Do you want to boon dock or full hook ups?
City or rural?
Hiking?
heated pool? - Mandalay_ParrExplorerThere are soooo many. North south east or west?
Send for a visitors guide. - BfleishellExplorerWe are looking for a resort type full hookup. Not sure just were in the state. Reasonable in price. Like golf. And seeing the sights willing to travel about 2 hours from camp sight to see the sights. This will be our first time out for 3 months we are from PA
- rv2goExplorer IIYuma, AZ will most likely be the warmest.
Lots of RV parks.
Also lots of private lot rentals in the Yuma Foothills.
and don't forget...Quartzsite, AZ - USAFBILLExplorerGold Canyon East of Phoenix, Canyon Vista RV Resort was one of the ones we enjoyed several winters
- Mandalay_ParrExplorerMaybe somewhere in the Phoenix or Mesa area to start. Central location.
Try Lake Havasu City, Parker, Quartzsite or Yuma on the west side.
Also Tucson and Casa Grande areas.
Buy an RV park directory and start making calls. Should get a reservation soon.
It's a popular winter area.
Call me if you wish.

602-321-8141 - DSDP_DonExplorerI would pick two cities at opposite ends and book half your time at one and the other half at the other. This way you could make two large sightseeing arcs from each base camp and see pretty much of everything, since this is your first trip.
Make the first city, the farthest west, so you can hit Quartzsite in January during the big RV show, around January 20th to 29th. It's something every RVer should see once in their life. I wouldn't camp there, but be able to drive there for a day or two. - J-RoosterExplorerOne thing that you should consider is elevation! Grand Canyon to Flagstaff 5,000' to 7,500', Phoenix to Tucson is 1,500' to 2000' Bullhead City 900' to Yuma 400' It does on occasion get very cold and Bullhead City to Yuma gets 33* to 35* when the Arctic cold comes down especially if you don't have a well insulated RV. Lake Havasu City has many RV Resorts they range from $375.00 per month to $600.00 The Arnold Palmer Golf Course (The Refuge) is around $1,000.00 to RV there for a month. Just North of LHC up on the hill, there is a BLM Free Area, but your stay there is limited. The Parker Strip RV camping is $300 to $500.00 in most places. Lake Havasu City, has 5 Golf Courses, and about 5 more a hour North from Needles, CA. to Laughlin, NV. and there's Emerald Canyon GC South of LHC about 1/2 hr. drive in Parker, AZ. LHC also has the Worlds biggest fireworks show in Feb. it goes for 6 hours, In Jan. they have the Hot Air Balloon Festival, and a great Christmas lighted boat show in Dec. and I think the Blue Grass Festival is in March. I'm not into Bluegrass Music, but became a fan of Bluegrass when I attended that event. The promoters had 5 of the 10 Bluegrass Bands in the U.S. playing when I last attended. I really liked the Box Cars. Good Luck

Look at Casa Grande, AZ between Phoenix and Tucson
2 nice parks there. I travel from New York State to there every year.
Fiesta Grande where I stay is a full resort. Swimming, dances, cards, woodworking, gourd making, horse shoes, hiking club, 4 wheeler club, you name it we got it.
The other is Palm Creek almost same amenities but more up scale ($$$)
