RV parks typically don't have a lot of space around you. That's why we prefer public parks and in Arizona you have some very nice choices.
Tucson - Gilbert Ray campground in Tucson Mountain Park
Catalina State Park
Greater Phoenix Area - Maricopa County Parks - Cave Creek, Usery, McDowell Mountain, White Tank, Lake Pleasant. Also Lost Dutchman State park east of Phoenix in Apache Jct. is a real winner.
All the state parks in Arizona are great.
All of the above have huge sites. Many have electric and some even have full hookup sites.
The only downside is that public parks typically have a 14-day limit. However, it's a good chance to test out different areas.
