You mentioned Scottsdale which really isn't a RVers paradise. If you want the greater Phoenix area go over toward the Apache Junction area. It's a lot more pleasant than Phoenix, Scottsdale or Mesa.

Agreed with another poster above that if you're up to moving after two weeks, you can't beat the Maricopa County Parks' campgrounds. They are beauties. There's Lake Pleasant, Cave Creek, McDowell Mountain and Usery. They have huge lovely sites. Also consider Lost Dutchman State Park at Apache Junction. You won't find better scenery anywhere else in the area.

Reservations are now a must for these parks in winter as the word has gotten out that they are jewels. Good luck!

With snowbird season upon us, it may be difficult to find a location to stay for an extended period of time in the greater Phoenix area.

In the Scottsdale area is Eagle View RV Resort on the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation. The RV resort is on one side of the highway with a casino on the other.

If you don't mind the lack of full hookups (water and electric only), there is McDowell Mountain Park which is part of the Maricopa County Park system. There is a two week limit which would force you to move. There are however several parks to choose from. All have a dump station.

Cal-Am resorts in the Mesa area might be another option to try.

Well, if you come to Yuma, there's lots of choices for RV parks.
