So How doe's the snow bird thing work? Do you just drive out in the dessert and park is there places to stage the RV is there places that have hookups that you pay to stay there. What is the cost of RV parks I am new to this and will be doing it maybe this winter. Just looking for options that are out there. Thanks
There are some places where you can boondock in the desert, but you have to be careful where you go. You can encounter illegal border crossers and drug smugglers in the open desert. Not only that, but you can easily get stuck in sandy arroyos, encounter dangerous wild life and flash floods in low lying areas. There are many RV parks that cater to snowbirds in Arizona. Many of them give discounts for extended stays. You can check out their websites or give them a call and they'll quote you a rate and let you know how long you need to stay to receive it.
