We have spent 3 winters at Canyon Vistas over the past 4 years. We love the park, the location and the people. Our nightly rate is based upon a 5 month visit. WiFi is available in the game rooms and ballroom. We purchased cable TV with Internet from Medicom during our 5 month winter visits, so we really don't deal with the WiFi in the park. Many Park Models are being sold here, so eventually the RVs will be squeezed out. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We cancelled our 2 week reservation and left this park after spending just 1 hour there. It was the biggest disappointment of our winter trip(Jan-Mar/2008). We had heard a lot of great things about Canyon Vistas, but when we arrived we were escorted to a site, near the entrance, that was simply as barren as the desert surrounding the park. Not a tree in sight, just gravel, gravel and more gravel - it reminded me of Quartzsite. We were so far from the clubhouse and facilities that it was practically impossible to walk there. We asked the folks beside us and they said they always drove to the pool, showers and clubhouse! The park was supposed to have free wifi service - not true! Where we were located, there was no wifi reception at all. My wife and I both decided we didn't even want to spend one night at Canyon Vistas, so we got our money back, unhooked and left after just one hour. Obviously, we will not be returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent over three months here, November 2007 thru January 2008. We loved the park and the amenities. With very few exceptions, the staff and volunteers there were friendly and helpful. As mentioned below, the business which owns Canyon Vistas is trying to make it a park model community, and it won't be too much longer before RVers are petty much squeezed out. They have several WIFI antennas scattered throughout the park, but seemed to have trouble generating a reliable signal for many of the sites. It got even worse when the park filled up. A good signal could always be had by taking your laptop to the central complex tho. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We enjoyed Gold Canyon RV and Golf Resort very much. We found the staff, at all levels, to be extremely friendly and helpful. The folks in the park models were friendly as well and make you feel welcome. We have not found that to be the case in all parks. The RV sites are quite wide, giving you a lot of room to relax and entertain. The views of the Superstition Mountains are better on some sites than others, but as you walk around the park, the views are gorgeous. There are numerous stores and restaurants within 7 miles of the park as well as entertainment. The Renaissance Festival is held just 4 miles from the park during February and I believe it continues into April. Hiking in the Superstition Mountains is superb. Pick a flat trail or one that climbs. Whatever you choose, the trails are excellent and the views extraordinary. A 23 mile drive up State highway 88 takes you to Tortilla Flat. The road is a gorgeous mountain road with vistas to die for. The town has a great restaurant and is a restoration of the old stage coach stop. The clubhouse at Gold Canyon is huge and beautiful with so many activities you have no excuse to claim boredom. We are going back for 4 months in 07-08. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park lots of activities in the winter. Very clean facilities. Most sites only have paved patios and a fine gravel type base on the rest of the site. They have a nine hole par three golf course that winds around the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a senior oriented resort with mostly winter residents in park models. There are some RV spaces scattered throughout the resort. The spaces are quite wide, with a small cement patio. We were in the only space available that week, as the park fills up during winter months. The clubhouse is very nice, with a large, open area for billiards, and a nice pool area. There is a full schedule of social activities, dances, wine tasting, and entertainment. The staff was very friendly and courteous from the gate guard, to check-in to the person who escorted us to our site. They take only cash or check, no credit cards. The 9 hole Executive Golf Course was nicely maintained. This resort is on the far east edge of the Phoenix area, so there is not much around, but the views of the mountains and fresh air is wonderful. There is one supermarket nearby and a couple of western style steakhouses. Plus, it is just a mile from the Gold Canyon Golf Resort and Spa, so there is great golf nearby and restaurants at the resort. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
