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!
