Aguanga is in the Southern California high desert, south and east of Los Angeles. You can look at some maps that help show where we are. The GPS setting of the Resort is N33.446, W116.87.

The town of Aguanga is a small community with a grocery store and post office at the intersection of California Highway 79 South and California Highway 371. Temecula is the nearest large town, 17 miles to the west.  In our little corner of California, you will find the fastest growing commercial center in the area. It straddles Interstate-15 and is 43 miles south of Riverside and 56 miles north of San Diego. Temecula  has a full range of restaurants and shopping facilities and a flourishing Wine Country.

By traveling 3 miles west of Jojoba Hills Resort on Highway 79 South then turn north on Sage Road (County Road R-3) and you will eventually reach Hemet. This road is not recommended for large RVs.  Noteworthy for its pies, Julian lies Southeast on Highway 79.  From Julian, travel on to Borrego Springs and points South. Going north on Highway 371, you reach the town of Anza. Beyond Anza, an intersection with Highway 74 provides the choice of heading to Palm Desert or the mountain resort town of Idyllwild.

If you are driving a big RV along the Interstate-15 corridor, the best route to follow is Interstate-15 to the Highway 79 South exit at Temecula.  Then, drive east 17 miles on Highway 79 South to the Resort. The first several miles of Highway 79 take you on a four lane road through an extensive commercial zone.  At the end of the commercial zone the road narrows to two-lanes with moderate curves and grades all the way to the Resort.

Driving from El Centro or Brawley, the easiest route is to get onto County Road S2. This road turns off Interstate 8 at Ocotillo, CA and travels northwest to intersect Highway 79 a couple of miles south of Warner Springs. This route through Julian is scenic with steep grades and tight curves.

From the Palm Springs area take Highway 74 from Palm Desert. The road is in excellent condition. It consists of eleven miles of narrow, winding road with steep grades and spectacular views. Turn off onto Highway 371 toward Aguanga.  Turn right onto Highway 79 when you reach it.  The Resort is about a mile from the intersection on the right side of Highway 79.

NOTE: California DOT restricts all roads leading to Jojoba Hills to motorhomes of 40 ft or less in length. Trailers are not restricted.

During the 1980s the Escapees RV Club sponsored regional Chapters of RVers who wanted to band together and co-operatively create an RV park. The members pooled their money to purchase land or existing parks. Using volunteer labor, they built first class RV resorts.

Jojoba Hills SKP Resort is a mutual benefit, not-for-profit corporation. Members of the Resort pay a one-time fee for a "life-time" membership. This membership includes choice of a site in the Resort.   When a member decides relinquish membership in the Resort, that member is entitled to receipt of the initial investment plus any assessments incurred during membership. The surrendered membership is then available for use by the next incoming member.

You may visit the resort as a non-member of Escapees as a guest of a member of Jojoba Hills Resort. You also might choose to become an Escapee. Click here to learn about Escapees. You may join on line if you wish. All Escapee members are welcome to visit Jojoba Hills for a day or rent a space and stay for up to twenty eight days. We make available boondocking as well as full hook up sites.

The Resort is nestled in the hills of the high desert country.  The landscaping includes ponds, streams and native desert plants. The resort consists of 283 view sites approximately 50 feet by 70 feet in size. Every site includes a concrete pad and shed. Many members have landscaped their sites to complement the landscaping of the Resort's common areas.

There are many great amenities in the Resort to keep you occupied.  You may enjoy a hearty game of pickleball, a game of pool, a swim in our Olympic size pool. There are also natural and man-made wonders in the area within a one or two hour drive.  Close by are the entertainment areas of San Diego, Los Angeles, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and Palm Springs. Mexico is an easy 2 hour drive.

Work on the Resort began in November, 1989 on what had been the Lazy K Ranch. The ranch included a developed commercial trailer park that served as the base camp for the many volunteers who helped build the Resort.

During construction of the Resort almost one million cubic yards of earth were moved.  Five miles of roadway were created. Thirty-five miles of utility lines were installed. A water system consisting of three potable wells and several miles of piping was developed.  Two miles of storm drains below and above ground were installed.

As a group, the volunteer men and women contributed nearly 292,000 work hours in the construction of the Resort. By 1994, the first of the volunteers moved  their RVs into the finished part of the Resort ahead of the formal opening on June 26, 1996.
