As subject says, we want to stay in Yuma for a couple of weeks next winter. Lots to choose from in RVparkreviews.com, but we always like to ask here before making any decisions.Here is our profile and requirements:Good fenced dog park for three sheltiesFull hook upsHot tub and pool if possible, exercise room optionalLarge level sites, paved preferredAT&T service for hotspotWe have our own satellite TVShould be convenient to grocery etc.We don't mind large, well run RV resorts with mix of RV and park models, medium to upper price rangeSuggestions for what we enjoy doing:We are hikers, walkers, double track mountain bikers, moderate off road JeepingLove good museums and occasional good dining

Three dogs, three cats? BLM land. Just kidding. Many have a two pet limit. Country Roads and the Palms on the high end. Any park in Yuma is near all the things you mentioned. I live in Yuma but never stayed in a park. Lots to choose from. November is busy, make a reservation.

Sooo many choices....Yuma Palms is probably the newest, perhaps the most well appointed RV parks, and may have short stay spots available...but remember, winter is peak season....call ahead.RegardsGemstone

Went to their website. Kind of reminds me of the place we stay at in Gold Canyon. They definitely play by the rules. More rules than the HOA where we lived. Might give them a call. We are veteran snowbirders. So we know about making reservations.

An old friend of mine is the Communications Director of Yuma County, and he RVs!! I have posed your question to him and he said he will get back to me in a little while. I will post when I hear back from him.Bruce

There are a lot of private lots in the foothills that people rent. Normally they can have 2 RV's in the lot, but the nice thing about them is that they are normally all fenced in with brick walls and gates. That would be great for your doggies. While we have never rented one, we have visited friends who do and they are very large and spacious and offer FHU's. We love the Yuma area because of the weather and we enjoy the historic areas. We like the Phoenix area and the surrounding area for the amenities; but unfortunately, we cannot tolerate the reduced air quality one finds there. A week is the longest we can stay. And it's much more crowded than Yuma as well. To each his own.

Well that would pretty much eliminate Yuma. I understand you've booked for a month. Good luck. We spent a week in Yuma and that was about 5 days to long. Only took 2 days to find most of the geocaches.

We really love all of the museums, good shopping, good/great food/ access to mountains, streams, and deserts, art centers and concerts, and all of the rest of things that make our winter stay great in Mesa.

Bruce,

I did speak with Kevin. He was very helpful. Thanks for the connection. We settled on The Palms RV Resort for a month.

Another one to consider:

Del Pueblo

We spent 6 winters there and enjoyed the easy access to desert crawling, Imperial Sand dunes old mine sites etc..

Nice clean park with lots of amenities and large sites.

I did call them. Said three dogs were ok. That time of year we will have to stay for the whole month of February. Just hoping there is enough hiking and biking to keep us busy. Researching that now.

Try looking at the lots in Sheckert Estates. It's on the southeast corner of the Fortuna Foothills and nestled up to the Gila mountains. I spent three months there this padt winter and began all my hikes from home. Never exhausted the hiking potential. Also, the Muggins mountains are close for variety. And the lots are nice, with facilities. Don't know about pet rules, but imagine it depends upon the owners prefs.

"Just hoping there is enough hiking and biking to keep us busy.".....there will be plenty to keep you busy for 30 days....or longer.

Cool. Thanks! Looking forward to your post.

My friend asked that I give you his cell phone number so you can call him, because there is just way too much information on great places to stay in Yuma for him to just write to me and then have me give that to you second-hand. I asked him if he was sure he wanted to do that, and he said he would love to talk to you -- he loves turning people on to all of the great things to do in Yuma.

So, if this is something you would like to do, let me know and I will send you a PM with his name and phone number.

Let me know.

Bruce
