DO NOT LOCK IN ONE RESORT NO MATTER HOW HIGHLY RATED FOR YOUR FIRST SNOWBIRD! Now that I have yelled, AZ is a big place with many wonderful places and resorts. We are on year 5 of a multi-month snowbird. We have yet to stay in one place more than a month. Next year we are branching out to Indio, CA for a month. Suggest that you use this forum and rvparkreviews.com and select 3 or 4 resorts the first year.
These come to mind from our experiences: Canyon Vistas at Gold Canyon; Palms Resort, Yuma; McDowell Regional Park, Fountain Hills; Desert Trails, Tucson; Lazy Days KOA, Tucson; and Distant Drums, Camp Verde. These will give you a slice of local life and attractions as well as interesting resorts. Each location and resort has its own unique qualities.
Some people drink coffee, others tea and still others beer. What you like is not necessarily what others like! Some are loners and others are social animals. Loners tend to drift around a lot while social animals tend to stay and build relationships with other snowbirders.
Not everyone is the same!
BTW the OP said "I have never done this before that is booking a place for 3-4 months in one area."
Again to OP, you can not go wrong with Canyon Vistas RV Resort in Gold Canyon.
