Looking for the perfect place to winter

Pretty funny - huh?

Hubs and I have been wondering around AZ for 7 years during the winter looking for the perfect place for us. Closest thing we've found to our liking has been around Boulder City, NV but I still think there is a secret gem out there for us. Something out of the way. Need groceries but not much more. We love to hike, golf, ride the bikes and walk the dog where she can be off leash without bothering anyone or getting to highways. We don't really need a bunch of amenities. Just a clean park with a good laundry facility, cable, and WIFI. We want to stay out here in the west so NV, AZ, CA. Anybody have a place like this they would be willing to share?

    Just east of Quartzsite is a small town and you can rent a site for about $1,200 a year! Most stay only a few months out of the year, but leave the RV there all year long while they return home in the summer.

    You will be close to Quartzsite and plenty of open BLM land to wander around. Not many local golf sources, but that is something I never looked for anyway.

    Have you been to Bisbee? Lake Patagonia? Tombstone? I have been to all these places at Thanksgiving over the years.

    Some full timers like to hold up in Ajo. It has plenty of space! Not a whole lot else though. . . . .

    You could try a few 'free' sites here, and then splurge on 'expensive sites' when you have saved a few bucks on the free ones.

    FreeCampgrounds.com

    It helps to have a solar system while dry camping. SunElec.com

    Good luck!
