Yuma foothills area?

Best RV parks are about 8 miles east of Yuma. You would be near a freeway. There is a Walmart close by. Other choice is south close to Yuma where you have lots of traffic noise and worse heavy jet noise of low flying aircraft. We stayed south of Yuma and hated it. It was also our first Yuma trip. In addition the RV parks south are older and spaces very small. More like trailer parks that squeezes in a few RVs. We drove out and looked at RV parks east and will be staying out there next time. JMHO

There are a lot of RV spaces for rent in the Foothills by individuals. The lots are large enough for 2 maybe 3 RV's. The owner generally stays on one, rents the other. Some will have a casita with a washer and dryer. Rent starts about $275 to $350. depending if utilities are included.
Find them on Craigslist. Google the area in satellite view and you can get the layout out the area. Most all lots will have a wall around them. Real private.

A lot(maybe most)of the RV parks in Yuma have noise. Check out the quietest one in Yuma, which is Cocopah RV Resort. We have stayed there for the past 10 seasons. We think it has the most "bang for the buck". It is QUIET. PM me for further info.

We really want to experience one of the nicer or newer rv parks with scheduled activities for our first visit. It sound like we will want farther out of town....

Come check it out first! Get a weekly some where, then go look for yourself. To much from A-Z to not look. Was your Wal-Mart burned down completely?

Since we haven't yet experienced an Rv resort, we think we want to try one this time.
I am afraid to just wing it in February.

The Walmart with the fire is the one by the mall & not the newer one on South hill. The one with the fire is in need of refreshing anyway....

It's pretty hard to get away from most noise as Yuma is a close to the border and that creates more air noise especially at night from helicopters flying patrol.More noticeable in the south east foothills on the private lots.I found it interesting but some didn't.

We did the Foothills for the first time this Jan/Feb, we were on a private lot shared with friends. The commercial parks with activities seemed to be huge and most near the freeway. Overnight temps in the 60s for Feb. are nice. We arrived after Christmas and we did have a light frost on night, like we had in Graham Tuesday night.

Since the Marine Corps Air Station is located SE of Yuma, there will likely be noise from fighter jets anywhere in the area. A lot of helicopter traffic, too. (I happen to like the scream and roar of an F-16 but not everyone does. ;))

I love the sound of our boys flying the jets over us. we always look up and watch them. it sounds like they are in the lot with you.
