Floor plan
The estate's blueprint is published on this site as a downloadable PDF. Almost nothing in this category publishes a plan, and a scout should not have to phone anyone to find out how the buildings sit relative to each other.
The plan is drawn from a 2017 survey. Two spaces on it are labelled Future Bath and Future Gym: the Guest Lodge bathroom and the fitness facility, drawn as planned space. The owner lists both as additions. Both are built and in use now.

Permits
Not legal advice, and we are not going to pretend to file it for you. What we can tell you: filming on private property in this region still requires a city film permit, and the county runs a film commission that coordinates the process.
- Riverside County Film Commission — the regional permitting body.
- Film Oasis (Visit Greater Palm Springs) — the regional location and production resource.
- La Quinta's own process, notice period and insurance requirement
