Best Campgrounds near Eloy, AZ

Great campground centerally located to Phoenix and Scottsdale. Was only planning to stay 2 nights but ended up extending my stay. Full hookups and laundry/showers in house. Also have a cute patio area to hangout as well as a clubhouse with WIFI. RV park backs up to a park with a coded gate so easy access to playground/big grass area for dogs. Park is fully fenced with gate. Very clean and well kept.

I booked online at like 4:30ish (their office closes at 5). The gate codes for entry and club house were in the confirmation email as well as the manager called me at like 5 til to confirm I had codes and everything I needed to get it - so appreciated! Manager was also very friendly also when I asked for recs and about extending my stay. Have weekly and monthly rates on top of nightly ones. Would come back.

We really wanted to like this park. It had some nice features, but elements of it were rather alarming.   

First of all, It's not a resort actually, but rather an unsecured clean rv parking area with hookups and mostly level gravel sites with concrete patio pads. There were only a few sparse trees throughout the property and nothing for shade on the sites. There were no park models, and there were only a few permanent residents. It was mostly transient travelers, which was fine during the high-season, but there was no sense of community at all. 

The park had absolutely no security whatsoever. Strangers wandered into the park at night to use the main dog park from off the noisy main road, Meridian, which the park was located on. We heard of a dog attack related to a stranger coming into the park with their animal. There were no park employees on site in the evening, night, or early morning hours. The amenity areas were all located behind locked key pad entries for a reason. 

It was supposed to be an age-restricted park, but nobody seemed to follow the rules. There were teenagers staying there who had absolutely nothing constructive to do to occupy their time. 

There was a nice pool, a small library, a laundry facility, community bathrooms with shower stalls, and an absolutely tiny fitness room. There was a separate building with a pool table and cornhole.

After dark, the park became something odd. Most people never ventured outdoors. There were occasionally dances that took place in the main amenity area, but other than that, it was practically a ghost town. After management left for the day, all park rules went out the window. Strangers coming into the park. Dogs running around unleashed or tethered outside to trailers. People staying in a hauler, literally like a horse hauling trailer. There was even a police helicopter search where the target of the police search was hiding in a parked vehicle in the park until the police gave up. In general, we felt a bit of unease at night knowing that there was no one even monitoring the property, and there was no security gate. 

Management was a myth. We never once saw the actual park manager. This person stayed in their office and never came out and had zero interest in their guests. The woman at the front desk was quite efficient, but management was non-existent. 

We really tried to make do with the situation at this property, but we can not recommend it, particularly for older people who are more vulnerable to random crime, nor shall we ever return.

Beautiful and spacious campsite ---oh my goodness!! My fav spot ever to this date after a couple years of semi-retired dispersed camping. We almost didn't go on--there's a UTV staging area right off the road, & we pulled in, unhooked, and filled the rocky bumpy road, determing, Mike-the-RV can do this if we go slow. He did!!! Best site ever ...first one to the right after the rocky up and down hill. Spacious. Trails from the site. Beautiful! Our 43-foot RV did just fine as Kevin went super slow and carefully steered the best route up the road. Worth it!!!
