Telling friends you’re off to the Imperial Valley is definitely one way to get their attention. Telling them you’re staying at the Rio Bend RV & Golf Resort will turn the attention into envy. The resort lies in what many consider to be the perfect southern California location. Conveniently located at the gateway to California’s beautiful Imperial Valley, Rio Bend offers the perfect blend of quiet solitude and exhilarating activities. It’s an excellent place to relax and pamper yourself at this 120-acre resort where you will find world-class facilities, warm weather, great golf, fishing… and so much more.
When you need a dose of the big city, take a 1.5-hour drive west to San Diego. Looking for more international flavour? You’re just 15 minutes from the Mexican border. Explore the unique landscapes of the Salton Sea and visit the nearby Wildlife Refuge or take in the Mudpots and Mud Volcanoes to the east.
The resort, one of the newest and most affordable destinations in the U.S, encompasses 120 acres and is surrounded by wetlands, a bird sanctuary and boasts an 80-acre lagoon. Some of the amenities found at Rio Bend include:
Golf: Lakeview Golf Course is nestled in a peaceful setting with lakes, mountain views, and beautiful greens and fairways. Teeing off on the PGA rated golf course is one way to relax and perhaps the best way to start everyday. Serene vistas surround you as the greens and fairways are cradled by mountain and lake views. There are men’s, ladies and mixed leagues to join in through the season.
Fishing: If you enjoy fishing you are going to love fishing their well stocked and groomed fishing holes at Drew Lake, which is eleven acres. The lake is filled with bass and catfish with eight fishing docks for catch and release sport fishing. The record to date is a twenty-three pound catfish.
Pool: The Rio Bend pool is at the center of this luxury resort where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool water, swim laps, or get a workout in one of their Aqua Zumba or Water Aerobics classes.
Park models: If you don’t have an RV or have guests joining you, Rio Bend offers a limited number of fully furnished park models.
The fun doesn’t stop at golf though and you’ll find shuffleboard, billiards, horseshoes, water volleyball, regulation-sized bocce ball courts, pickle ball courts, a games room, as well as aerobics, and a state of the art fitness center.
A myriad of craft classes are available to explore and enhance everyone’s passions. When you’re ready to socialize there are pub nights with live music, pot luck and ice cream socials, Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners, a New Year’s Eve party, St Patrick’s Day, Fun Day, Mexican Fiesta, Mardi Gras - more than enough entertainment to spice up your life.
The number one resort in Southern California also offers Canadians park models for sale or rent. It’s a great time for Canadians to buy in or visit the Imperial Valley!
