The Palms RV Resort in Yuma

Hello Folks:
Will be heading down to Yuma this winter for the first time. Have looked at RV Park reviews and also Good Sam to try narrow down the options.
I was wondering if anybody has any personal experience with The Palms RV Resort?
Also how about the Las Quintas Oasis and the Shangai-La Resort? I seen where these two are close to I-8 which may have more highway noise.
We don't have any pets so that's not an issue. Would like a park that will have exercise ammenities and GOOD space for the 5th wheel and my truck. Don't want any "sardine" parking parks.
Your actual personal experiences will definitely help.
Thanks in advance.

    Hello Everyone:
    Again, thank you to everyone for their replies. Much appreciated. It's all good advice for a person.
    CardinalRule, sorry for the previous miss spelling of your name.
    almcc, can you elaborate on which parks you have stayed at while in Yuma?
    We have been to Yuma before, but just in the car and moteling for a couple weeks at the longest. I realize that 4 or 5 months is going to be much different. That is why I am looking for a park that has activities, fitness, hiking, will let me clean and polish my truck/trailer, good sites and good neighbors, etc.
    We like a place with shopping and still not to big; like the much larger cities; with reasonable traffic. I also couldn't be where there was nothing to do or see. Just to sit around the trailer/ park would drive me crazy. Anyway. that is myself.
    Keep the replies and experiences coming. With that hopefully I'll find something that is darn close to what I want.


    No problem with the name spelling. Most parks have the requirements re: activities and vehicle cleaning. For the most part be a good neighbour and others will respond in kind. Anything above MINOR vehicle maintenance is frowned upon in most parks. There are lots of hiking, trail riding and golfing, clubs in Yuma with members in most parks. Just watch the bulletin boards. Most parks have a variety of exercise options including aerobics, aquasizes zumba, excersise rooms etc. For me it came down to a park with acceptable sites.

    We stay at Fortuna de Oro when we go through Yuma on our way west, it's in the Foothills and convenient to the highway. We've also stayed at Westwind and we've visited friends in other RV parks as well.

    One other piece of advice, a number of the parks have a mix of park models/mobile homes and spaces for RV's, a couple of times when we reserved we got placed between 2 mobile homes, very tight as it was an older park and the mobile homes took up the complete sites on each side of us. Ask about that if you are reserving.
  • We were there in 07 or 08 when they had been just open for a week. Nice but we were the only one there with maybe 10 other RVer's. Was a nice place
  • We stay at Del Pueblo RV park. It is on Avenue 3E, about 3 miles south of the marine base. This is our 3rd winter at this park & we really like it - big sites & lots of activities.
    It was sold in August & the new owners have put in new pickle ball courts, which are great. There are also bocce courts, volleyball, tennis courts, shuffleboard, 2 pools & 3 spas, water zumba, golf leagues & lots of card games. The monthly rate here is $680, with lower rates for 3, 4 & 5 month stays. We do get a some jet noise but haven't found it to be intrusive.
    The park is surrounded by orange orchards, which seems to decrease the dust when the wind blows.
  • Have stayed at Country Roads rv.Resort . I believe their sign said top rated rv park in Yuma.
