Sunbeam Lake RV Resort

Well run, quiet friendly park. Great showers and laundry room. This place was nice enough that we discussed an expended stay, but we are road cyclists and El Centro has some of the worst roads that we've come across. Which is a shame, since it is a beautiful area and a great park.

We were headed west in February 2020 and looking for an easy overnight stop. Sunbeam Resort is close to I-8 and was about where we wanted to stop for the night. Nicely laid out, clean, efficient office staff. Didn't make a note about site number or internet speed.

Lovely park, stayed on night passing through on the way south. too bad looks like a great "ex pat" winter haven. Perhaps when we're tired of the extra drive down to Mx we'll have to try this.

The park was easy to find. It is located north of I 8 about 6 miles west of El Centro. There is pavement all the way including interior roads. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. We arrived at the closed gate and we met and escorted to our site. A gate card is required for access. The rules are fairly basic.

Our site, 233, was a gravel base pull through that was easily long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30/50 amp, water, sewer and cable) were to the left side. Distancing is fair for a rural park. . Each site has a Concrete patio and a table. Some had a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was clean, neat and tidy. The only fail was because of mosquitoes. Standing water just outside of the fenced park would be the source.

There is NO park included wifi but our Hot Spot served us well. We did not use the washrooms or showers, laundromat or the pool but we checked and found them clean.

The resort amenities are many but we did not join as we we were just short termers. The seasonal residents were friendly and treated us well.

There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find a small grocery and El Centro has all services. We found this park to be an okay overnighter. We paid $41.00 per night and we feel we received very good value. We will be back if in the area again.

Stayed here in May after most of the sun birds had left, so it was very quiet. We had a nice level site. Close to facilities and a short walk to the really nice pool. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
