Help with place to stay in Tempe during show

Here's the backstory:

Did the Tempe' festival of the Arts in 2013 and stayed at Tempe Travel Trailer Villa...it was bad, very bad.
You can read about our stay here if you choose.

I will find out if I got into the show tomorrow and will need to make some reservations for December 3 - 5 of this year. We normally boondock but urban camping is not allowed during the show. I checked out boondockerswelcome.com and the closest person is 8-9 miles away (would prefer closer). We will be traveling in a class C 25 feet long with no toad.

Our needs: QUIET (no barking dogs, no latin music, no drum banging...not a lot to ask I think)...we will be at the show all day the three days and just back to shower/sleep in our rv and gone the morning of the show (staying the last night after show somewhere on our route home)...3 nights. We are quiet; need AC/electric. no slides, no awnings out, probably not even chairs since we will be too busy.

Options: a quiet park in tempe', boon docking with electric in someone's driveway,
or any other reliable ideas.

Please help us find a quiet place to stay in tempe while we work.

  • White Tanks Maricopa County campground is very nice. They now have some electric sites.
