Winter in Arizona - Tuscon to Phoenix corridor

The Palms in Casa Grande. Very upscale.

Winter dust storms? Nah, maybe a freek. IMHO, no worries.

Any particular reason why you want to be between Tucson and Phoenix?

Keep in mind that the only major town in that area is Casa Grande and they get horrific dust storms because of all the cotton farming in the area. We were in one in December and driving it's the scariest thing you'll ever encounter. Semis plow right into one another and other vehicles.

There are plenty of resorts in the greater Phoenix area and Tucson. I don't think I'd zero in on Phoenix itself but there's Mesa and Apache Junction to look at and they're all connected. The Phoenix area is huge but it's very easy to get around and there's so much to do there. Tucson is much smaller and a more laid-back western town.

BS I was there last winter starting Thanksgiving and our park had NO DUST STORM. The Picacho Peak area gets the dust storms you refer to. Please be accurate and quit scaring people for no good reason

Check out www.cal-am.com. Any of there AZ parks have tons of activities and NO - you won't have to drain your water!! One park is in Yuma, one in west part of the Phoenix valley and the rest in east Mesa.

Our park (Mesa Regal ) last season had a majority of Canadians!

We like fiesta Grande, in Casa Grande. Lots of Canadians there mostly from west coast. Los of activities, 2 heated pools, Hot tub, plenty of activities every day. Close to shopping in fact ALL shopping less than 1 mile away with most within 1/2 mile.
See http://fiestagrande.org/ for the resident web page with a link to the resorts web page.

If your bored here it is your own fault. By the way the laundry facilities are fantastic, machines will call your cell phone when they are done. If you decide on fiesta grande PM me before choosing a site for some tips on getting a good site
