I imagine the close by areas will be expensive and perhaps closed camp grounds etc... Look at the APACHE JUNCTION area or around the several RV places there. Great camping under the superstition mtns and the infamous Apache Trail...
Also some great places in the Casa Grande area and south of Maricopa town called JOHN WAYNE RV ranch... You are not in the PHX metroplex here at all and Interstate for getting to work. It might be to far away tho however...
Scottsdale and all the West area of Phoenix are where all the richies live...
South and East is where you may find some good extended deals... The high country where it is alot cooler all start just a few miles North of Phoenix... Sedona is a beautiful place with all the Red Rock formations but on the richie side of life..
The Phoneix side of the high country like Payson and Prescott are great places to camp but probably too far out for you...
I'm betting you will have to find places in the Mesa - Chandler - Apache Junction areas. Lots of stealth camping there I bet - Lots of transit folks in the Valley of the Sun...
Type in 'RV CAMPGROUNDS' in google map search and you will find bunches of camp grounds everywhere...
