Decent and Cheap

I knew I was coming to a place that wasn’t a destination park, yet I was still shocked by all that was lacking. The spots are spacious, have electric and water, (when working). No WiFi, I was told. This is fine for a stopover, but nothing more. You are right next to a gas station where trucks pull over to sleep. I felt like I was staying in an afterthought or poorly planned place.

Great restaurant! Easy access to highway.

I’ve parked my camper van here over several weekends. It’s mostly geared towards RV and van parking. Location is convenient for highway access and visiting nearby Arcosanti. The 1950’s style diner has good food. As a camper, I appreciated access to the clean motel bathroom and showers.

Our little spot.

Backseat bar is a great place to have a few cocktails. The restaurant serves up good food at a reasonable price. RV park seems to stay full,, soooo something is going good there. We love it, hope you will also.
