The town has the Hualapai Lodge, a motel and a small grocery market with fuel. It is an access point to Hualapai Hilltop, 67 miles (108 km) to the northeast, which is the trailhead from which hikers descend an 8-mile (13 km) trail, with a drop of 2,004 feet (611 m), to the town of Supai, from which Havasu Falls and other waterfalls can be visited.

Peach Springs is located on the route of the former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (now the BNSF Railway) and on historic US Route 66. Route 66 brought large numbers of cross-country travellers through the town until Interstate 40 was opened 25 miles (40 km) to the south in 1978. I-40 diverges from Route 66 at Seligman 37 miles (60 km) to the east, and the two roads do not meet again until Kingman 50 miles (80 km) to the west. As no connecting roads join the two highways at Peach Springs, the town went from being on the beaten path to being more than thirty miles from the new main road overnight. I-40 shortened the highway distance from Kingman to Seligman by 14 miles (23 km) at the expense of turning villages like Truxton, Valentine and Hackberry into overnight ghost towns. Peach Springs survived as the administrative base of the Hualapai tribe but suffered irreparable economic damage.

The John Osterman Shell Station, built by a Swedish immigrant in 1929, closed soon after the turn of the millennium. In 2007, the Hualapai Tribe received a $28,000 federal matching grant to rehabilitate the building, which has yet to re-open but which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.

It is within the Peach Springs Unified School District. At one time it had its own high school, Music Mountain Junior/Senior High School.

Valentine Elementary School District has its single K-8 school with a Peach Springs postal address, but the school is physically in Truxton. No part of the Peach Springs CDP is in that district.
