy for a 9 hole, has several par 4s and one par 5. Its well maintained, and the pro shop is very friendly and accomodating. Multitudes of BC and Alberta plates :)Cons: Laundry requires a $5 card plus machine fees - no coin machines. This is OK if you are long term, but too expensive if you are only here several days as we were. Military jet noise can be disturbing, but no worse than continuous train noise like many other parks.

If you like to golf this is a great park as there is a 9-hole executive style course adjacent to the park. The RV sites are large and everyone is very friendly!

Great condition a credit to Bob and his crew

Very nice RV Resort enjoy the RV Resort life note they will Dicker on pricing

Very peaceful. No noises, trustworthy place. Everyone is very nice. Clean facilities. Although, I personally dont like the small bushes so close to my travel trailer.Wifi free internet is super slow, and the paid version of $30 per month fast internet isnt worth it. The only difference between the free and paid is that you can connect better with paid. The service of speed isnt any better, you just stay connected longer. Bring your own internet. I highly recommend Verizon mifi or T-Mobile unlimited plan. I used both while staying here. I use something called speedify on my windows computer that combines all my internet. So, I combined T-Mobile unlimited with the free service out here.Hint: If you want to use the free internet... Try using it between 1am till 8am. That is when you will get the best free service. Even the paid service is better at that time.If I knew this internet was going to suck so much, I would have not even paid for it in the first place. Just bring your own.I think the main reason the internet is so bad now, is that so many people are here now using it. A few months ago, you could watch movies on the free version... Now you have to wait 15 minutes for a single web page to load. So, yeah. LoL. Too many people here using the service slowed it down greatly.So, if you plan to be here during prime time months.. winter I think is prime time... Then bring your own internet... Maybe the cheaper months has less people, and the internet maybe better?Other than that, they have the cleanest laundry rooms. They even have designated areas for pet laundry! Now I dont have to worry about people putting pet laundry in human laundry area. The laundry requires credit cards (not sure if it takes cash).. and spits out a special card that the laundry machines use. $2.25(heavy load) wash, about the same for drying. Very good idea for having no change operated machines... Im sure they dont use those so the poor folks dont come here to use them? Very good safety tactic.Nice weight room. Several tread mills, 2 bikes, pull up bar with misc weight stuff on cords, your basic free weights.. Although I did not see anywhere to use a push up bar with weight. Max weight on one of the machines was 150lbs.. Dont expect a huge workout if your really big.You pay for water, sewage, electricity, and something else... T.V. cable is included with rent and I get about 13 usable channels. .I didnt complain as I dont watch T.V. hardly. Propane currently is $130 for 30lb tank? Dont quote me on propane... Its what I can remember. I know its over $100, but not more than $130. It must be because Im in California.In California, wall-mart charges 10 cents a plastic bag now. The land of many taxes.Over all, even though I hate the internet here..I would definitely come back. I feel very safe and secure here. There is no noise. Very friendly people. Other than that one flaw, is one of the best parks Ive been two in two years.Another thing. It does get windy here. Ive seen up to 30mph winds with 40mph gusts. Someone here told me it can get up to 50mph gusts. I highly recommend you get a spot closer to the road, preferably behind one of these mobile tiny little houses. The wind usually comes from the west. If you have slide outs, I recommend you pull them in when the forecasts call for 30mph winds.The stay was awesome. I didnt lose any sleep. Slept like a baby.I didnt remove a star because Im already paying for my own internet anyhow. It was a disappointment, but did not ruin my stay.Visit the Proshop before you leave. Worth the stay and food!

This is a gorgeous, friendly, clean park. Lots of ammenities.

Went to Friday fish fry - was awesum. Good value meal for the cost.

I love this Beautiful place! Amazing people and something for everyone to do!

Recently(2016) the management has changed internet providers. They no longer offer the internet they had before. Now they offer wireless internet throughout the park that is very low on speed. Unfortunately this is a negative to the facility.

Karaoke singing, people very happy, great Cafe, scenery is gorgeous,.... really lovely

Nice place and friendly staff.

Store my toy hauler there, great place, kind people.

GR8 place with lots of amenities and good people!
