Golden Village Palms RV Resort - Hemet, California

My husband and I stayed at GV for 2 weeks in February. It was out 1st stay at this resort and we will definitely be coming back. The park is very well maintained, spots are spacious and there is LOTS to do. We loved the 10 pickleball courts and the free lessons the resort offers to it's guests. The gym is lovely but even better are the variety of exercise classes that Shannon, their exercise instructor teaches. She is an incredible instructor and gets great crowds for all of her classes. I did not want to miss any of them. We also enjoyed the entertainment, concerts, game nights, pot lucks etc. The pool area is lovely, people love playing water volleyball as well as take water aerobics. The location is great despite it being in Hemet. Do not let that influence you. We struggled with that a bit, but once we arrived we knew we made the right choice. Everyone in the park was very friendly and helpful. The only complain I have is regarding the staff at the front desk. They seemed not very knowledgeable and we had to follow up a few times on a few things. I think they were very new employees still learning. We are looking forward to coming back next winter.

The first part of my stay was great. However, staffing at front desk has changed many times and now they are very difficult to work with. They seem to only give customer service to new and temporary guests and parties. This place has great amenities, but there have been regular power, water and cable outings. This is the highest priced location in area but their service no longer reflects the higher price. It's unfortunate.

This is an absolutely beautiful park with lots of activities. There is so much to do that you can be entertained the whole stay within the park. It has some of the nicest pickleball courts I have ever played in. Everything is very clean and the staff are very accommodating. The have live entertainment if you go on the right weekend and events going on that you can join in on. Definitely a nice stay.

I rented a cabin for the first time after Peyton recommended it (you can also own one within the campground). I’ve stayed at the Hampton Inn next door and found this to be a quieter and more luxurious experience. The cabin had everything I would normally expect in a hotel room and more. Towels, soap, shampoo, etc. but also had a full size kitchen with dishes and a refrigerator and freezer. I look forward to coming back with my family next time!

We rented a Park Model (cabin) for 2 months. This is our 6th year at GVP.
The location of our cabin within the Park was excellent, as are the amenities and activities within the Park.
The Park Model we rented needs some paint outside and inside. There were several items missing from the kitchen. We did provide a deficiency list and all items were provided the very next day (all new). The sink was leaking under the tap and under the sink (Nothing major). There was more than ample storage.
We will continue to visit GVP because of the great people (other guests) we have met and many of the great staff.
There are internal politics (due to inconsistency in corporate policys). This is unfortunate as this should be/ could be the best resort in California. There seems to be a lot of distraction (from simply enjoying this facility) due to these corporate policy inconsistencies.
We will return and we look forward to a great experience and hope that corporate policies are more clearly defined, tightened up and followed.
The location of this facility is exceptional in accessing the coastal communities, Palm Springs, Temecula and many other adventures in the region. Golf courses are great,
Concerts, poker games, pickleball and other activities within the Park are exceptional.

As well, the businesses in Hemet are very welcoming and respectful.

If GVP policies are addressed and compliance is assured, this would be a 10 out of 10 facility.
Best regards,
Dave & Roslynn McRae

My reservation was originally from November until February but I extended until mid-April due to the truly great experience I had.

The entire staff, from front office to landscapers, is extremely friendly and focused in providing campers with a great experience.

Facilities are second to none with beautiful pools, hot tubs, ten pristine pickleball courts, beach volleyball, and many other well-maintained amenities amongst beautiful landscaping. There are many daily activities for everyone, of which several are organized by volunteers.

Best of all is the temporary and permanent residents at the site. They become friends who you look forward to meeting the following season.

I already booked my return for this fall when I look forward to another great experience and to meet the many friends that I made at Golden Village Palms.

I’m very disappointed in my experience here. I booked Golden Village due to them being the largest RV resort in California, and their amazing “staged” photos on their website. Unfortunately it’s a major let down. For starters— their photos show cocktails and beer available at a perceived pool bar, however it does not exist. The website also boasts multiple food establishments. “The grill” has a decent online menu; however the actual restaurant has a 6-7 item limited menu and is just in their banquet room. The final straw— both the website and the packet they give you at check in says “The grill” is open until 4pm each day, but they actually close at 3pm. There is no onsite camp store or anywhere to buy anything. Their website is very deceptive. They make it seem like this is a “resort” with food and various full service amenities. In reality, it’s a large RV park with a decent pool and a guy that sells hamburgers. We will be going back to Launch Pointe in Lake Elsinore.

Our RV Club recently held a rally at GVP RV Resort. The staff and management were exceptional in every way! They bent over backwards to make our stay very enjoyable. The facilities were over the top. The chef and his kitchen staff prepared delicious meals! No one went away hungry!
