We wintered for several years at Desert Trails RV park. You will love the place. It has a lot of activities and is a wonderfully funky place. However, it is 20-30 minutes from downtown. They fill up in the winter but I think late Nov would not be a problem.
Lazy Days KOA is probably the most centrally located park and is beautiful but spendy.
...and right next to Desert Trails is Justin's Diamond J where we spend a couple of months each winter. The sites are larger than Desert Trails, and as with Desert Trails, you can hike/walk/ride several miles of trails directly from the back of the RV Park into the Tucson Mountain Park. Also close to Saguaro National Park West, the Sonoran Desert Museum, and several other places on the west side of Tucson. I'll also second Catalina State Park. It's a bit further out of town, but the campground is great, and the scenery outstanding. Much to see and do in the Tucson area, and I'd recommend you make a stop at the Visitor's Center to get some good advice. They sell a passport book there that gets you a lot of BOGO's and discounts for most of the more popular sites. Well worth the money.
