First of all Picacho Peak is NOT a destination place but a place to visit and take in some of the ambiance and history in this area of the SW. Like visiting Tombstone, Bisby, Benson, Katchner Caverns, Nogales...and the list goes on.
If traveling 5 miles to stock up on food, fuel etc. is to far for some so be it. :h
Food Town IGA is a full-service grocery store with an on-site butcher shop, bakery and deli in Eloy. Link to store.
If one wants the big box stores, more choices for dining, a Regional Medical Center then Casa Grande is only 18 miles N on I-10. Oh, and there is plenty of things to do in Casa Grande and the area surrounding. You don't have to stay cooped up in your rig or the clubhouse where you stay.
Someone mentioned dust storms...good gracious. Dust storms are all over the SW and South...it's desert!!! :S
One year driving through the Phoenix area we encountered a dust storm...we still go to Phoenix.
To the OP: With all that said enjoy your travels and Picacho Peak could be one you'll enjoy.
