50s Diner Backseat Bar & Motel RV Park

Half a mile northwest of Cordes Junction, this RV park operates alongside a 1950s-themed diner and motel complex directly off the highway. The facility accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Sites are spacious but utilitarian, designed primarily for overnight stops rather than extended stays.

The location puts campers next to a gas station where commercial trucks frequently park overnight. Miquel K. notes accessing "the clean motel bathroom and showers" as a camper benefit. The on-site restaurant serves standard diner fare, and a cocktail bar provides evening entertainment. A Dollar General store sits within walking distance for basic supplies.

Reviews mention occasional water service interruptions and inconsistent WiFi availability. The park stays busy, particularly with travelers using it as a highway stopover. Road noise from the adjacent interstate is constant. Pets are welcome, and the facility accepts reservations year-round.

For those needing a quick overnight spot with full hookups, expect basic amenities rather than a destination camping experience. Book ahead during peak travel seasons when the RV park fills with highway travelers.

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.
