Best Winter RV parks in Arizona

We stayed at Voyager Rv Resort(Tucson) Jan-Mar this year and liked it because they have a lot of activities and the people were very friendly. In some places we've stayed the park model people were not friendly to the rv people. We like to stay somewhere that has a separate rv area, not mixed in with the park models, it's just too hard to park. Voyager has all, park models by themselves, park models & rv's mixed, and a separate rv only area. We met a lot of people last year and everyone on our row is coming back.

"Any of the CanAm resorts are excellent and first rate"

Probably a misspelling - try www.cal-am.com for larger active parks in Phoenix/Mesa area.

"RVparkreviews.com is a great place to narrow down your choices. Then come to this forum for more information to make a final choice. In all the years we've been a member of this forum, we've never been led astray."

I agree about 98% (nothing is 100% with me!) with that statement from Thunder Mountain. There have been a couple of times info was sketchy at best so took a chance and was burned. Different people tend to look at things a little differently or priorities are different. And depends if an overnight or a week or so. Our standards drop for an overnight when in the middle of the boondocks.

But your question is AZ. Let us know your needs / interests and we are (mostly) all willing to help you. Do you want a big city with it's advantages and disadvantages (Phoenix is the 5th or 6th largest city in the U S)? Do you want a nice private rv park with full hookups and amenities or boondock in the wild (kinda doubt that if you are new to long term travel - but not sure).

Help us help you so to speak.

In the Phoenix area the best parks are Maricopa County Parks; Usery Mountain, McDowell Mountain, etc.

is a good place to start, and if you don't like those try www.rvparkreviews.com

x2 We always land at McDowell first for about 10 days. Besides loving the place, if you are delayed by weather, you can get a refund. Some of the big, fancy places we stay at don't give refunds for short notice cancelations.

We just made our reservations for McDowell in January. While we did get our first choice, we were surprised how many of the sites were already reserved. Drove up to Usery last year to check it out. Absolutely beautiful, except there were too many cactus for our cactus stupid dogs.

Closed own? Not at all. We spent a week at Butterfield thee this summer. But i is a little higher elevation and a little cooler.

Has Benson closed down? That was the prevalent place to be . Look at Cochise village there.

For your first time we would recommend you not make reservations for one park for the whole season. Move around and test out different areas. What someone else likes may not be what you'll like. The popular cities for the winter are Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma, Parker, Havasu City. Don't go above Phoenix as it will be very cold. You'll find 'resorts', plain RV parks, state parks, Phoenix and Tucson have some nice county parks, and Yuma/Colorado River areas have lots of boondocking spots. Good luck!

We live near Tucson and would recommend LazyDays or Rincon West here. We also jump over to Yuma and The Palms is a fantastic place. All are FHU nice places.

This info gives us a starting point..Thanks

We will be going to Cocopah RV and Golf Restort in Yuma for the ninth straight year. It is a GREAT place to winter even if you don't golf.
