RV parks in Arizona

We stay at Desert Gold about 15 miles east of Quartzite. If you are into golfing or have a dislike of ATV'S it's not the place for you.We like it as it's far enough from Quartzite and we are into ATVing. You can Google them and their address is Salome.

I like the earlier suggestion to vary your locations for your time in Arizona. We live 25 miles north of Tucson and travel throughout the state in our 24' Class C. Yuma is a hole on a good day and they don't get many, nothing to see or do there but it is warmer than where most folks there come from.

For southern Arizona Tucson and or Benson are good locations to enjoy the weather and take maximum advantage of all of the amazing places to explore. I would do at least half of my time in those areas before moving on to Parker, Havesu or Flagstaff to enjoy the northern half of the state. Southern Utah and New Mexico also offer many opportunities to explore and enjoy.

In the winter months just watch your elevation as Arizona can get get very cold, which, I assume is what you came here to avoid. Arizona is an awesome location for RV'ing and you can enjoy it year round. Throw in all of the history and natural wonders that abound and it is hard to imagine not being here .

As always.... Opinions and YMMV.

Yuma and Quartzsite is not where you want to go if you want to do some sightseeing and Quartzsite has no real redeeming value at all other than the 10 day long "RV Show" (bunch of peddlers in the desert) in January.
I would suggest that you look at areas around the bigger cities of Phoenix or Tucson if you want other things to do than are available in the park you select.

We 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

Look in the GS RV park search application and type in towns from Phoenix to towns west about 30 miles. Typical rates for a 3 month stay are about $900+ per month. The longer you stay the lower the rate. You need to need to make your reservations a RV site for Jan. to March in August. From Dec. though March is the high season for Ariz. Thousand of "snowbirders" from back east and Canada flock to Ariz. March is also Spring training for baseball games. Yuma is cheaper but would not be my 1st. choice, hot, windy, dusty and not much to do for sight seeing.

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 ($$$)

We are close to the cities but out in the country.

One 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
