Snowbird park recommendations?

Hello everyone! I was wondering if I might find some help here. Thinking of snowbirding this winter with my family. We are young-ish (40-50) and have children. Looking for some rv park recommendations. Southwest US area. A pool And warmer temps are a must. Green, lush environment where you can walk to stores outside of park. The closest "type" of park that we have stayed in is Las Vegas Oasis park. Are there any similar that anyone can recommend?

  • Thanks for the suggestions! I will look at each one. We are thinking after the holidays for a few months. We are located in Idaho, so CA, NV, AZ, UT, NM, and maybe TX would be the more likely choices. I know the southwest isn't known for "lush". I used that word because in my searches I see a ton of gravel and concrete lot spaces. I was thinking some palm trees and bushes would be nice! We do not pull a car behind, so would be spending lots of time at the resort. So activities for everyone and close to stores is important. Warm weather is crucial.

    I have been surprised at the number of parks that don't allow children, or even anything other than a class A..... we have a new 32 foot class c, and I can't leave the kids home! It would be nice if the resort welcomed them, rather than limited their enjoyment of the facilities. They are well behaved!

    Go to Good Sam RV Parks application on the internet. Pick the cities/towns/areas you might be interested in. i.e. if you select Phoneix, the app will list all the RV Parks in that area. Then just go the web site of each of the listed parks to help you pick out the park that meets your needs and requirements.
    Because some RV parks have certain restrictions i.e. 55yrs. or older, no children, min. length of RV i.e. 28' or more, RV's 10 yrs. or less might require an inspection by staff(they just don't want RV's that are not taken care of). This is a nice way of saying "they don't want junky RV's in the park".
  • The Rio Grande Valley of Texas is greener and warmer at night. Americanna near Palmview and does not have age restrictions
  • Golden Village in Hemet,CA.(priced about like Oasis, more pools, ball courts etc and more walkable to stores than Oasis)
  • Southwest US is a HUGE AREA. You need to be a little more specific. Also, a lot of the RV parks will be 55+ and do not take children. Green and lush are not SOUTHWEST. This is a desert area, from mid-Texas all the way to San Diego. Why not look at state parks or country parks for a week or two at a time and see what is available.
