Ok, I grew up Snowbirding with my parents, HATED Florida, Did a couple nice winters in Tucson.Now 30 years later my wife and I are becomming Fulltimers and I want to Winter in Az. probably around the Tucson area.We are both Disabled Veterans but still young and can get around fine however, we are in our mi-d 30's and early 40's.Here are My issues;Would the 55 and over resort/campgrounds let us in?Can anyone with some Az. experiance point us in the right direction for the winter (Dec.-Apr.). Thanks, Gregg

Hello and thanks for your service Take a look at Palm Creek Golf and RV in Casa Grande AZ.Look at our web sight .We are a 55 and over park but we are required by state law and Fed law to have at least 10% under 55 . If you want more info.Send me a massage. We have been going there for 10 years. Hope to hear from you.

Palm Creek is a good one. Watch for deals that give newcomers a better rate. Last year it was 189/mo. You can use the discount deals every second year. In Tucson we like Voyager...lots of activities and amenities. Tucson area has lots more to do/see than Casa Grande but is a touch colder. Have fun....

Just east of Tucson, out by Vail, is Cactus Country RV Park, a pretty nice park.

Keep the advice coming, Thanks!!

Another great one is just South of Tucson, De Anza Rv Resort in Amado, http://deanzarvresort.com/. We have friends that stay there the entire winter and other friends that stay a short while as they travel further South into Mexico.rocmoc n AZ/Mexico

Palm Creek is out, we got an e-mail back from them that our Age is beyond thier "flexibility" Guess they figure we would be too loud or something!

Well I guess my money will find somewhere else to go.

The previous post about DeAnza was a great idea. I go there for Jan and Feb. My brother is a camp host there. They have everything including wifi, cable, easy access for the physically challenged camper. The place is large and very clean. Just 30 miles south of Tucson on I-19. A beautiful view of the Santa Rita montains. Check it out.

Drove North of Tucson to get to Apache Junction.....a lot of sand but not much else. If you go further north it gets very cold in the winter.

The Desert Trails looks decent, the reviews say the sites are small, but we can deal with that.
I'm not ready to deal with the Firearms issues on the Military camps yet, not going to register my stuff.
Some of the suggestions looked nice but we really are not prepared to spend a home Mortgage every month on site rental.
Who has 850 bucks a month to pay for lot rental? I plan on spending that on lot rent and food and beer combined.
I did mention I was Retired and we would be living on 1 income.

If one of you is 100% DAV, check out the military campgrounds in the area. There is one at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, and another near Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista. Try this site for more information and contact info:

US Military Campgrounds

Safe travels!!

I have stayed at Davis-Monthan it was pretty nice. Have not been to the other

If you a bit warmer weather come up to one of the many RV resorts in the East Valley of Phoenix. We love our Cal-Am park in Gold Canyon. Chris
