The RV park itself is o.k. but the area is really not attractive. There are so many nice things to do in the greater Phoenix area (60 miles away just to reach the southern edge) and also the Tucson area, that spending a long period of time in Picacho would involve a lot of driving and very long days. It's not a place to see Bisbee or Tombstone from or Patagonia/Nogales - just too far. That's what I meant by being 'remote'.
Here's an interesting article on dust storms in the Picacho Peak area. When the Phoenix area gets the storms, many originate from Picacho Peak. It's a cotton farming area and the land is scraped so there's nothing to hold down the dust.

Some people value remoteness much more than being by a city or a tourist location, we do!
