Nice 40+ Campground

This is a nice 40+ campground right on the edge of Saguaro National Park. The sites are gravel with full hook ups. I had plenty of room to maneuver my 19’ travel trailer. They have planned activities -at least in the winter- which is nice to see. There seem to be a lot of long term guests here and they are very social with each other.

Great RV park for exploring Tucson area

So many amenities, awesome staff, clean, everything worked as advertised. Wifi was a little spotty from our site, just a few tv channels with antenna (no cable). Laundry, showers, TV lounge, food trucks, entertainment, etc.

Nice and neighborly

We stayed a week while taking care of some business in Tucson. Nice place full of snowbirds. People very friendly. Lot's of activities and clean showers. A little too crowded for my taste. Good value for the price.
