DO NOT try to stay here if you have a chocolate lab dog! Neither their ads nor their own hand-out materials tell you that they do not allow dogs of this size. In fact, we learned this only AFTER we were registered and after our credit card was swiped. If this is typical of their approach on other issues, be VERY careful before going to this park. The lady at the front desk was very kind, but she obviously was embarrassed by the fact that this is a "hidden" rule. Exercise caution if you are considering this park. We did not stay! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is not an RV Park in our opinion, it is a mobile home park that has not been sold out so they are using the un-sold lots for RV's. The lots are all red-clay dirt with a course sand on top that is tracked in every time you get in your car or RV. There is only one central restroom and shower facility for the whole park that can be a long way (two plus city blocks) from your RV space. And then, when you get there, the men's room had only one working toilet out of two and showers were open like in high school with no privacy. There were no picnic tables at the sites, no trees and basically no redeeming features. They do have a little four-hole executive style golf course that would have been a nice feature if they had provided more basic amenities, like toilets and showers. The office staff was curt bordering on rude. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a clean park aimed towards long-term and snowbird campers. For those people, the sites are large and level. For over nighters, we were placed in a cramped section at the end of the park. The office staff was not too friendly and name badges were required to walk around the park. We were forced to initial a card acknowledging we were aware of nearby Luke Airforce Base fly overs. I would recommend this park for long term stays (electrical is extra for this), a week or more. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Cotton Lane RV Park has many facilities we normally do not use, such as swimming pool, shuffle board, etc. The park has outside entertainment on occasion and is well kept. There is a considerable amount of construction going on in the surrounding area, making blowing dust a problem. We estimate this may continue for another year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is built on the grounds of an old race track. Some of the RV park building facilities were converted into their current use from the old track and while adequate, are not the most appealing. Many of the old horse stables are still standing, fenced off from the RV park but still in sight. The streets are well paved and wide, and the back in cites are very big and wide, giving you a sense of spaciousness from your neighbor. There are no paved pads and the gravel area was rather muddy this year due to the unusual amount of rain experienced in much of the southwest. This probably is not a problem most of the time. The office staff was business like, and luckily we had a friend who is a long term guest in the park to help us get the spot we wanted and be flexible with a departure date. We don't play golf but even we could tell that is not a full course, maybe three short holes or so. The golf area looked well maintained despite alot of standing water, again due to the unusual amoount of rain. Much of the parks business is snow birds, but this park offers alot less planned activiities and amenities than we found in several other parks in Arizona. The military aircraft can be noisy at times, but it is intermittent during the day and we never experienced any issue with this at night. There is no road noise to deal with and there is easy from the interstate. If you are visiting the Phoenix area for a short time, this a good place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spaces way too tight for a large 5th wheel, next to impossible to get into spots that are not on the end! Way overpriced to not have cable TV and the WIFI was very iffy. I will give them points for security, it was almost overdone. Too many junky permanent residents. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground should be rated 55+, and dogs only there is nothing to do for kids over there, and dogs are treated better than kids.(at least they have a dog run) Very disappointing, We camped here in a Motorhome.

I really wanted to give this place a higher mark but I just couldn't. It could easily be a 9+. It is a little bit of an older park and the sites that I saw were definitely set up for Travel Trailers and not motor homes. The utilities (especially sewer) were at the very end of the sites, meaning there is no way to keep a toad hooked up while parked. The pool and other common areas were very nicely maintained but did show a little sign of age. We arrived on Labor Day weekend in the middle of the day and no one was around. The office was closed and the poor guy who was supposed to be the security guard was off buying parts to fix a plumbing leak. (If you read some of the other reviews this seems to be a common theme.) Also, this is the 21st century. No cable? It's not like this is a campground in the middle of the forest. A place that bills itself as a "resort" needs to have these types of things. I don't want to give the wrong impression though. We did like this place and since it's on the west side of Phoenix it makes it pretty convenient on trips to or from Los Angeles. With just a few tweaks this could be a very, very nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice level sites, fruit trees on premises. Lots of seasonals but very quiet campground. The pool & hot tub were nice. If we were in the area again, we would stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here on a travel assignment for June-August, 2008. No cable TV. Must provide your own sattelite. Gated resort with security. Facilities are kept very clean. Nice pool, spa and exercise room. No change machine in laundry room. Citrus trees throughout the resort. Trees do not provide shade to the campsites. Dog run is small gravel pen, which few guests used. Would definately stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was easy to find and we had an easy pull thru. It was very clean and well maintained. They had a very large laundry facility. The premium spots just get you closer to the pool and showers. They don’t offer anything better by way of space or aesthetics. I really expected something spectacular based on the packet of rules we got when we checked it—I’ve never gotten so much literature from an RV park before! LOTS of rules, and yet we could here the good ole boys with their junk all over their site drinking and yapping away well past “quiet time”. A number of permanents as well, but those didn’t seem to take away from the park. I think our biggest disappointment was the lack of trees and grass. Oh I know it’s in the desert, but with 267 golf courses in Phoenix, you’d think you could plant something at an RV resort to have it look less like a parking lot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A good park if you like lots of amenities like a pool, game room, etc. Not so good if you like space, quiet, and the great outdoors. Close to town and Spring Training for MLB. We used this as a place to catch up, clean up and get a good deal of shopping done. We would normally not stay in this type of RV Park because if the very small spaces. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a good over night stop, not sure we'd want to stay for any length of time. Sites are short and a little hard getting in and out, kind of like packed in like sardines. No cable available and WiFi is Tengo, which is not a problem; at least it worked. We had a standard site, premium and deluxe only gets you closer to the clubhouse and pool. We didn't use showers or laundry so can't comment on that. We probably would stay again if in the area, get the benefits of Phoenix without the noise and traffic. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Warning. I haven't stayed here, but found out from someone in the office that the online reservations are handled by a third party contractor. The site availability online has no relationship to actual availability. I suggest making reservations here by telephone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Quiet, well off I-10, easy on and off the Interstate, nice office staff, WiFi $5 day, $15 per week. We liked being away from town but still close to stores. I don't that I would spend the winter here, too many people. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this park... especially the citrus trees (you're encouraged to pick and eat all you can of the lemons, oranges, grapefruit and tangerines). Spent the winter from Dec 2006 through April 2007 and really enjoyed it. Quiet park with nice people. Emily, Rita, and Karen (in the front office) were really nice and very fun. Loved the fact that the park was on the outskirts of Phoenix: nice and quiet, but a short drive to the activities/culture of downtown. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a gorgeous park with all expected amenities, plenty of restrooms, private showers, pool, laundry, camp store, on-site propane service, gated access, a dog run, etc., etc. We particularly enjoyed the large sites with citrus trees. The only negative we could find was the wifi service is through Tengointernet and the service is less than wonderful, the pipe is too small and when there is a lot of traffic it is very slow. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Contrary to previous reports, we did not experience any problems with the water supply. We will stay here again when visiting the greater Phoenix area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent the winter here, and the above price reflects a monthly rate. Good park, easy pull through sites. The water problem mentioned in previous posts no longer exists, but the water does still have an odd flavor. The wifi was very spotty, especially for the $$. Staff was nice once we were there awhile and the gate and security guard made it feel very safe. The bathrooms are clean but older. The pool and hot tub are nice, and there are some planned activities. The pavilion is large and they have a good book/game exchange. Close to any major store you could want. The highway noise isn't very pronounced, but there are F-16s from Luke AFB going overhead most days. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a decent park and not a bad place to stay if you are visiting the Phoenix area. It is quiet and well-maintained with good security. We don't normally go in for the resort type parks, but this is a good place for an overnight or short-term stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Arrived early evening after long day. Pool was closed for an unknown reason. WIFI was not in range, but could hit the clubhouse with an underhand lob. Our rig was slightly out in the road, allowing for some maneuvering. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Previous reviews mention a water problem in this park; however, we stayed here for 3 weeks and drank the water with no ill effects. The park was definitely not very crowded, even during the weekend of the Nascar race at nearby Phoenix International Raceway, they said they were full but did not appear to be. There are some "permanent" homes here, some of which are unsightly. Also the park advertised WIFI but my laptop which has a wireless card in it never seemed to find it, so I used my own. When I asked about this at the office, the girl there just shrugged. There are two people in the office, one of them named Emily who is very helpful. The other one, whose name I do not know and wouldn't post if I did, basically just gives you yes or no answers and doesn't try to offer any information. So if you have questions about the area, try and talk to Emily! The roads do have some large speed bumps, and while many sites are pull-throughs, there are close corners where other guests have parked their tow vehicles in front of or behind their site. The pool was closed for a couple of days for repair, other than that it was nice and clean. There are restrooms in the center of the park, next to the trash dumpsters. Avoid the spots on either side, as you'll be able to hear the restroom doors slam shut all night long, and the dumpsters do get filled to overflowing. All in all, this was a nice park for an extended stay, and we will return here when we're back in the area next year. Also this is the only park in Goodyear without age restrictions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used this as an overnight stop between the Grand Canyon and San Diego. The sites are level and the roads are paved. The office closed at 5pm, so we were checked in by the guard? For the size of the RV park it was relatively empty. $5 deposit for the restroom/pool key, which should be refunded when we leave. Cable TV at site advertised, but there was no connection. There were plenty of local channels, though. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A good, clean park, with a lot of attention paid to appearances. Full-timers and seasonals have a strict set of rules to follow regarding the looks of their site. There are a lot of trees planted, and some day there will be a lot of shade. There is not a lot for kids to do, and parents are expected to make sure that their kids follow the rules. There is some noise from I-10 as well as U.S. Air Force aircraft from a nearby base. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is clean and well maintained. The pool and hot tub are nice and very clean. There is a good exercise room and a good book exchange in the park. The sites are not very big and they are close together. We have read about the water isues, but it was no big deal. The park gives you drinking water everyday. All in all, we enjoyed the stay (good not great). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park has the ability to be one of the best, and it usually gets high ratings. In reading different reviews on various websites about this park, I see a common theme - most raters only spent a night at the park. Those seeking a stay of several weeks or months should look ELSEWHERE. This Park has a drinking water problem. In reading the different reviews, and speaking with fellow RVers, it seems that park employees have given different descriptions of the problem, ranging from "the water doesn't taste too good" to "it's too salty", and other similar explanations. This might be okay for a one night stay, but what about the long term renters? One man I spoke with who paid three months in advance to get a discounted rate was quite unhappy, but said he was "powerless to do anything about it because management won't talk to me." While I cannot speak first hand to his situation, I can attest to the fact that onsite management was definitely not approachable. We initially planned to stay several months, however, decided to pull out after one month. We would have left sooner except for the fact that we found ourselves in a difficult situation. When we made our reservation and gave the credit card number for a nonrefundable security deposit, we were told nothing about any water problem. Upon arrival, and ONLY after we paid a month's rent and were assigned a space, were we informed, "oh by the way, we have a situation with the drinking water, but we're going to be hooked up to city water by the end of the month." "We give out a gallon jug of water per person, per day." Buried in our extensive packet of information was an undated notice that local authorities had determined the water to be unfit for consumption because of "high nitrate" levels. Of course at that juncture they had our deposit and month's rent that was "not refundable for any reason". Well, the end of the month came and went, and everyone there is still on bottled water. So we decided to move on. Since most of the reviews that I have read concerning this park are not dated, it is impossible to tell how long this water problem has been going on. Other issues are often overlooked by one-nighters, such as the pet situation in this park. While the park has rules upon rules regarding pets and other prohibitions, there seems to be either no enforcement of them, or selective enforcement. Take pets for instance. Dogs are not supposed to be left unattended outside their units. However, one long-term tenant left his dog tied up outside every day; on one occasion, I had to assist the dog because it had wrapped it's leash around the coach and was choking. Another long-term tenant tied his two dogs outside most every day and virtually every night. The dogs barked viciously and incessantly at other dogs, pedestrians or cars that went by their unit. On one other occasion, I saw animal control authorities come and pick up two sweet and harmless labs that had somehow gotten loose. Why Destiny did not enforce those same rules on the vicious dogs was beyond me, as all park employees seemed aware of the situation. They passed the two offending RVs mutiple times everyday, and that INCLUDED the OPERATIONS MANAGER! We just steered clear of the two streets that adjoined the unit. I will not recommend Destiny RV Resort based on our experience, and after speaking with others who shared similar concerns. This park charges a premium rate, and should not be rated as high as it has been because of its problems. I'm not even referring to their way of doing business - you be the judge as to whether the park engages in deceptive or selective business practices or not. The important question is what are the long-term affects of bathing and doing dishes in water that isn't fit for consumption? I, for one, don't know, but didn't intend to find out. For the information of all concerned, there is another RV park just around the corner that is cheaper and seems almost as nice. My advice to prospective renters - be wary of this park! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice staff, easy in and out access. No cable TV. Water was high in salt content when I was there, the office gave out bottled water to all the guests. Pool and Hot Tub were very clean. The jets from Luke AFB do make for a 9am wakeup call, though this is no fault of the park. This is a nice park, and I'll stay again. I just don't think it is a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Noted 12/6/2004 comment on water at RV Park. The same situation existed in March 2004. The tap water is not drinkable and you get various reasons why. My question is if it is not good enough to drink is it good enough to bathe with or wash clothes. We had stayed at Destiny for 3 years to attend Spring Training but not this year. There is a lot of secrecy about what is wrong with the water and there are several versions. If they have not fixed the problem in 8 months then I am not sure I want to stay there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is in follow up to the review written above. The park's "water problem" has been ongoing for three years. Our campsite had an electrical problem that caused lights to flciker, and every time our heat pump kicked on it blew a circuit breaker. Although this electrical problem was reported to mgt, it was not fixed during our 30-day stay. The RVer next door repeatedly reported that his sewer drain was stopped up, and regrettably I witnessed the backup occur. Mgt denied that there was problem with the drain and claimed that they all had been cleaned out recently - they wouldn't even check it out! Unfortunately his sewer again backed up with "black water debris" and made a mess all over the area between our two coaches. He went to the office twice to report it and to ask for immediate assistance; mgt was unsympathetic to his/our situation and took no action. Two days later they still had not fixed it. The pet area is so bad that pets don't even want to use it. Our last two weeks were even worse than our first two. To coin a phrase from another RV'er, "this place is starting to resemble an "EPA Hazardous Waste Site". We will never go back, are now glad to be gone from there, and will NOT recommend it to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I found this to be a very well maintained campground and we would definately go back. We have found that the staff were always very helpful and courteous. We had to have some work done on our rig so we essentially would have been homeless and the manager was nice enough to allow me and my husband to rent the apartment over the office. Thank you! As for the water situation, we were allowed to take as much bottled water as necessary and found it to be no big deal. We used the campground water to wash our clothes and dishes, we used antibacterial soap so I wasn't worried that we would become sick. We have to go back to Phoenix this summer and will be happy to go back home to Destiny. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV Resort is truly better than most. No low life here. Premises are very clean and well-kept. We were only here for one night in a pull-thru site and were treated very nice. Park is extremely quiet at night, no trains or other distasteful noise. Access to the park is easy to get in and out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I am impressed with the quality of this park. We have stayed here a few times over the years, and it has never looked better. A great value, quiet, great staff. Facilities were immaculate every time we have been here. In short, a great place to stay! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Another great Destiny RV Resorts park. They are also in Blythe, Dallas, Las Vegas. We have stayed at all of them. The Phoenix park is about 20 minutes away from downtown Phoenix, so it is really quiet but close to the big city. Staff was excellent through and through, and we thought the park was a great value. Very clean, very professional. Highly recommended! We camped here in a camper.
