This is our second visit. I've noticed improvements over the previous stay. The Wi-Fi now is very good (2400kb down/800kb up). The cable TV before was very grainy last year, but looks great now. There are roughly 70 channels. The location is handy for us. We will be back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here one month. Overall a very nice experience. However, because of two problems, we will not return. The WiFi was never available at the north end (majority of sites) of the campground. We had to traipse up to the rec hall to get any reception. When queried, the staff blamed "all the big rigs and permanent residents running businesses out of their rigs". Wind and rain(?)were also blamed for poor reception. There was never an effort to deal with the problem! Secondly, the space between rigs is very tight. Rigs on alternate rows are backed-up to nearly touching each other. The beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and desert are completely blocked for those not lucky enough to be in one of the parks peripheral rows. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is a good location outside of town. The activities other than the pool are mostly for seniors. There are a lot of trailers some are very old. Mostly a clanish group. At the free cookout there were a few of us told that there were "NO" hamburgers left and we were given hotdogs. When in fact they were saving the burgers for their friends. Tred water slowly with the management team as they will jump down your throat if you ask them for anything at all. I watched them shut down the laundry when people complained about three dryers not working when there were 6 dryers left and people needed them. That was the rudest thing I have ever seen. Okay to stay but be carefull. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The check-in staff was friendly, but unconcerned about the unavailability of Internet in the area I was parked. They advertise WiFi Internet, but it has never worked when I stayed there. Maintenance staff was very friendly. Overall quiet and friendly place, but I probably won't stay there again as I usually need Internet to keep up with my school work. Although the restroom facilities were old and tired, they were clean and everything worked. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very clean park. Mostly has a park model park units but they really do accommodate RVer's. Easy pull throughs for big rigs. The staff are very helpful and friendly. This park has all the amenities a snowbird park would have and everything works! Sites were gravel and level. Park was at times little noisy from trains and jets but not enough to prevent us from coming back. We camped here in a motorhome. (800) 777-8799 We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older park, off the 10 fwy. Very nice park, clean and well maintained. The employees are courteous and nice. The bathrooms well maintained and clean. Very quite park, it was not very busy when we arrived there, this was early Sept. You would never know not too far away is large shopping center. Grocery stores, restaurants, fast foods. We would stop here again to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is in the desert outside of Tucson, far enough from the interstate and the railroad to be peaceful. The roads are paved, the sites are level gravel, there are some trees and several cactus gardens. The sites are quite wide, allowing you to angle an RV to increase the shade. The pool and patio area are quite nice and there is a covered area for shade. Quite a nice place to stay if you don't mind being 10-15 miles from the city. (ps - the April 08 review seems to be for a different park) We camped here in a Motorhome.

OK, so we liked it. The sites were exceptional, with good space and citrus trees separating the sites. The roads are in great shape and wide enough to maneuver into a site. We did take advantage of all the amenities, WiFi was the only weak link we found. Having a restaurant on site was a plus. Not in the best part of town, but security was exceptional. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first time in cactus country. Recently retired this was our first time in AZ. Unfortunately we only allowed ourselves two days here, to visit with friends. It’s just far enough from the expressway and Tucson to offer quiet evenings in a well manicured, paved road environment. Their amenities are limited but mother nature is their claim to fame. Reasonable price, good weather, and near enough to Tucson to fulfill your shopping and entertainment needs. What more could you want? We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was an O.K. park, in the desert. Many sites appeared to be taken by long-term construction workers. If you get in the last row, you have a beautiful view of the desert. Hook-ups were convenient, wide spaces on the pull-thurs. Some train noise but not bad. Sites were graveled, and most not to level. Interior roads were good. Park was kept clean. Nice laundry. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

In our 4 month trip this year this was, without a doubt, the worst overall experience we had. As soon as we hooked up we noticed that our electric meter was showing poor power. Went to the office and was confronted by the nastiest people, one office staff and one maintenance man. He tested it with his meter and basically told us we were crazy. Thought maybe our meter was wrong so got changed to go to the pool-- which was being renovated and not usable(should have been mentioned when we made the reservations!) Tried to connect to WIFI and finally took the laptop to the office to show them that I could not access it. Again was told that it was just me, that no one else ever complained. They were so tired of me at that point they told me I could leave since nothing of MINE seemed to be working properly and they would give me a refund. I was waiting for mail forwarding and couldn't go anywhere. We will NEVER stay here again. There is absolutely no need to be that nasty to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Located on the far southeastern edge of Tucson but with easy access to major roads, this is an OK park for a stopover or short stay. Lots of potential; large, gravel sites, good hookups, some shade, but the large number of long term/permanent residents with work trucks and outside storage detracts from the appearance. Free cable TV was poor. A personal gripe is that we try to stay at parks advertising wireless since we have a small business; this is another park where WiFi is advertised but doesn't work well if at all, and the management is indifferent (Oh, it never works when it is windy..gosh, I guess it's windy here a lot). I'd rather pay for a vendor-provided service that works than a free system that doesn't. A large number of dogs in the park, some of which are tied and left during the day while their owners are off to work create noise....don't think we'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park itself was well maintained, staff was friendly and the showers were clean. We were charged $3 a night extra for electric even though the weather was too cold to use out A/C. We also were charged a fee for pets even though we did not have any. They did fix the mistake as soon as we brought it to their attention. The pool was small and the one night it was warm enough to use the hot tub it didn't work. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautifully landscaped desert park with easy I-10 access, but away from the city noise & traffic. Paved streets, wide level gravel sites with picnic table, many with mature trees. Mountain views & awesome sunsets. Occasional daytime air traffic, but very quiet at night. Nice, clean restrooms & showers with great water pressure. Big rig, family & pet friendly. Laundry, pool, hot tub, playground, dog walk & more. Cable & internet included; propane & some supplies available. Owners & staff were very friendly & helpful, suggested nearby restaurants & grocery. Great price, stayed 4 nights with pets & truly enjoyed it! I-10 exit 275, 1/4 mile north on Houghton Rd. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very rural, quiet, close enough to on/off I-10. Friendly staff and RV'ers in general. A few park models, but mostly RVs. Dog friendly as long as you follow the rules. A place for horses, also. We loved it there, would go back in a heart beat. We stayed 2 months. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was one of the best parks we have stayed in on our travels. Although it was very hot on the day we arrived, there was a slight breeze throughout the park which made it bearable. The office staff was very helpful. The sites were large and roomy, with all hookups. The washrooms were very clean and roomy as well. The park itself was nicely landscaped and well taken care of. The roads were paved and wide and all sites had a cement pad. This is a Passport America participant. We would definitely stay at this park again and explore the Tucson area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a no frills park but we loved it. Very quiet, very clean, well maintained. Excellent management. We have Direct TV and a Verizon card for the computer, so we lacked for nothing. Laundry is free, no dryers because you can hang it out on their lines. Good old sunshine dry. The daily rate is an estimate as we are staying the whole season and pay the monthly rate.

We only stayed 3 nights this time but have spent as much as 6 weeks in past years. Great park and nice staff. It looked great this time and it appears they have stabilized since the corporation Chapter 11 problems last winter. Cable TV is somewhat limited and the Wi-Fi is now pay to play. We didn't do the free breakfast so for us the trade for the Wi-Fi is not a winner. We will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was immaculately maintained and all facilities were in working order. The free continental breakfast is nothing to get excited over. The park has a Camping World store essentially on premises and is located next to two large RV dealers. Beaudry has a huge RV service center with about 30 service bays. The immediate surrounding area is industrial in nature and near the Tucson airport. Park physical security is excellent. We stayed 4 nights and would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice level sites, good utility locations. Check-in process was a little long and a key card was required to go in/out of the gate and the card had to be returned when leaving - that was a pain. They wouldn't pre-assign a site because they put everyone side-by-side in the next available spot. Since they weren't very full, it would have been nice and more private if they had skipped a spot between RVs. The guy driving around on a golf cart asking if you are ready for a new RV was a little odd, but expected since it is part of an RV dealership. The Camping World (which is within walking distance) is overpriced - even higher than the catalog and about 10% higher than other Camping Worlds. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very clean and secure campsite. The sites are level with plenty of space to open your awning. The camp host was extremely polite and helpful. The pools are clean, the bathrooms are extremely clean, and the fitness room is one of the best I've seen. They have a nice large fenced in dog area to let your dogs run around. That's a big plus. Now for the negatives. Only one hour of free Wi-Fi doesn't really get the job done. The restaurant on site isn't open on the weekends. I didn't understand that. However the local Italian/pizza delivery is excellent. The putting green is tiny is okay for 4 year a old, but not much more than that. Lastly, I'm not sure why people stay in Tucson, this place is near railroad tracks and you will hear them. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This huge resort is very clean and well-maintained. It is gated with a security fence surrounding the entire park. Paved lanes are wide with plenty of space between easy-in/easy-out sites for the largest rigs. Each site is laid out so that the RV is parked on river rock (which does not track into the RV) and the steps come down over an 8 by 18-foot concrete patio with a wrought iron patio table and four chairs. We had to level slightly. Adjoining the patio is an asphalt pad for the toad or tow vehicle. Depending on where your waste drain is located, you may need more than 20 feet of sewer hose. The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful, but this place is big business and lacks the personality of a mom-and-pop campground. This park has a complimentary continental breakfast and nicely furnished and decorated rooms for get-togethers and games. There are two heated full-size swimming pools with Jacuzzis and a well-equipped exercise center. The two laundry rooms and bathrooms are large and clean. There are trees, but not large enough to provide shade, so your rig is in full sun all day. The downside is that there are only 23 cable TV channels, one hour of free Wi-Fi per day, and occasional noise from a busy street. There is a Camping World store accessible from the park without having to get on the city street. We recommend this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We arrived early on Saturday morning for the Labor Day weekend. The park was offering a Labor day discount rate of $25/night, as this is off season for them. Much of the campground was empty, and we could really see how well maintained the facilities were. Each space was a level concrete pad, with colored gravel around that. Our site had a small orange tree, but the oranges were still green, and needed a few more months to be ripe for the picking. A free continental breakfast was offered, but left a lot to be desired. The breakfast consisted of powdered orange juice, coffee, and very small and very dry muffins. (I feel bad saying that as I believe they were homemade). The rest of the park was really nice, we have 2 dogs, and there is a really nice dog park to let them run off leash. There were thunderstorms that night, and the next day the dog park was under at least a foot of water. The restrooms were clean, and the people at the front desk were friendly and helpful. We had WiFi service at our site. The first hour per day is free, after that you must pay a daily fee. Because it is not free WiFi, I had to deduct some on the rating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very well run park. Laundry room is great. Park is a bit pricey but fair for the area. Fairly easy access to lots of shopping and great if you are getting repairs done: Beaudry and La Mesa RV dealerships right next door. Camping World within walking distance. Verizon data access was great so we didn't use Wi-Fi here. There is a very good Mexican restaurant in west Tucson: Karichimaka. Very good food at a reasonable price. Lots of tourist stuff in the area: Sonora Desert Museum, Kitt Peak National Observatory, Mission San Xavier Del Bac to mention a few. Only complaint: landscaping is a bit spare. However, park is very clean and orderly. All services work very well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although there wasn't much green in this park, we really liked our stay here. It was very clean and practically deserted -- well, it was late April in Tucson! The staff was friendly and efficient, even when we kept extending our stay. The sites were large and easy to get into for our 35' fifth wheel. We tried the dog run that they advertised but it was overgrown with weeds and we were afraid that there might be snakes hiding that we couldn't see. There were also several holes toward the bottom of the fence that our dogs might have snuck through, so no dog run for us. If they just put gravel down instead of the dirt and weeds, it would be a big improvement. We would defintely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Located right next to the Beaudry RV center for sales and service, and a Camping World store on site also. The staff member we checked in with was not very personable, didn't explain much about the park. We had to go back and ask about the cafe, the wi-fi which is not free, the pool hours. When asked at check in if there were any discounts Good Sam, etc., she said no. Later while using the lobby PC to check e-mail I overheard another person ask a different person at the desk the same thing, and they said yes they honored Passport America. We then made the adjustment to our bill. It is a beautiful park and would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I like this park and it gives you a very open feeling although they have room for plenty of RVs. The streets are wide and paved, the sites are gravel with concrete patios. There is plenty of room between each site. They have two pools and they are clean and nice. The park is clean, the restaurant is pretty good and reasonably priced, and the laundry area is clean. On the negative side, the sites are not level, so we had to put boards on one side. Also, you have to pay for WIFI. You would think, for the high price, they could afford enough gravel to level the sites and give you WIFI free. We had some bad experiences with barking dogs and even had to complain. Nothing was done about the dogs, so every day we had to listen to them. The people had five dogs outside in a pen. The park needs to enforce their rules. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park and will certainly stay here again. Very clean, nicely landscaped, wide RV spaces with good length. A terrific dog run area that is huge! Fruit tree on every RV spacew is a nice touch. Only negative for me was the front desk service. The lady there certainly gives the impression that she is not thrilled to be working. I suspect people looking for a resort may wish to have more facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great RV park for Tucson. Tucson badly needed a good quality RV park and Beaudry provided it. Staff is nice. Spots are big with some privacy. Dogs are allowed-any size- which is great because I have a really big one. The only problems I found were with my WIFI being really slow- almost dial up slow. The other being the hours of the dog off leash park, and they lock the gates to it at sunset so my dog couldn't run after 6 pm and not before 7 am...that was rough because he needs to run and be off leash for excersize. Other then those two problems I don't see any reason not to stay here. Its the best RV park in Tucson that isn't next to a railroad track !! So if you like trains this is not the park for you.

I usually don't give a 10, but I have stayed here several times over the past 5 years, and not only has it improved, but it's price has come down. When we made reservations the quoted price was $42, but when we checked in it was $29; yes, I was told, they recently lowered the price. I guess more people than me went on their chat rooms to mention it, because over the past 5 days the place has literally come to life. We have seen Beaudry's struggle, and adding a fish pond, Bocci court, cleaning up the dog park were all appreciated, but lowering the price has put this place over the top. It's clean, neat, fruit laden tress, nice restaurant, free USA Today, cable, good security, and right across the street from LaMesa RV (best service in the West, ask for Joseph). We will continue to return twice a year minimum (Gem shows). We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a huge, beautiful, clean park! It has everything you could imagine! Staff was very friendly too! I would have given it a 10 except they put me on a site in an outside row and it was NOISY all day/night with road traffic!

This is a very nice city located park. The sites are roomy, level and very well kept. It is a desert area so there is no grass or large trees. However, there are citrus trees at every site and in January there are tree ripened oranges, grapefruit and lemons there for the picking...YUM. Our one complaint was with the internet service. It was terrible and cost us $5.00 per day in addition to the $53 daily charge for the site. Also there were many empty sites here even in January which is the busiest season for RV parks in Arizona. We made reservations but found we did not need to do that. It is in the heart of the city so there is the distant traffic, train and airplane sounds that come with a city location, but nothing to keep you up at night. It is a very nice park and we would have given it a 10 were it not for the internet problems. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a typical resort type park. The site was clean, security with key pass, all the typical resort pads. Our site was pull through as most are. Each has shrubs and even orange and lime trees. A nice touch. Now all that being said, I was reminded of the movie: Planes, Trains and Automobiles while here. It was noisy. North of park is I-10, SW is Tucson Airport and they have a train line near too. That does not contribute to a quite night. It was convenient but I think I might try to find a less urban park if I stayed here long. Its a nice resort, but with the above mentioned noise plus the in and out of rv's it was just too noisy especially if you are parked near the front area with the added check in and out noise.

This was a back-in site on a weekly rate and includes a 13.5% Tucson tax, which is high. This park has paved roads and sites with gravel around, and with a cocrete patio plus table, with full hookups and cable TV and a wifi that works well. It has a nice laundry, fitness center, pool and cafe. The staff is friendly and helpful. A nice touch is the citrus trees at many sites and the lemons were ripe and dropping at our site when we were there. It's located behind the RV dealership and Camping World out front is convenient. The gates are locked at night with a card key entry gate. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When we first got there the office decided to close early and we had to keep trying for security to get in. When he finally arrived, it was like we had bothered him, and was less then friendly during the check-in process. Equally, the staff in the office was not friendly either. It wasn't anything that was said, but rather there was not welcome feeling that we generally receive from other parks. The large pool, exercise room was slim for the number of sites. We would not recommend it at all. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It really depends on what you are looking for. This is an excellent resort type RV park. They have thought of just about everything. This is as nice of a resort as I have seen. We overnighted here on our way from San Antonio, TX, to the Grand Canyon. We just prefer camping, with trees, space, campfires, dirt, grass and space. You won't get any of that here. You will be able to open your slides and your awning, but you'll still be staying on a gravel and concrete parking lot with small trees and bushes planted in preplanned spots. If this is your thing, then you'll love it. We thought it was great as an overnight stop. Good security, quiet and not very many people there since it was off season. We wouldn't come here to stay any length of time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall, this is a nice facility. It is on the grounds of the Beaudry RV dealer in Tucson. The RV Park itself is at the rear of the property. The entire complex is huge, and the RV Park itself is fenced and gated and has 24 hour security. The sites are very compact gravel while the landings are pavement. The size of the sites is good, plenty deep and very wide. All roads are pavement and in great shape. There are not alot of shade trees on the grounds. We stayed only one night, but I would stay more. There is a restaurant on site. The park was not crowded when we were there on July 3, 2008. I would have given the park a higher score, but we had a problem with after-hours check in. It took over an hour for someone to unlock the main gate to let us in, evidently the guard who was supposed to be manning the back gate (after-hours entrance) did not show up for work. Also, the 50A receptacle at the first site that we were directed to was very troublesome as it was lose in the box. It threw sparks and blew the breaker when I tried to hook up. Those two issues were minor though. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would stay again. The best features of the park are the security and the wide sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very clean well kept park in an urban city. It is close to the freeway, but has 24 hour security and gates. It is located behind the RV Dealership and the RV sales staff spend a lot of time speeding through the park in noisy golf carts scoping out potential new RV buyers. The amenities are great and most of the staff are nice. The restaurant serves very good meals though their hours are limited or they are closed during the hot summer season. There is a Camping World store at the front of the property, which is very convenient. This is a great place to stop over for a few nights. The park is full during winter months and nearly empty from April to October. The customer service at the dealership is horrible, but good to have there if you need some work done.

This resort is one of the best we've seen. There are trees and bushes, some sites have small plots of grass and hedges of Oleander bushes providing plenty of privacy and shade. The food was good at the restaurant, although limited in variety. Each site has a patio table and chairs. The park is set up with plenty of turning room for big rigs and sites are wide enough for slides and awnings. Gated, but easy to get in and out with a plastic pass card. This is our second time here.

This is an outstanding resort if one is looking for a place catering primarily to the big-rig motorhome crowd. Our pop-up was a little out of place! Sites were very nice (pebblestone instead of the dusty crushed rock you find in a lot of places), great pool and hot tub. Laundry facilities were excellent, and the on-site restaurant had good food at a reasonable price. The staff were very friendly, and were very helpful in quickly fixing a broken stabilizer jack at the on-site RV dealership. Given the paucity of places in Tucson that will even accept children, we'd stay here again. Wi-fi connection was excellent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were given a complimentary pass to stay at the park for two nights. The park is very well maintained and has full hookups and very easy to access, decent sized sites. By decent sized, I mean we were able to get the slides and awning out and not feel that we were inches from our neighbors. The park has some nice amenities and is within walking distance of Camping World, which is nice if you have to pick up any supplies.

This is a nice RV park for a city type setting. The sites were larger than average with some smaller shrubs and trees between sites in most areas. It is a decent base camp for visiting areas in Tucson or for an overnight as the campground is easy to navigate and has a mix of pull throughs and back-ins. The campgrounds are well-maintained and public areas are kept clean. They are within walking distance of a Camping World store, which is convenient. The staff were not very friendly in our experience. We had an issue where we checked in during a driving rain and they kept closing the gate before I could get back in my motorhome and make it through such that I had to get out and talk to them via the intercom three times before I made it in. Needless to say I was soaking wet by this time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is just too big. The staff is indifferent due to the number of people waiting in line. The gate is very poorly marked and we ended up driving several blocks out of our way in heavy traffic with a 40' DP. The town has grown up around the park and the traffic is very bad getting to the park. The amount of security, including concertina wire around the top of the fence, makes me think that this is a bad part of town. They also lock the gate at night and you have to lean out your coach window and dial on a box, for entry, when you check in. A card key is required to get in after 8 PM. I can find the same facilities at a smaller park with a lot less stress and a lot less money. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Did you ever go to an RV resort, and feel that it was about to close? No store, no coffee, and the restaurant is closed (not for the summer, its empty). The whole place was empty, but its still nice, just deserted. We would have liked to have known when we made reservations that the restaurant was out of business, as I imagine those without cars would have liked to have that bit of information. We were swarmed on by salespeople within 3 hours of our arrival, and found out from a few of them how "things are changing around here". Well, let me tell you, I agree, and its not good.

That said...it is still a terrific park and we enjoyed the solitude. Only two other spaces were occupied on our row the first night. More guests arrived our second night. Pool never got very crowded even though the second pool was closed for maintenance during our stay. Had to do some laundry this trip and room was clean and well stocked.

It is absolutely inconceivable to me that a park this nice, which has obviously spent millions in improvements, is so pet unfriendly and has such terrible wi-fi. The dog walk is so far away from most sites that only a dog with kidneys the size of a motorhome could make it, and the wi-fi sign on is absolutely the most convoluted, difficult-to-understand, ridiculous procedure I have ever seen. Unfortunately, if you do finally get on, you almost wish you han't. The signal is so weak, and the system keeps dropping connections, until it is virtually useless.

Our patio came with a table and four chairs. There was plenty of room for our truck and the Fifth Wheel. Security comes around very often. I would have rated it a ten, but I was upset when I paid because their website said the daily rates for pull thrus was $37 + tax. With the Good Sam discount that would have been $33.30 a night. When we paid they said it was $38.25 a night with Good Sam discount plus taxes meaning it had gone up a lot - like $10 more a night than I expected! With tax the rate was $43.36 a night. She claimed they had changed their rates. I told her their website that day still showed the lower rate and she acted surprised. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park was very clean and well run with lots of facilities (two pools, fitness center, etc). Sites are gravel/stone with concrete patio with table. Separate paved spot for tow vehicle. Resort was having trouble with WIFI while we were there, but we were able to connect on occasion, although with a very low signal. About 18 channels of cable TV, two water hookups. Could not use our water pressure regulator as we could not get any water with it on. Removed regulator, turned water on very slightly, then we were fine. No problem with highway noise even though located very close to I-10, although train noise could be bothersome if you are a light sleeper. All in all, would stay again when heading down to Tucson. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is truly a great park. Nice wide sites, easy access in and out. Friendly check-in and reasonable prices, given all the features. There is vegetation near each site and even a privacy wall, if you choose one of the jacuzzi sites, which we did not. We didn't think it was a large parking lot, as others have characterized the place. We'll stay here again on our next pass through Tucson. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is our fourth trip here, and it's always very civilized, clean, neat, and nice. We like the convenience, the restaurant, the personnel, and the size of the sites: that's why we return. Compared to other Arizona RV Parks/Resorts it is a 10. As far as service goes, I've done that once here, and will NEVER do it again. I found them rude, incompetent, arrogant, and overpriced (but that has no bearing on the RV Resort). We camped here in a Motorhome.

If I could give this place an 11, I would!! Simply the best private campground we have stayed in. The sites are beautifully manicured and feel very private. We got a jacuzzi site for $30 a night which was a great bargain. Even the restaurant lived up to their billing of "fabulous food" (the chicken pot pie is yum!!) The staff was helpful, courteous, and very friendly. As other reviewers mentioned, you really do feel like you are at a resort. Why can't all campgrounds be this good?

This is one of the better parks we have been in since we left Oregon and went to Key West, Florida. There is a great Service facility here on-site too, and they are wonderfully professional and well trained technicians. The park is immaculate and very nice sized sites. We usually come here for Homecoming at the University, but we come here just to enjoy the accommodations at other times. If you are coming to southern Arizona, this is the place to stay!

This resort does indeed have good FREE WIFI--I am using it to submit this review, as it functions a good bit better than our Datastorm dish has recently. It also has grass and hedges and trees on the jacuzzi sites for $30 this time of year and through December. The trees don't provide shade, but they do provide fruit if you're here at the right time. I have to say that this is the first RV park we've stayed in during six months of full-timing that truly deserves the name "resort," and we've stayed in many that called themselves that. The customer service makes the difference. The people who work here act like the employees at Disney, not those at a convenience store who get annoyed at being interrupted on the phone. It has been a pleasure, and it's hardly a parking lot. The streets are paved, yes. My house is clean because of it. We also had work done on our Motorhome the same day we requested it, and a slight delay in processing the paperwork resulted in a free lunch for two a their very good restaurant where the employees had kindly spent a half hour telling us about Tucson the morning before. What's to complain about? We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the second time in 3 months that we stayed here. We receieved, in the mail, an offer that they were having Family Weekend. Everything was FREE!!! Free site, Free food, Free games for the kids. We said, WHY NOT!!! We had catered food Friday night, all 3 meals on Sat and Sunday morning breakfast. It wasn't a sales pitch to buy an new RV, just a THANK YOU weekend from them for either buying an RV before or staying at the resort. They have a special rate for the summer of only $10 a night to stay, so we stayed and extra 2 nights!! It was a nice weekend. The staff there is very nice and helpful. They just put in a dog park. A park for people is still being built (95% complete) We will be going back in March for Spring training. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent location for being able to travel to all of the sites in the Tucson area. Located between a Air Force Base and the Tucson Airport, considerable daytime noise from the planes, however is quiet at night. A very well-maintained RV park. Nice restaurant and recreation room on the premises. Office help was very nice. We camped here in a 5th Wheel. We occupied a pull-through site which measured about 35' x 65'. Paved concrete patio next to rig, asphalt paved parking pad, well-kept gravel on all ground areas, each space has a citrus tree with fruit available for your picking. Streets are all paved. Facility is pride of ownership. We will camp here again when in the area. At the entrance to the resort there is a Camping World Store, also Beaudry RV's sales lot and their huge service shop.

This was a nice surprise! They were running a summer special at $14.95 per night for full hook-up site and around $25 if you wanted a site with your own hot tub on it. Free Sunday omelet breakfast with bacon, sausage, milk, coffee & juice. Nice restaurant on site, gift shop, two pools, two hot tubs, and most sites had a citrus tree on it. Showers a little small, not too small though and clean. You are not pressured or even asked to look at any units or listen to any sales pitches.

This is a phenomenal in-town park that could not be better located for touring the Tucson area! You really have to impress me to get a 10 rating. The park roads are paved throughout with level gravel sites. We stayed at a jacuzzi site which could not have been better. The jacuzzi is partially enclosed by a trellis to allow you a bit of privacy and light shade. A blooming citrus tree wafted a heavenly scent across the site throughout the stay. Some previous reviews complained of traffic and air noise and its true that you can hear this occasionally. If your site is near the fence I would expect that the traffic noise might be a little louder but we rarely heard anything more than a distant hum. Jets departing from the Tuscon airport were never heard but fighters taking off from the nearby air base were definitely louder. The take offs were not regular and we found them to not be any problem. Having said that, this is not a quiet rural park. If you prefer to stay away from the city with only the sounds of nature in the background this is not the park for you, but if you are looking for a perfect location for touring all that the Tucson area has to offer I cannot think of a better location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I have a slightly different take on this park. It does reflect a good effort but not an ideal place to camp. This is a sales lot with an attached RV park. Most know this going in and it was no suprise to me. A good location for sales is not usually good for camping. It is located near I-10 and I could hear traffic noise all night. Worse yet this park is located between the Tucson airport and Davis AFB so jet noise and road noise combine. If you like to observe military aircraft this is a good place but be aware that you can hear the winged rockets for 5 minutes after leaving the runway. I wanted and expected to like the place based on the previous reviews but considering the cost, lack of wireless internet and noise I can only offer a 6. Best feature was the lemon tree (ok to pick) right outside the door. Dec. 04 in a 40 ft. motorcoach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed here every year since 2001 and they keep improving it. A very nice and
comfortable park. But I really wonder why they haven't gotten WiFi installed in the park yet? The $.50 charge every time you hook up to the internet within your coach is a pretty old-fashioned and cheap service to be offering guests. As big and as good as this park strives to be it's a major drawback for those of us who enjoy being connected on the road. Communication Folks at Beaudry, do you hear me now??

We stayed here two nights and they charged us $125 in the office! We had called and got a rate of about $30. After much discussion and calling the manager they dropped it but I still don't know why they charged so much! We had nothing extra, just cable, electric, water. The internet in the clubhouse was always occupied. Place was clean but it had a sanitary feeling. It did not feel like a *real* rv resort because, let's face it, you are in a parking lot for a dealer. To be fair, it is clean and the laundry facilities are great!

We've stayed here four different times and really like it. The sites are wide, level, long and clean. Each site has a patio with a patio set and a citrus tree with fruit for the picking. All streets are paved. The Bistro has good food and service at decent prices. Camping World is close as are dealerships for most brands. Beaudry is a Fleetwood dealer but Winnebago is right across the street and another dealer is right down the road. Twice we've opted for their hot tub sites (more expensive) and these have a grassy area that our dog loved:) Quiet with no road noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You won't find a nicer state campground anywhere. I'll ditto the other reviewers regarding spaciousness. The only drawback is no sewer but if there was you would probably never have space available. There are nice accessible dump sites if needed and the 50 amp electrical is great. There are two separate campgrounds, Section A & Section B. "A" has a combination of electric and non-electric sites, whereas "B" has all electric sites. Lots of areas for hiking and bike riding just watch out for those slithery critters who also inhabit the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful desert-mountain campground. There are two areas, A and B. Campground B is newer, has excellent restroom and shower facilities, but a bit less shade than A. Campground A is older, generally has smaller sites, and the restroom and shower are on the small side. Showers are the type that have a timer button outside the shower, so it goes off after a couple of minutes. Also, the shower head is fixed, as are the amount and temperature of the water. The men's showers were needlepoint sharp sprays with very high pressure, to me. By contrast, Campground B was very modern, adjustable, and comfortable. Lots of room for handicap access in B. We had no problem getting a 42' motor home into sites in B, and it wasn't very difficult in A. I believe there's a 14-day limit when they're busy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful campground with the mountain views right outside your rig. The main drawback we found was having to fight the Tucson traffic to go anywhere. Most of the sights we wanted to see were either south or east of Catalina and you have to go through Tucson to get there. This was our first trip to the area and even though we liked the campground we would look for one on the south side of town on our next visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We love this park; it is one of the finest we stay at. The only problem I can see with it at all is the dump station in the B loop is a real bottle neck which can only handle one rig at a time. If they would only open the dump site close to the exit of the park, I would be extremely happy. They have this dump which can handle two rigs at a time locked up tight. Everything else at the park is superbe, the hosts, the showers, the camp sites, everything. We will come back here again and again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Shorts and t-shirt during the sunny days but quite cold once the sun went down. Our water line froze on two nights.

What a great place to spend a couple of weeks. I ditto what the other camper said in May 2008 about the park. There are two campgrounds A & B. "A" seems to be a little smaller with non-electricity sites and "B" has larger sites and all have 50 amp electric and water. Dump stations are convenient and overall the park is kept up very nicely. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this place! Don't be concerned about its proximity to Tucson, you definitely feel like you are in the wilderness/desert here. The view of the Catalina Mountains from most sites is outstanding. There are great walking trails, some very informative for people not from the Southwest. The sites are large and most in the A Loop are relatively private thanks to the Mesquite Trees (remember this is the desert). The park itself is spotless, as are the bathrooms. This is a good place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a beautiful park. Sites are large, easy to get in and out. Bathhouses are kept spotless. Convenient to shopping with any kind of services one might need within a mile and a half, yet you feel as though you are a million miles from civilization. Park has wonderful hiking and biking trails. We felt very fortunate to get into this park during Spring Break. Apparently, it stays very busy, with good reason. Any time we happen to be in the Tucson area, we will definitely come back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our third stay at this park and I like it better each time! This time we camped in a non-hookup site which I actually preferred. It was a pull through, easy to get in to, spacious with some privacy from neighbors and had a great view of the Catalina Mountains. The park is convenient to most Tucson attractions and has lots of trails of its own to explore. Would have stayed longer if time had allowed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice State Park. The bathrooms were heated and very clean. It gets a 9 for a campground as a State Park but keep in mind it doesn't have sewer hookups or laundry facilities. The site are level for the most part and access is very easy. There are plenty of non-hookup sites you can dry camp in while waiting for a hook up site to open. During the rainy season, the road into the campground can wash out, trapping those inside or keeping those outside...out. We had to wait for 3 days to get into the park. The views are beautiful, there are several geocaches in the park and the walks are great. Local history and ruins were interesting. It is about 20 minutes from Tucson via surface streets. Go to the Botanical gardens when you're in town. The food at the cafe there was delicious and the botanical knowledge you'll gain is worth it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Since most AZ state parks don't use a reservation system, we were a little worried about getting a spot in this popular park. But, since we visited a couple weeks before the Gem Show in Tucson, we had no problem getting a campsite. We hear that it's difficult to get a spot during Gem Show time. The sites are spacious and the entire park is great. The bathrooms are very clean and the staff friendly and helpful. There is plenty of shopping close to the park, yet you don't feel at all like you're near an urban area once inside the park. As we brought an elderly dog with us, we didn't hike the plentiful trails, but we plan to next time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Just north of Oro Valley on Oracle, this park is amongst the best in which we have stayed. The CG is quiet, with large, paved, and separated sites, each with a picnic table. Restroom facilities are spotless with good hot water showers. The park has a good dump station and the batwing gets Tucson channels. Verizon phone signal was two or three bars. The Oro Valley public library is close by for internet access. Rancher's Supply is just north in Catalina for a propane fill. We would stay here again for sure! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice state park. The sites are very spacious and it's a good thing, because there are few trees in this desert setting to provide privacy. The showers are clean and have plenty of hot water. The hiking here is excellent, with trails for every ability. We hiked everything from the Birding Trail to the Romero Pools Trail and loved it all. Would definitely return here, but only in the cooler months. It was plenty warm even in November. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent location just on the edge of Tucson. Sites are spread out with great views of the mountains at most. Loop A seems to have the better views/spread out sites, but only half of loop A has hook-ups. Loved the hikes we took right from the campsite. The Romero Pools hike is wonderful, but not easy (but we saw several seniors on the hike, so...!) Very friendly people camped there, mostly families so it was quiet at night. I'm interested in returning in early spring to see the flowers, it was pretty dry in November (but weather was lovely). Have fun! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had intended to stay only two or three days but this is such a nice park and only a few miles from Tucson that we decided to stay for 2 weeks. This was one of the nicest state parks we have stayed in anywhere and was a reasonable price at $20 a night. No sewer but water and strong 50 amp elect. I watered a nearby Mesquite tree with gray water at night (don't tell anyone)so we didn’t have to dump frequently. The sites were paved and long with lots of space between. Some bare spots and dirt but lots of native plants and wildlife. We put out a bird feeder and went through about 8 pounds of seed in a week. We often heard owls and coyotes ant night. I will definitely return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you like the desert, it doesn't get any better than Catalina. Popular, (with good reason) we lucked in to a hookup site and stayed the entire 2 weeks allowed. The non-electric side is a little more private (wooded?) and there were a LOT of rigs waiting there for a hookup site. Great hiking, stunning views, very friendly staff. Horseback riding was big. Bathrooms were amazing, referred as the 'Taj Mahals'. It was a few miles south (downhill) of the park to excellent shopping, a couple miles north (uphill) to a laundromat.

This is a large state park right on the outskirts of Tucson - and I mean right on the outskirts. Drive just a mile from the park and you are in the land of strip malls and housing developments. I hope the state has this land locked up tight because it is being surrounded by development. It makes for a rather unsettling approach to the park, but once you are there that is all forgotten and you can pretend you are really out in the wilderness - at least a little. There is a lot to do at this park -hiking, bicycling and birding or just relaxing. The staff at the Visitors Center can provide you with a good handout that describes all the trails. The campground itself is laid out pretty nicely with fairly good privacy between the sites. A previous review mentioned the system used in the Arizona state parks and I agree that it works well. You pay as you come in and they give you a tag to hang on your rig and/or your car and then you just go and pick out the site you like. It's first-come, first-served, but we had no trouble getting a spot mid-week. There are no sewer hook-ups, but there is a dump station. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice state park with wonderful views and trails. I would have rated it higher if it weren't for the fact that an electrical transformer box, within the campground loop, buzzed so loudly at night that it was uncomfortable to sit outside. I mentioned this to the ranger, but she wasn't much interested as no one else had complained. Otherwise this is a great place to camp. It is close to good shopping and restaurants, although it's in a country setting. We put out bird feeders and got much activity in numbers and variety. TV reception is good with an antennae. What I appreciated most was that the staff took our $20 and turned us loose into the campground; we were able to pick which ever available site we wanted without having to report back, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are looking for the usual resort type facilities then this is not for you. However if you like peace and quiet in a beautiful setting with lots of space between sites then you are close to perfection here. Great campground, hiking, biking, relaxing with wonderful mountain views. It doesn't get much better! Huge sites, paved pads are pull thru or back-in, 50 amp service and water. No sewer but dump site was convenient and clean. Only slight down side, as a desert environment it can be a little dusty. We stayed 5 nights over Christmas in a 45ft motor home. Kudos to the State of Arizona for a great park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a State administered park just outside of Tucson proper and actually right inside a suburban area north of the busy city. Long graceful entrance taking you far away from the traffic and bustle. Big immaculate campground areas with huge sites and located beneath the wonderful vistas of the Catalina Mountains. There are separate areas for equestrian users, trails for mountain bikers and trails for hikers with a mix of easy to strenuous. If you like hiking or biking, this is a great place to be. Not too far away is the Biosphere 2 which makes for a good day trip. A little pricey for a state park but this one is almost as nice as the Oregon State parks which can't be beat.

Excellent campground, especially for the price. Tenters can get a non-elect. site for $18. They just built a new campground and it still fills up, even during the week, especially in February. Quiet and sites are well spread out. My neighbor was easily 75' away. Excellent mountainbiking and hiking trails from the campground. Even an equestrian center with barn and RV parking for the horse people. Nice location, just 8 miles north of Tucson and by far the most reasonable, quietest, and nicest campground for the money.

If you're looking for amenities, this isn't it. Only w/e sites were available when we called, but that was OK for us. These sites are in 'overflow', which doubles as the dog walk area. This is OK except for a couple humans that didn't pick up after their pets. FHU sites looked pretty packed in, with barely room for slide-outs. Noise from trains and I-8 is not notable. Wi-fi is available, but my Verizon aircard had better speed and signal. No stores or restaurants nearby, but within fifteen minutes driving. A bit pricey for what you get, we won't stay again.

We decided to save some money and stay at this campground because the others in Tucson seemed expensive. That was a mistake. Crazy Horse has narrow sites that are crammed together so closely that you can't open your awning. The pull troughs are short, so we had trouble parking our towed car out of the way. It is close to the interstate and an Air Force base, so it is noisy. If we return to Tucson, we will spend the money and stay at a nicer park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

WiFi did not work most of the time. They said they were going to fix it, but that did not happen. The owners were not too pleasant to deal with. Seems to me that they could care less about the campers staying there. The sites were real close together. The sites were hard to get in if you had a big rig. We couldn't use our awnings. Lots of noise from the air base close by. If you had trouble with your rig and was late checking out they would charge you extra. The roads were in bad shape. Only plus was it is close to the interstate and shopping in town. The pool was closed most of the time. The clubhouse was locked most of the time. We will not stay there again.

This park worked for us as a base for seeing the area--conveniently located, close to Saguaro NP and quiet at night--but we didn't hang around much. Those traveling with pets are parked in a separate area, where NO ONE seemed inclined to clean up after their animal. I've never seen so much dog cr*p in one place in my life. I usually clean up behind the lazy ones, but it would have been a full-time job. Honestly, it was that bad. And watch out for the fuzzy chollas when walking the dogs; even when being very careful, at least one of ours picked up a hard-to-remove prickler every walk we took. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very good park. That said these are my observations during my recent 16 night Jan/Feb 2009 stay. Pro's: Excellent staff with great attitude. Clean park. Animals are always under control. Very fast Wi-Fi with AgaveGulch4 router in park. Bathhouse in long-term part of park updated and clean. Availability of overflow. Extremely fair and executed overflow => park policy. No reservations; first come, first served is best policy. 21 day policy before rotate out of park. Con's: Sites are too close together in most of the park. Wi-Fi in overflow (AgaveGulch2) is scared turtle slow. Pressure to vote for park on MilitaryCamprounds web site. Bathhouse at laundry and west end of park not updated and not very clean (especially showers). Laundry too small for size of park. No fitness facilities in park. Actually, there are no real campground facilities, you must go across base and use the base facilities if you want anything extra. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a military Air Force Base FamCamp and is only open to military or retired military. It is very busy during late January through February. No Reservations. Get into the park by 15 January and you’ll probably not have to wait. Later than that, you’ll end up in the overflow without services until a space comes available. Bathhouses are still available to the overflow sites. You’ll wait from 3 to 5 days to get an actual full service site during late January through February. The overflow sucks but the actual sites are great. Cost is $5 in overflow and $16 per night in full hookup sites. WiFi and hardwire internet connections are available. The rating above is for the actual sites. Overflow rates a 4 in my book. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is located on Davis-Monthan AFB, and you must be a DoD ID card holder to access the campground. It's a fair campground, as far as military campgrounds go. There is a clubhouse with internet and a laundromat. The base pool and shoppette are within walking distance. Most sites do not have shade, and the sites are not very big. It's packed in the winter, due to the great weather. Not much grass for pet relief, most of the landscape is crushed rock. Great security with armed guards and fighter airplanes!

They have a full activity schedule, clubhouse, library, pool, hot tub, and shuffle board and RVers are welcome to use everything. This is a very pleasant community and the grounds are very well maintained. We stayed for 5 weeks. This had one of the least expensive monthly rates in Tucson. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is an interesting mix. It is quite far from the city so is quiet but is also a drive to any services and shopping. All of the park is gravel, roads wide and most back in sites are separated by large elevated logs. Lots of cacti and palm trees in the park for visual appeal but also an old empty pool (working pool is nice) and remains of a water slide are visible. That being said, staff is wonderful, park is clean and electric was stable although the park was sparsely populated as most of their snowbirds are not here yet. Wi-Fi worked at our site but did slow down even in a mostly empty park. There is no TV unless you have a satellite dish. Long term residents were especially friendly. The buildings are all well kept and the laundry (they have three) was great. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I wintered at Desert Trails for five years and would have only minor complaints. I will confirm what others have noted: the owners of the Park are very helpful and accessible, and will bend over backwards to accommodate you. I had a couple of minor site maintenance issues and they were there in a flash to take care of it. In the office they just couldn't be any nicer or more helpful. I am an avid hiker and so the trail access into Tucson Mountain Park was very appealing to me. Plenty of birds and wildlife, as well. I also liked being away from the city, although obviously that also means you'll have to drive a ways for groceries or other shopping. In general, I would give good marks for the quiet, although San Joaquin Road seems to get busier all the time. There is also a shooting range nearby, and when it's busy (tournaments?), the non-stop shooting noise can go on for several hours. It's true the Park's buildings are older and there's nothing fancy about them, but they are in good repair and everything seems to work. The Wi-Fi quality is uneven. At times it was excellent, other times I could barely get a signal. This is a common complaint at many parks, of course. I rarely watch TV, so the lack of cable never bothered me much. My understanding was that the Tucson cable TV company hadn't wired the area in general, so the lack is not the fault of the Park. Lots of activities, as others have pointed out. If you get bored here, you're not trying. I would definitely return to Desert Trails. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is hard to rate. If you want peace and quiet, especially in the summer, this is the perfect place. You are away from Tucson and miss typical airplane, train, or highway traffic noise. And we had a great space next to some desert brush. The owner is a terrific guy and gives you a great orientation about places to go and things to see. His orientation was very helpful to us. But, the park does need some serious work; especially the water slides that need to be removed (since they are non-functional now). Nevertheless, I would stay here again, versus another park that is just next door, but very bare. Our rate reflects the CCUSA discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We chose this park based on the rave reviews by others, but were somewhat disappointed. It appears that it is the friendly owners and guests as well as the activities that make this such a popular place to spend the Winter. The park would benefit greatly by some demolition of the old water park buildings, more modern facilities and cable TV. Many of the sites are just unappealing bare gravel, but since most of the snowbirds had left, we were able to park in a very pleasant spot with lovely desert vegetation all around. Wi-fi reception was spotty and TV reception poor. We would probably try to find a park closer to the city if traveling through here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an excellent RV Park. It is located West of Tucson about 10 miles, so it really feels like you are not staying in a big city. Park is very pet friendly and there are lots of activities for the residents. The owner does an excellent job making you feel welcome. Excellent hiking trails adjacent the park. This is the first park we found in Arizona that includes electricity and Wi-Fi in there fee. The only draw back to the park is that some sites are close together, however we were fortunate to have a larger site and there was quit enough room. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great RV Park. We have been coming here for 3 years and have enjoyed it every time. We travel full time and enjoy this park the best of any. They have activities everyday all season and information meetings with donuts every Monday. The desert trails are wonderful to walk or hike and maps are avaiable at the office. Many sites are close together but the nice people you meet here make it okay. We would like cable and 50 amp at our site but do okay without it. We would recommend this RV Park to anyone over 55.

This was our first long term winter outing and we spent 3 months at Desert Trails. There are so many activities to get involved in (or not) and the management is extremely friendly and accommodating. Rural setting away from the hustle & bustle of Tucson but close enough to shopping and restaurants. Many of the residents get involved in projects that improve the park. For example, volunteers created a miniature golf course & a croquet area in the middle of this former waterpark. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have reservations for next season.

For my 1st RV park it couldn't have been better. Lots of activities both in and out of the park. Lots of music from jam sessions, mariachi, "Arvel Bird" fiddling, "Almost Willie", and much more. And it happens once or twice a week at least. Bingo, Blongo, and minature golf. If you get bored it's your own fault. The location in the desert on the west side of Tucson is also a plus. There is much to do and see in the area. Only downside, I don't think there we're near enough NASCAR fans. Everything else is covered. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is situated in the Desert just east of Tucson and you are just a short drive from many tourist sites. If you like activities then this is the place for you. All RVs are packed in like sardines and pull-throughs are at a premium. It is a bit far from the grocery store or shopping but it is easy to get around until you get on the I-10 which is undergoing major repairs. The desert trails are nice and the sunsets are excellent.

We accidentally found this park on the net. We called and booked a week. We were here for one hour and changed our week to one month - then after two hours, changed it again to 2 months!! We were supposed to leave last week, but changed it again and added another week. We love this park!!! Besides not having to pay extra for EVERYTHING (electricity, ice, pop, coffee and donuts for the Monday morning meeting (certainly not mandatory), etc) are all included in the monthly rate. The owners are wonderful!!!! It is a very friendly park with lots of activities. You can keep busy all day with everything that is scheduled - or just sit back and do nothing but enjoy the weather if that is your choice. We have already made our reservations for next year. Yes, the sites are kind of close together, but due to the wonderful owners, the wonderful scenery, trails into the desert start right from the park, and everyone being so friendly, it doesn't matter that the sites are close. Some sites have more room than others. If you return year after year, your chances of getting a larger site increase greatly. If you like a park that looks like your suburban area at home and you are parking in your driveway (except for better weather) than this is not the park for you. If you enjoy cactus, great scenery, wonderful and friendly owners, tons of activities and even the chance to do a lot of volunteer work for great causes (like making dolls for hospitals and so many more, there are too many to mention) and friendly people, than this is the park for you. It certainly is the park for us. This is a very popular park (we met several people who have been coming here every year for 10 years), and I kind of hate to give them this glowing report and make it even harder for us to get in here - but the owners certainly deserve it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Desert Trails is the friendliest RV park we've ever visited. Pericles and Kyoko Wyatt, the owners, are gracious, helpful, witty and fun. They encourage campers to participate in a variety of activities such as walking the interesting trails adjacent to the park, hiking,or playing games such as mini golf or blongo ball. Social events abound--potlucks, dances, performances by visiting musicians--and everyone is invited. Monday morning meetings provide an opportunity to meet new people and learn about activities and events--all with free donuts and coffee and plenty of humor.

There is a real sense of community at Desert Trails RV Park. Every Monday morning they have a meeting to discuss the activities that will take place that week. Some of the activities include hiking, bicycling, arts and crafts, poker, mini golf, line dancing, karaoke, and game night. There is something for everyone here including a heated swimming pool, hot tub, and hiking trails adjacent to the park.

Everyone is friendly and there are far more activities available than there is time to join in, including lots of wonderful pot luck meals. Monday morning information meetings are a hoot!

A very nice older park located right in the midst of the Sonoran desert, so there are certainly no freeway noises. Shopping and eating at major venues is an easy 20 minutes or less away. If you want something to do, there is no lack of activities. There is a weekly Monday AM meeting (which is well attended) with coffee and donuts to review weekly activities and make any important announcements or to answer any questions people might have. There is some kind of entertainment provided every week (sometimes more than one) and most are free or "pass the hat." The owners are very pleasant and seem to bend over backwards to accommodate people. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a very nice park, rustic on gravel with the sites clearly defined with no room to encroach on your neighbors site. We stayed 3 nights while we stocked up at Costco and did other shopping before leaving the area. Water pressure was very good and no electrical fluctuations that we run into frequently at other parks. No problems getting satellite reception and also had good cell and Internet reception. There were plenty of activities to keep most people occupied. We loved how quiet it was and the people couldn’t have been friendlier. This would have been a great place to have spent the winter if we already had not made plans to be elsewhere. If you don’t want to be located in the city with the traffic noise this is a great place. The I-10 freeway is torn up right now and the surface streets in the downtown area are very congested. We found that it was almost impossible to use our GPS to find businesses. GET A GOOD MAP and call businesses for their cross streets. This was a very pleasant park and we will stay here when in the Tucson area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is rustic and blends in with the desert. The roads and pads are dirt and most sites require a fair amount of rig leveling. There are separate areas for pets and non-pets and pets are absolutely not allowed, even walk-throughs, in the non-pet areas. I let my cat out one evening and received a note on my windshield in the morning. Despite the apparent non pet-friendly atmosphere, I enjoyed the park and would visit again. It's ten minutes from Tucson and convenient to everything in the area, including the national parks. Some of the sites are fairly tight but mine had tons of room and privacy.

This place is an RV park in the winter and a water park in the summer. It was oddly interesting to see the guts of an empty water park in November. It was a good base camp for Saguaro National Park and the Sonora Living Desert Museum (we loved this museum). The sites were level gravel and we did not feel overly cramped. Very easy in and out for our 30 ft class A. There was no one in the office when we arrived, but self check-in worked fine. Their rules tell you not to run electric heaters. Certain areas are pet-free. Another visitor advised us that the voltage was low but we did not measure a problem. There was construction near-by when we visited (another RV park is being built right next door), but it was not much of a problem. Sometimes a wait to get to the individual self-contained bathroom/shower but it was clean and private when you did. Small dark laundry. We'd stay here again if we were visiting Tucson in winter again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has the snowbird facilities( pool, crafts, library,etc. but all dated) for a nice enough visit, plus a great location on the east side of Tucson BUT, it's way overpriced, especially for an older park. And of course, 90% is park models and trailers.At least most of the RVs are grouped together, though a long walk from the clubhouse and all the good stuff. Prices run from $35-41 daily and $205-245 weekly, then they sock on a 12% tax PLUS a $1.50 a day charge that was never explained. They give you a big booklet about the park and Tucson, don't tell you much in advance (like how to use the locked pedestrian gate at night), and send you away. Ask for an escort if you want help backing up; streets are narrow for big rigs. W & E hookups are on wrong side of standard sites. Power is WEAK- my 30 amp was woeful, so used adapter for 50amp ,which still spiked often and got barely 110v on hot days.Shower room okay except showerhead is very low; you have to stoop down a foot to get your hair wet. Large, busy laundry room. Residents seemed quite elderly and not particularly friendly. Office staff somewhat brusque; they don't really care about RVers. There are better ,cheaper places to stay unless you need to be on the east side here . We camped here in a Motorhome.

Gilbert Ray is a Pima County Park and is located south and adjacent to the western Saguaro National Park in the Tucson Mountains. This campground puts you in the middle of beautiful Sonora Desert full of saguaro cacti, mesquite trees, Gila woodpeckers (the ones that nest in the Saguaros), hummingbirds and great views of the Tucson Mountains looking east. It’s a great campground and locale for exploring this fabulous area. The campground has electricity only (no water or sewer at the sites). However, each loop has several water spigots and restrooms (no showers on the premises), and there are dump stations as well. The campground roads are all paved and each site being gravel, so dust is not a problem. The cost is $20 for RVs and $10 for tents. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our second trip to Gilbert Ray. Stayed for a week last year and liked it so much we decided to return this year. Most of the other reviews are right on. If you have ever wanted to camp in the desert, this is the place! One morning we woke to 3 coyote at our campsite. What a treat! We also heard coyote almost every night. My father-in-law has been coming to Gilbert Ray for over 20 years and not much has changed – And that’s a good thing in this case! The views and sunsets from the Campground are unbelievable, and even more dramatic if you travel up to the look out at Gates Pass. Also if you travel over Gates Pass there is a new big shopping center with an Albertson Grocery Store. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Old Tucson are must stops. We also took a day trip to the Prima Air & Space Museum, which was well worth the time and money. I would have given a higher rating if they would have a playground or play area for kids. There is not much available at the Campground for children. . I also agree that the closing of A Loop is frustrating. You may want to make sure you tie down your awning as the wind can pick up pretty good in the afternoon. Verizon Wireless card worked OK for internet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A little off the beaten path so do your shopping before arrival. Some of the access roads are a bit on the narrow side with some dips, so the trip in was a little slow. The campground is beautiful. Paved roads with gravel sites. 30 amp hook ups only. No reservations and 7 day stay limit. Gilbert Ray is located within Tucson Mountain park which adjoins the western section of Saguaro National Park. Close by are the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Old Tucson movie studios. Lots to do in very close proximity. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the most beautiful option for RV camping in the Tucson area, set amidst the amazing Sonoran desert of Tucson Mountain Park with plenty of Saguaros. There is a 7-day limit. It is a short drive to the MUST SEE Sonoran Desert Museum, and the west section of Saguaro National Park. Ignore the directions to get to the park via I-10 to I-19 if you are coming from the Phoenix area. Use the roads from the Marana area exits instead. Note that RV's are not allowed on Speedway over Gates Pass, but once you are situated and can drive your toad or truck, that is a scenic shortcut into town. The camp has nice spacious sites with picnic tables. The most scenic loop is Loop A, but our experience is that they keep that loop closed until the other loops are full, which just drives us crazy. The best sites are around the perimeter, but most sites are fine. Larger rigs (over 30 feet) will have much less availability and selection. Hookups are 30 amp electric only. There is a dump station available and a water fill station. There are restrooms but no showers. Several taps are scattered around the park, so you may be able to fill up at those, but you cannot remain connected. We camped with friends here, and they were given a hard time. People complained that their dog barked inside their RV when they were gone and left notes on their door. Then they got a citation for putting bird food on a cactus, and then a lecture for leaving bird seed on the ground because a camp host once had a problem with pack rats when they left their coach vacant for a month. In contrast, we dealt with very helpful staff in the Visitors Center, which is only open during the peak winter season. We can recommend L'Il Abners steakhouse in Marana for amazing and reasonable ribs and steak, and the Tucson municipal golf course Crooked Tree near Marana which is very scenic, well kept, challenging and only $18 in off-peak times, one of the best values we've experienced for such a course. We loved the tram ride/hike up Sabino Canyon (no dogs) and riding our bikes around the Cactus Forest scenic loop in the east section of the National Park (also no dogs). The closest wifi was at a library about 20 minutes away on Ajo Pkwy. A great supermarket is Food City, Basha's Mexican-oriented market, across from the library. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a true desert campground in a beautiful setting. Most of the site are well spaced. The park has paved roads with gravel sites. Some sites can handle 40 foot rigs (maybe half). Electric is 30 amp. water is available near many sites. Many sites can reach a water tap with 100 ft of hose (you can hookup to fill, but can not remain hooked up). There is a large dump(2) station and separate water station(2). This park is on the west side just south of the Desert Museum and Saguaro National Park (West). Tents are allowed, some sites are tent only, but there are no showers. It is remote from shopping or restaurants, but the location is beautiful and so is the park. If it had full hookups it would be a 10 in my book, but you have to love the desert and be willing to do without the pool and other typical campground amenities. This part of the desert is full of Saguaros. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is out in the desert and has trails all over the desert for walking. Very peaceful at night unless you are out in the front row like we were told to be. The rocks in the front border on being large boulders and make the sites very uncomfortable to use outside. Our small dog had problems walking and would refuse to walk in the rocks. We were next to the highway, and the traffic was steady most of the night. It really picked up at 6 AM for people going into Tucson. The campground does NOT have any bathrooms or showers. You must use your rig for all services. In our travel trailer that becomes somewhat of an issue, as our bathroom is small. The Wi-Fi was there, and I could connect, but there was no internet available. It was like the router wasn't connected to the access point. We did not have a connection the entire time we were there. Some of the folks close to the office did connect to a secondary router that was on a desk, but we were too far away to even see it. Questioning the owners wife was futile as she knew nothing about computers, and insisted that all was working fine. They only accepted cash or a check, no credit cards. I paid for three nights but pulled out after two as we were not happy without a bathroom or the internet. This could be a nice park with minimal improvements. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Loved this park! Landscaping was great. Off the beaten path. 12 miles west of downtown. It was just far enough out of the way of the big city, had a country feel about it. Quiet! Friendly residents. Self registration was a breeze. Simply filled out a small sheet of paper with some info, enclosed a check, picked my space, and put it all in an envelope in their basket on the porch. Never saw the owners once. The sunset behind the mountains was breathtaking. I really enjoyed staying here. It was nice to stroll around the grounds with my dog in the evenings. As a single female traveler, I felt completely safe there. Sites were spacious and I was able to pull my 36' rig with tow dolly & SUV right into my space with ease. Park is easy to navigate large rigs. I would definitely recommend this campground. I would like to return there when the weather cools. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Passport America rate is a good reason for staying here. I would not stay at the regular rate. We paid an extra $2 for a site that backed on the BLM area…lots of scenery and birds. The laundry was immaculate and reasonable. However, their wi-fi kept cutting out and contrary to an earlier reviewer, our Verizon card was not reliable at this location. The sites are very unlevel, and the large gravel is a sprained ankle waiting to happen. It was hard to find anybody in the office, and our bat wing antenna got poor reception on only a few channels.

This park just opened and is in a beautiful desert setting in far west Tucson. Some sites back to BLM land with spectacular desert and mountain views. It is very quiet at night and the night sky is awesome. Sites are large, gravel with some pull thrus and some back-ins. Streets are paved. There are no restrooms or showers. There is a small laundromat with new machines very reasonably priced. We loved this park and our only complaint was the huge gravel the owner put on all the sites--it is a hazard to walk on. Activities are planned for the next winter season. The owner is trying to sell park models for set up in this park, something we hate to see happen. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This new park is still under construction, with sites still being developed. There are paved roads. The sites are rock that is hard to walk on, be careful. Most sites are very wide and there are trees between many of them. This park is about 10 miles from any shopping, but backs up to the desert so there are plenty of walking and hiking opportunities. The laundry room is small, with only one little table for folding clothes. There are 8 washers and 8 dryers. There are very limited recreational activities now, but they are building a putting green and a pickle ball court. They take checks and cash, no credit cards. We would stay here again.

New park, still being worked on. Wide paved roads and large sites, with heavy gravel base, not comfortable to walk on.

This new park is yet to be completed. Sites are roomy, level, with a (large) gravel base. Roads are paved, an advantage when the wind blows. Views are expansive and there are extensive, well-marked hiking trails out the back of the park into Tucson Mountain Park. As this is the high season in Tucson, PA rates are not honored now, but daily ($20) and monthly $395 to $440, I think, including electric) rates are competitive. A laundry room is available, but lack of restrooms/showers and pool may be an issue for other campers. This will be a lovely desert park when it is complete and the plantings mature.

Nice park out of the city by the Desert Museum and Old Tucson Studios. Long, wide, gravel sites. It is a fairly new park so it is under construction in the back but it doesn't bother you at your site. We belonged to Camp Club USA so we were able to stay for $10.00 per night for 7 days. Owners were friendly. Laundry room clean. Only 6 washers and 5 dryers. Advertised WiFi but it was not available. Verizon air card worked just fine. Closest shopping 6-8 miles away but if you want to sit down for a week, it is a nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our first week here was $77 based on Passport America Rate. We liked it so much we stayed an extra month. There are no washrooms, showers, pools, hot tubs etc. There is a laundry and a clubhouse. Library not set up yet. This park is brand new. There's rarely anyone at the office at this point. Sites are huge with paved roads although sites aren't paved. Sites with view more expensive. Fairly close to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Park located west of Tucson off Ajo Highway. We tend not to use the extra amenities that's why I gave it a high rating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a decent RV park of about 165 sites surrounded by lots and lots of mobile homes. There are a few shade trees or you can be in sites with no trees if you need satellite. Sites are level and the staff was friendly. Watch out for the major bump coming out of the registration parking lot. I would have rated this park higher except for two things. The air force base and the national guard base fly a lot of planes and the park is about a half mile from the Tucson airport. Also, this park is definitely in a poor neighborhood. There is a wall about 4' high that runs along the park and next to a major through street with lots of vacant and poorly maintained houses along the street. I do not feel as safe here as I would if it were sited elsewhere. We will probably try another park when we return to the Tucson area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This 55+ park is on the edge of the Indian reservation off I-19, accessed by a 2 lane road which has good/poor pavement but adequate. The interior roads are paved (with annoying speed bumps) and the sites are back in and graveled with a concrete patio and picnic table. There is no cable TV, but few trees to block satellite TV. They have Tengo wi-fi and a dial-up modem in the nice clubhouse. Air cards work well also. The absolute main drawback is the Air Guard flies F-16's from the end of a nearby runway. Early morning multiple take-offs will definitely get your attention! That is the reason for my low park rating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park whose main drawback is its isolation at the south end of Tucson. However, there's no fat taxes to pay, and the $28 Good Sam daily rate is reasonable. It would be quiet down here except for the planes flying over from the AF base and city airport. Pretty indoor pool and spa, various classes. Efficient front office staff and parking crew to escort you to a back-in site on gravel. Dog walk area in dry wash, good laundry facilities. No cable tv but antenna works fine. Tengo wifi extra, of course. A decent place to stay and a better value than some other RV parks in area. Also good to see the RVs together, away from the mobile homes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed at the campground to attend a drag race, so the noise wasn't a problem for me. The fairgrounds are surrounded by multiple racetracks, shooting range, model airplane field so there is a potential for noise. As mentioned in other reviews this is a good overnighter without much in the way of services. On the weekends the RV office is closed so it is on the honor system. Since the office was closed there was no way to get access to the WiFi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I'm not reviewing this as a resort destination but as an overnighter or a place to hookup, do your laundry, go grocery shopping, etc. The area we were in had pine trees and a grass field. There are hookup sites in different areas of the fairgrounds, some with shade and others out in the open. We found this to be a great stop over and have used it as such in the past. Most of the rv parks in the area are over priced this time of the year and we never use the pool, club house or any of the other facilities. The water pressure was great, power didn't fluctuate and the site was relatively level. Shopping wasn't too far away and I like the book exchange in the RV office. We found the lady in the office to be very friendly and helpful. We will continue to use this as a pit stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Fairgrounds are quite large - they have some full hook-up sites, some with water & electric only, and of course, some dry camping. The fee is $20/night for full hook-ups, and a weekly rate of $100, so if you’re staying for 5 days, you might as well stay for a week. Overall the place is typical of fairgrounds – not the cleanest, but reasonably priced and easy access to area attractions. They do have free wifi, which works on-and-off.

We stayed here two nights over a weekend while we visited friends in the south Tucson area. Parking here was a pleasant experience for us as there were no events going on this weekend, therefore I'm giving a 3 rating. However, if there are any kinds of events going on, particularly drag racing, this has the potential of being a very annoying place to stay. The sites are just spots in a large dirt field but relatively clean and level. We had full hookups, but many sites are just water and electric. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Since there were no events going on, we had full access to the entire fairgrounds which was nice for carefree, quiet walks with the dog. If we'd had bikes we could have of ridden all around the large complex. Before considering camping here surf to www.pimacountyfair.com to check on events. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a good choice for anyone looking for a less expensive alternative to the private parks in Tucson. Sites are located at several different areas of the fairgrounds. Our site was #160, one of about 100 at our location. Sites and roads are gravel, level and big rig friendly. It is really like a big parking lot. The fairgrounds is a multi-purpose facility. There were drag races (noisy) while we were there, but it was quite by bedtime. There was also a livestock show. There are few amenities. That didn't bother us since we don't use pools, laundrys, showers, restrooms, playgrounds, etc. It is conveniently located on the southeast side of Tucson. From I-10, Exit 275, go one mile south on Houghton Road. Turn west on Brekke Road to the RV Entrance. Watch for the signs. The telephone number is 520-762-9100. We will stay there again when we are in Tucson. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place was a joke. The man behind the desk didn't have any money to make change. He said we could pick up our change in the morning. Together we came up with the correct funds. The electrical connections were past their prime. My husband cut his hand opening the box. Basically this was pretty much a dump. There was a strong sewer smell.

We stayed here for three months and would not recommend this park. We had $1000 worth of bicycles stolen with cable cutters from our front yard and the police refused to come because it was too small of a crime for Tucson. The sewage treatment plant sends a horrible odor into the park if the wind is blowing right. The train and highway noise is constant. The spaces are cramped. I have had two neighbors lose major appliances after plugging into the parks electrical system. Also, there is no security and this is not a nice neighborhood. The positives are the place is cheap and I have great neighbors. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stopped here for a couple days while checking out some of the sites around Tucson. The staff was friendly and helpful (except the late night clerk when we checked in). The bathrooms were very clean as was the park in general. The location is just off the freeway which is a blessing and a curse. There is the constant noise of the traffic, but the worse part is the trains. Every hour day and night a freight train cruises by on the other side of the freeway and blasts the horn as it goes through an intersection. However if you have played hard during the day, then you can sleep right through it. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is clean and the staff is somewhat friendly. The sites are like being packed into a sardine can. You are informed by staff and signs, that if you are assigned sites in the middle of the park, you can not open slides, have grilling, chairs or anything out side of your rig. Sites are too narrow. Also, they have the nerve to charge for WiFi. What's up with all of these parks that are so cheap that they nickel and dime us to death. Get with it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed Oct 2005 - Jan 2006. Nice park but the train crossing noise is sometimes unbearable. The trains come through every 20-30 minutes. The park is also downwind from a sewage treatment plant that needs updating. The odor is unmistakable. Location is convienient to most everything in Tucson. Park is clean and well maintained. Spaces are a bit close together, but not bad. Management is unfriendly, but the women in the office are nice. Summer monthly rate was $295 +elec, winter $450 +elec. I would probably look for somewhere quieter next time I'm in Tucson. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overnight stay, easy to find, paved roads, gravel site, plenty of room for slide, a bit tight for backing 30' TT, pull thru site reserved was not available on arrival. Friendly snow birds all around. Didn't hear any noise from freeway. Would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one of the nices parks I've been in. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Wide sites are great for those with multiple slides. The pull through sites are long enough to accomodate a long wheelbase tow vehicle with a long trailer and still have room to spare. Very family oriented park but suprisingly quiet, even though it is next to the freeway. Easy access to and from the park on the north end of the city make this an ideal place to stay. Will make this park one of our must stay places. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is not out style. Sardine can is how the place is packed. It has beautiful facilities, but if you like views and space forget it. If you have a dog don't come here. All dog walking is outside the park. This park is for people who want to stay a while and do crafts, etc. If you don't have pets and just want to see the local sights it would be okay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a 55+ park located on the east side of Tucson near the Pima Air Museum (off I-10). The staff were very friendly and accommodating when determining where to place our rig. We were originally assigned to a site in the back of the park (due to our Camp Club USA discount?) but when the volunteer saw that it would be a tight fit, we were directed to the front of the park where there were several open spaces (we could also take our dog out the front gate and not need a key as required in the back). Each site has a palm tree and street lights are frequently spaced. A nice stone table and benches are at each site. Mostly park models but also many trailers and motorhomes also. A gated community and very quiet. Lots of activities available; we were invited to attend the Christmas dinner. We will return to this park and their friendly citizens. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice park with the usual amenities. If you are looking for a long term stay here you will have to consider the loud noises from both commercial airlines and military aircraft (loudest). They only have one pool, and the exercise room equipment is old, and not well kept. The annual rent here is high enough to support better accommodations. The Wi-Fi IS NOT free. You are in Pima County and will be subject to 50 cents a day for Tucson's Stadium Tax. This Stadium is a local failure with no teams wanting to call it home. Visitors of this area that do not have AZ Plates will pay this fee. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our site was not level and our front wheels were off the ground and our bottom step was 20" from the ground. Although the campground was almost empty we were were not allowed to extend two week rate for three extra days for week rate. Spas not opened, or closed early. Machines in laundry not repaired for days. Trash only picked up once a week. Exercise room not opened on time. Tengo internet not working again and could not get refund. City of Tucson and state taxes were $75.23 for 14 days!!!!!!!! Most love this place, and I don't know why? We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a quiet, secure 55+ park that is maintained in excellent condition. It offers a wide array of activities and comprehensive facilities. The very large pool is maintained at 84 degrees and has a handicapped-assist-chair. There is a large seasonal community of park models. A small percentage live here year round. The park is divided into pet and non-pet sections. We have stayed here off and on over the past eight years. As the years have passed, the average age of the people staying here has increased. This park is beginning to take on the appearance of a retirement community. The WiFi is provided by Tengo Net, and we find our connection being frequently dropped during peak usage periods. It is also maddeningly slow. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Large park with lots of park models and long term residents. Clean and fairly quiet. Some noise from the airport and AFB. Gravel sites with concrete patio. Not much shade so make sure your A/C is in good working order. Facilities are immaculate and staff are very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for a week. This park caters to the park model owners. Very clean and a lot of activities for the regulars. We were place in the area with the park models and it was very difficult to back in a 40' MH as the streets were very narrow. We stayed there because of the advertised WIFI. We checked in and the first thing they said was that the area we were staying did not have very good reception. Asked if we could get a better site and was told no. They told me the main antenna was on top of the check in building and the park models blocked the signal. I took my laptop over to the library which was right under the antenna guess what no better signal than where I was parked. Talked to one of the locals and she advised me the WIFI was terrible all over the park. The park was very clean, very little noise and the people living were very nice. Would not stay there again as I need internet access as I work some on the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We rented a park model for 3 weeks in January. This park is a 55+ park. Not sure about the rules for having kids staying in the park. Rates vary by season and daily rates vary from about $34 to $45 plus tax per day for a parking space. I believe they may run specials at times. Approximately 3/4 of the spaces are permanently setup park models. They have some park models for rent. RV sites are level with few xceptions and can accomodate the largest coaches and 5th wheels. There are 3 laundry buildings, 3 exercise rooms, meeting rooms, park post office, library, etc. etc. Tengointernet WiFi is installed and not very good. Response time goes from bad to worse and reception is very spotty. Rates were $4.00 per day, $15.00 per week, and $30.00 per month. There is free plug-in high speed access at the laundry buildings. They have controlled gate access. When we were there in January the park was just about full of snow birds. Many activities are available, at least in the winter months. If you can't find some activity here that trips your trigger, then you must not be interested in very much. There are 2 hospitals near by and lots of shopping. There is a casino about 15 miles away on I15 south of Tucson. We will be going back this coming winter in our motorhome. We camped here in a .

I only went in to check out the parks prices and was greeted by a very rude receptionist who looked like she was only in her 30's. After asking her a few questions she rudely stated "55+ park" so we couldn't be there. And very rudely answered our question about bringing in a 3rd person with a no with no reason why. I had to ask her all the questions because she wasn't going to help us otherwise. There were a few people walking around the office area that were not over 55. I never saw anything on the park being over 55 only. This is discrimination and very rude. I would never recommended this park to anyone, especially since they are rude their when you just ask questions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park was clean. Staff and neighbors were friendly and helpful. It was easy to find and conveniently off the freeway about 1/2 mile. Plenty of shopping around: Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, restaurants within a mile. Tucson Mall is about 5 miles away and easy to reach. Lots of trains and you could hear them clearly night and day. Spots are fairly level, but you should check your rig. Big problem with this park is that, while they say it's big rig compatible. It's not. I saw several 40 footers work at getting into the spots. My 36ft 5er and 24ft truck just barely got in. Just about all the pull throughs and many of the back ins had power service posts, phone posts, and water pipes bent over from being run into. You get a nice little cement pad with a picnic table, but in some spots the corner of the pads were broken from being run over to get into the space. We'd like to stay here again, because of convenience to everything after being in the boonies for a month, but wouldn't with our big rig. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The Park location is good. But it is about 1/2 mile from the freeway and trains. You can hear traffic outside the RV but train horns are heard inside. And there's a lot of trains. It is an older park. Be sure to check the power before plugging in. (my first site had an electrical problem and i moved to another site) The park does hire professionals to fix these type problems when they hear about them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although close to the freeway the noise was not excessive. The staff was very friendly and helpful even assisting us in maneuvering to our site. WI-Fi was good although it dropped a couple of times but, they were glad to reset it when advised it was out. There is a large desert area just outside the park for pet walking. We did not use the pool or laundry facilities but the looked clean and neat. We were there for a week using our Enjoy America membership and will return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very inconvenient to get to was my first impression and then 2nd impression was that it was a very tight fit for our rig - in fact - we could not push one slider all the way out due to size of space - Staff was very friendly and helpful in getting us spotted but had to move some big ole rocks when we left to get out of the park. Older park - needs some TLC and updating.We only stayed 2 nights but would not use this one again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very good value for Tucson. Office staff nice but busy; location handy to Tucson. Be sure to see park website for driving directions due to I-10 construction. Gravel sites, fairly level, some long pull-thrus. Small pool and cramped laundry room. Park should do more recycling than cans, since Tucson offers full recycling. Nearby dusty construction project is done, and I-10 expected to be finished early 2010. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wi-Fi (reasonably fast) only for the lucky who can get the signal inside trailer. Otherwise, go to "computer room". Friendly management. Clean park. Very quiet. A bit dusty because it is next to a construction yard or because it's in Tucson. Very near I-10, but still quiet. Close to town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Small park just off I-10. Limited access due to I-10 construction. A lot of seasonal folks but well kept park. Good laundry facility, nice clubhouse and pool. Management and staff are wonderful...very helpful and cooperative. Biggest downside is the construction just to the rear which increases the dust two-fold. We camped here in a Motorhome.
