[See why it beats a hotel](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/vacation-rentals/) The upgrade ### More room. More amenities. Less "hotel box." A festival hotel room gets you a bed and a bathroom, and you’re still paying premium surge rates for the privilege. Here’s what changes when you post up at Coachella Lakes instead. #### Typical Festival Hotel - One room, one queen bed, one bathroom - No kitchen — every meal is delivery or drive-thru - Thin walls next to other festival-goers - Surge-priced for the weekend, booked months out - Nowhere to park a rig, trailer, or extra vehicles #### Coachella Lakes RV Resort - Full-hookup RV sites or a private furnished rental — real square footage - Resort pools, spas, and open desert sky between you and the next site - Big rig friendly sites, so the whole crew and the tow vehicle fit - Nine & Vine on-site for a drink without another rideshare ![Three lounge chairs and small tables face a clear outdoor swimming pool with palm trees, red umbrellas, and blue sky in the background.](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/pool-lounge-1024x682.jpg) Actual downtime, not just a room to crash in. ![RV sites near Empire Polo Club for Stagecoach 2027](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/rv-site-sunset-1024x768.jpg) Golden hour from your own site — full hook-ups, real space, mountain views. ### Big Rig friendly full hook-up RV sites — bring the whole rig, not just a duffel bag. Space #### Room to actually park Sites built for big rigs and tow vehicles, not squeezed festival camping. Back in, hook up, and settle in without playing Tetris with your neighbors. Hook-ups #### Full hook-up convenience Water, sewer, and power at your site means you run the AC, charge every phone in the group, and skip the generator noise entirely. Location #### Minutes from the gates Less than 7 miles from Empire Polo Club — close enough to make your own way in for both days without relocating for the weekend. ![Row of small beige cabins with porches facing a grassy area under a clear blue sky.](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/rental-exterior-row-1024x682.jpg) ![Open kitchen and living area with wood cabinets, breakfast bar, blue armchair, loft railing above, and visible bedroom through hallway. Natural light from windows and door on the left.](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/rental-interior-1024x682.jpg) ### 15 fully furnished vacation rentals on-site, ready with a bed made and a kitchen stocked. Turnkey #### Show up and unpack No trailer, no tent, no setup. Fifteen fully furnished rentals mean your group can land after a travel day and walk straight into a real bed. Kitchen #### Cook, don't queue Full kitchens mean breakfast before gates and a real meal after the last set — no waiting in a festival food line running on three hours of sleep. Recovery #### Built for the group Multiple bedrooms and private patios give your crew somewhere to actually decompress between Saturday and Sunday. ![Illustration of three stylized palm trees in yellow, orange, and red, standing on a blue patch representing water or an island.](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/tropik1.png) On-site ### Nine & Vine The last set ends and you still want a drink in hand and somewhere to talk it over — not a bar tab downtown and a long rideshare wait. Nine & Vine is on the property, built for exactly that wind-down between festival days. - Cocktails, wine, and local beer without leaving the resort - Small plates when the food trucks are three hours deep in line - A calmer scene to recap the sets before you crash ![nine-vine-bar.jpg](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/nine-vine-bar-1024x768.jpg) ##### **Zero-commute nightcap** Walk from your site or rental — no designated driver logistics for the last round. Open evenings during festival weekend. ![](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/DSC3245_HDR-scaled.jpeg) ![](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/DSC3205_HDR-scaled.jpeg) ![Two women pose and smile on a grassy field by a pond, with mountains and trees in the background under a partly cloudy sky.](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/CE5722D3-E753-4E28-B256-D95E0E1DB54B.jpeg) ![People relax and swim in an outdoor pool surrounded by lounge chairs, umbrellas, palm trees, and a building under a partly cloudy sky.](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/IMG_4041-scaled.jpeg) ![Seven adults sit together at a bar counter holding drinks, smiling at the camera in a modern, well-lit room with hanging lights and wall decor.](https://coachellalakesrvresort.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/IMG_1551-scaled.jpeg) Good to know ### Planning your Headtrip stay #### How far is Coachella Lakes from Empire Polo Club? Less than 7 miles — close enough for an easy rideshare or drive in each day, without needing to camp directly on festival grounds. #### Is there RV camping at the festival itself? Festival grounds camping is tent-only. If you’re bringing a rig or simply want a real bed, bathroom, and kitchen to return to, that’s exactly what Coachella Lakes is built for. #### Do you provide transportation to the festival? Transportation to and from the festival is on your own — plan for rideshare, a designated driver, or your own vehicle for the short trip in. #### What's the deposit and cancellation policy? A 50% deposit of the full reservation total is due at booking. Cancellations must be made at least 30 days prior to arrival, or the deposit is forfeited. The remaining balance is charged automatically 29 days before arrival. ### Skip the tent. Skip the hotel box. Big rig friendly RV sites and 15 fully furnished vacation rentals, minutes from the Polo Club — with Nine & Vine waiting when the music stops.
