- amandasgrammaExplorerActually...there's a "The Palms" that is "new" -- not sure how new. Yes, it's still there as of last month. Our friends stayed there and we visited them at the park.
- KOExplorerA nice park but a bit on the expensive side. They have concerts there often during the snowbird season but it seems they are trying to "sell" th elots vice renting overnight.
But yes they are still there. - Thunder_MountaiExplorer IIBelow is the review I recently posted on RVparkreviews.com. The monthly rate was $1000 plus $146 for electricity. While in Yuma, we cruised numerous other campgrounds. Many had way too little elbow room or were near the Interstate or train tracks. There are lots of choices in Yuma. It just depends on your expectations and pocket book. We'll probably go back to The Palms next year but for only a couple of weeks.
This is probably the nicest RV resort in the area. It is more expensive than some of the older parks but you do get what you pay for. Every imaginable amenity. If you like to participate in activities, it seems there are multiple things going on every day. Grounds and facilities are immaculate. Staff is friendly. The Park is a mix of owned lots and rental lots. The owned lots don't have cookie cutter park models. Everything is built on site. Some lots have a storage shed only, other have a small sleeping casita with washer/dryer, others have small two bedroom homes. Not sure of the demographics but it seems that more than half of the owners and snowbirds are Canadian. Everyone we met was very nice. Nice fenced, grass dog parks and other grassy areas for walking on lead. The community is gated with access cards and has security that makes the rounds twenty-four hours a day. We stayed a month which was enough for us. Not much hiking or mountain biking. Lots of great Jeeping out in the desert. The local fresh vegetables and fruit are cheap and flavorful from local roadside stands.
Yuma is the place to get anything for your RV or anything done. Had residential frig install by Family RV. Visit Territorial Prison Museum, Quartermaster Museum, Yuma Proving Ground Heritage Center, Kofa NWA and Picacho SRA. Jeeping - Valley of the Names, Skull Rock/Queen Canyon, Big Eye Mine, King of Arizona Mine and MacPherson Pass. Hike Palm Canyon. Go to Los Algodones for quality glasses at 1/3 the price and cheap prescriptions. In Yuma eat at the La Fonda Tortilla Factory and El Charos.
