But gorgeous landscaping is just one reason Outdoor Resort Indio is billed as “The Ultimate Motor Coach Resort.” Available to Class A motor coaches, this five-star resort has 419 lots resting on 45 acres. Nearly all the lots have fully developed, modern outdoor kitchens with protective pergolas and cozy gazebos. Most oversized lots back onto an 18-hole private executive golf course that is open to unlimited play by resort residents at no added cost.
A spectacular clubhouse is the hub of resort activity. During the season, a full calendar of dinners, dances, stage entertainment, movies, bingo and themed parties abound.

The private owners’ lounge offers comfortable seating, a library, billiard room and a state-of-the-art big screen TV, which was just installed in February.
There are clubs for many interests, including off-road Jeep adventures, biking and motorcycling. There are courts for tennis and pickleball and a four-lane pitch for bocce ball. A workout in the health and exercise facility can be followed by a sauna or steam bath.
