Recommend Phoenix destination and route from Wisconsin

I hope you have two Air Conditioners and can park in the shade.

I would guess that if you called and asked, since it's during the summer they'd let you stay. They will have plenty of empty spaces.

If you stay far north then driving in every morning for your conference is not going to be fun with the traffic.

You might also consider this family-type park:

Might want o park your coach in Camp Verde or Flagstaff for the 3 days of the Convention, stay in a hotel by the Convention Center, then head North.

There is some killer riding in Sedona, and Stoneman Lake area. It is still going to be bloddy hot up there during the day, but at least it cools off at night. If you stay off of Stoneman Lake road, or Gooseberry Springs, you can take the rzr or quads up for a nice day ride at 8000 ft elevation, and watch the elk herds in the aspens.

Don't forget, you will need a permit for riding up there. It is a huge fine if they catch you without one.

This is what I was thinking. Riding elsewhere farther north and stay in a hotel during the convention. Thank you everyone.

DO NOT take Bush Highway this time of year on the weekends.

Val Vista Village in Mesa has some long pull through spots that would work for you. Get to I40 what ever way is easiest. In Arizona exit at Holbrook and go through Payson to Rt 87 and follow that into Mesa. Turn left on Gilbert road and you are pretty close to Val Vista. Even if you don't stay there the Payson route is the best way into Phoenix in my opinion.

X2 We just took that route last (2015) spring to Lost Dutchman, VERY nice route, in fact we stopped at the Walmart in Payson for staples before setting up at LD. That was a beautiful drive, I hope to repeat that next spring. :B

Nothing in the Firebird area. Usery Mountain Regional or Lost Dutchman State Park would be good.
