We have been in Yuma, AZ. for the last 16 winters. The "season' that typical snowbird parks like to refer to is mostly Nov.1-March 31st. Depending on what you want or amenities wanted it can start at approx. $350 a month on the seasonal deal or climb to unknown limits. Then some parks run deals Sept-Dec. on lower rates, than the rate jumps for Jan-March. We like to watch the parade of RVs leaving New Years Day when the rates take a significant jump. Power is mostly 18 cents KWH. Another option in the Yuma area is privately owned FHU lots in the Foothills. They are not in an RV park but in residential areas. It will usually be the owner on one side of the lot and the renter on the other side. Some provide washer and dryer use. There is usually no mark-up on power, just paying the meter reading. They generally start at $350 and you pay the power. We were in a park for 13 years, then bought an RV lot in the Foothills. Be careful with parks. Make sure they are 55 plus parks. Some parks in the Yuma area have flirted with that by allowing border wall workers in that are under 55 plus. But I will add, this winter probably will not be typical. If the Canadian snowbirds can't get across the border and some northerners decide not to come, RV parks may have to adjust rates and property in the Foothills owned by our Canadian friends, there could be a fire sale. Time will only tell.
