My fiancee' and I sold our stuff and bought our RV to see the country. Now that we're nearing the end of the trip we need to settle down and look for a place to stay while we seek employment. That part is easy... the settle down part isn't!Looking to stay for around a month. Plan is to get jobs, put the RV up for sale (:(), and find an apartment.Reading reviews for Phoenix-area RV parks leaves me in a daze. There are many conflicting reviews or some places with no reviews at all!Covered Wagon (Yelp, google with 7 reviews) seems to be in a bad area of town but the park sounds nice. Management worries me though; especially being a younger couple from Massachusetts. Desert Sands doesn't have many reviews. trip advisorDesert Shadows doesn't seem to have ANY reviews except one that says its a 55+ park (isn't listed as such) and they had to pay the WEEKLY rate because they were younger.Anyone have input on this? We'll be arriving in a few days!

Look at the website "Good Sam RV Parks" or buy the Good Sam RV Parks from Camping World. If you can't find the information or description you are looking for, the RV Park probably dosen't exist or chooses not to advertise in the Good Sam RV Parks. Personally, I do not stay in RV parks that are not listed but this dosen't mean that there might be some RV Parks not listed but still would be ok!Tell us the general area in Ariz. you are looking at and we can give you some recommendations.I just typed in Chandler and about 15 RV Parks showed up in the Mesa area. Chandler dosen't appear to have any RV parks in that specific area:)

Eagle View @ Ft McDowell, Usery Mtn @ Mesa are my first two choices.

Since our home is our car till we sell her we're on bicycles and public transportation so we need to be in the thick of it! Phoenix area, Chandler... that's really all I know though. I'm sure there's good and bad areas but I've only visted the Valley twice!

Several years ago we stayed at Pueblo El Mirage golf and rv resort. Look it up on rvparkreviews.com

Given your circumstances and the need to rely on public transportation, I would search around for an RV Park in the Mesa ,Tempe or the Scottsdale area. Although Scottsdale can tend to be a pricey area. Type any one of these areas in the Good Sam RV Parks web site and you will get quite a few choices.

Going to Phoenix for a while, mixed park reviews! Help!

We're not partiers or anything like that; just a very quiet young couple with two kitties :)

Unfortunately our age and the age of our RV gets us snubbed by many. Luckily we've found nice people along the way!

There are a few RV parks that are not 55+ in the Tempe/Mesa area that front on the light rail. Mesa is a big town with lots of Rv parks, if age isn't an issue.

Sounds like Mesa is where we'll be! Found a job there I could fit in perfectly too. Now to see if they like me! XD
