Pickleball Courts in Desert Hot Springs, CA

Desert Hot Springs' pickleball scene is almost entirely RV-resort amenity space, not public courts — a reflection of the city's identity as a snowbird and spa-resort destination rather than a rec-department town. Sky Valley RV Resort has the most visible setup, with 'brand new' courts open to residents and guests of all skill levels and loaner paddles available on-site. Catalina Spa & RV Resort, The Sands RV & Golf Resort and Two Springs RV Resort all list pickleball among on-site amenities, but access is restricted to owners, renters or resort guests in every case — nobody here is open to walk-up public play. Mission Lakes Country Club, a semi-private golf club, treats its courts the same way: an HOA and membership perk rather than a bookable public court. The nearby Palm Springs/Joshua Tree KOA also lists pickleball for campground guests. If you're not staying at one of these properties, there's nowhere to play in Desert Hot Springs itself.
