Youthful 55+ parks in Arizona
My senior dad used to joke that the definition of “old” was always ten years older than he was. So if I ask a 75 year old if a park with an average age of 77 is full of old people, he’d probably say ...

I didn't think Green Valley would fit your profile, but it is a very beautiful desert area with nice people.
This OP topic has come up every year about now, but I think it might have some bearing on your last statements. I believe that the new retiree's don't want to RV, just too much work with a certain amount of hardship thrown in for good measure.
Right now I'm hunkering down an extra day in upper TX just to let rain and high head winds pass. This morning when I left LA I fought heavy fog. The morning before that fog caused a huge pile up on I10 east of Lake Charles. So far I've had zero problems, knock on wood.
The nice park I'm in tonight is $54/night. The Comfort Suit with free breakfast in town is $67/night. I guess what I'm trying to say is the WWII "can do" but prior to the internet retirement lifestyle is a dying breed.
You may never find what you're looking for when it comes to RV parks because they are fading away with our parents and aunts/uncles. I don't think any of them ever heard the term all inclusive or Google search. Not many new retiree's that had nice homes care to live in a tin can on a 35 foot wide lot no matter how expensive the RV paint job is. That same money can be used in Google searching for adventures/experiences all over the world.
Like you I'm not trying to stir the pot, just trying to find the next fit. After 10 years of being a mobile RV snowbird, I'm ready for the next chapter and FOR ME it does not include bingo, cards, dulcimers, pickle ball, excessive drinking, or square dancing in a compound setting with clean bathrooms. So yes, I don't have a clue what I'll do when the RV tires need replacing.
Hope you find your park. Never been to Palm Springs, but I heard that was a good area from younger RV retiree's. What little I saw of Yuma looked like the WWII retiree lifestyle.
