Suggestions Wanted for Park in Casa Grande, AZ

[ralphnjoann]

We're looking for medium priced ($400-$600 per month) park. We want to stay there during Jan and Feb of next year.

Saw where the temps in Eloy/Casa Grande will be in the 100's until September. We love the area in the Winter but could not live there year around.

Hot enough in Reno during the summer....even at 4,400'.

we did not notice a cow smell last winter at Casa Grande. Traffic north of Casa Grande plus shooting's kinda makes us feel better where we stay but life has changed since 2008 and who knows what can happen. Nice to be in at night .

We do not smell them either as the one near town on Jimmy Kerr closed.
On the other end the one near the mall closed because of the Phoenix Mart that is supposed be built.
No smell at all last winter

We've been 'wintering' in the Casa Grande area for a few years and last winter it was the Silverado in Eloy ($350 plus electric at .015.

Looked at Sunscape but to tight and many park models which we don't get a real good feel for...like a trailer park for rentals and permanents.

Silverado is about 11 minutes South of Casa Grande...not a real long tiring trip as suggested. We found good dining in the immediate area, and other sight seeing things to do, but still made the long trip (remember about 11 minutes) to Casa Grande for additional choices.

Mesa?? Been there and don't prefer all the hustle and bustle that you will get in the Phoenix metro-plex.

Eloy is only a short trip from Tucson and Phoenix (been to both) if you want to be in the 'big cities'...we don't.

There's also a nice state park called Picacho Peak between Casa Grande and Tucson. Electrical hookups but no water hookup; you'll have to fill up instead. Casa Grande is about a half hour away if you need groceries. I often stay there.

Thanks for all the suggestions. We are both fairly laid back so Silverado and Sunscape sound good. The plan is to try Silverado first and if that doesn't work, we'll go for Sunscape next.

If you like it quiet and out of town in the country click here.

Stacey would the Silverado on I-10 near Eloy fit their needs?

Silverado is in itself a nice park, seems well run and clean, only Eloy has zero, zip and nothing close as far as real shopping, eating places and activites that being closer to town would provide. If being out of town that far with so little close to do is what they are looking for I would suggest Silverado.

just thinking that time of arrival could be full maybe. I guess they will call for a reservation.

A lot of people seem to like to be in the middle of no where AKA Casa Granda! Silverado was only $350 a month last winter! Noise for I-10 is an issue. Chris

Any particular reason to go to Casa Grande? There's a lot more to do in Apache Junction or the Tucson area.
