- Me_AgainExplorer IIIWe have toured Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort in Casa Grande. It is a very large park as Larry has noted. It is a beautiful park with nice amenities. It has a high percentage of park models and is ran in a very structured manner by on site park management. Seats in some of the craft shops are "owned" by regulars! "Sorry that is my spot!"
Dust storms on I-8 and I10 in that area can be very dangerous. Here are a few tips. http://www.tucsonnewsnow.com/story/2168129/safety-tips-driving-in-a-dust-storm
There are also stock yards in the area and the associated aroma that go along with them.
Retail shopping in the area has increased a lot in recent years.
I hope you enjoy your stay as so many others do like Larry and his wife who have been returning for many years.
There are so many choices in the greater Phoenix area that makes it so that there is not one best choice. I asked my parents why they returned to Yuma year after year and they said because of the "friends" they met the first winter.
Enjoy your stay!
Chris - 2gypsies1Explorer IIIJust be aware that the area gets some horrific dust storms. They had one today. We got caught in a couple during winter traveling from Tucson to Phoenix. The area is cotton farming so there's lots of dust.
- darsbenExplorer IIConvenient location close to everything you need.
- larry_barnhartExplorerWe have visited Palm Creek since 2002. We must like it as we plan to be there again in October. #564 is our site so come and see us if you come. I don't think the resort has ever been 100% full because it is BIG. Over 3000 palm trees to trim and it is being done at this time.
chevman - netjamExplorerIt won't be full. Nice place. Look for specials....Usually first timers (or those who haven't been for 2 years) get a smoking deal.. In 2012/13 we got a month for $189. We had been before but not for a few years. They do tack on a bunch of ridiculous fees (garbage fee, electrical meter fee etc) just be aware.
