"We stayed in late September and had no neighbors next to us so we felt like we were in the desert. There was no direction that had a bad view."
"It was an great way to be exposed to trails I may not have chosen on my own."
"Fantastic park for seeing the stars and getting away from Phoenix city lights."
"Located at about 203rd Avenue, on the westside of Phoenix, in Waddell Arizona is a tiny little Campground with phenomenal views."

"We stayed two nights at the Willow walk-in sites (W10). Despite our campsite being close to the bathroom it exceeded our expectations. Campground is well organized with friendly staff."
".
- Trails throughout the camp into the greater park but the campgrounds separated from the more public trailheads."
"RV camping on big water in Arizona! We have stayed here a couple of times. Make sure to book a spot up on cliff overlooking the water. Great sunsets. Free shuttle to haul kayak to boat ramp."

"Right next to the commissary and AAFES. Bathhouse is excellent. Laundry is free."
"Concrete slab to park on and rocks around instead of grass."
"Numerous campsites available in an area along State Road 74 and New River/Lake Pleasant Roads, at least 2 or 3000 acres with hundreds of establish campsites."
"Recommend black canyon city for laundry and hiked on the black canyon trail."
"This was a major travel destination for RV’rs and campers passing through, or staying for a while in close proximity to Phoenix. Major disappointment."

"An oasis surrounded by fields. Clean restrooms, pools, grounds, roads, sites. Nice folks working there. Refundable $20 deposit to get bathroom key. Did not use laundry. Stayed 3 nights."
"The roads coming into the site are narrow and people sometimes have their vehicles parked in part of the roadway which makes it hard to drive your RV around to park it or leave."
"We arrived after the office was closed, but they had our bathroom keys and paperwork ready for us in the box outside the office."

TravelerNice open campsite approximately 2 miles from Crown King on Senators Hwy. Lovely forest with boulders and views. One of my very favorite camps.
ScoutIt’s mostly flat we tucked up behind a tree but it was closer to the road so we did hear the road often. There are also train tracks that pass through but the train rumble wasn’t too bad
ScoutNothing on website said gate closes and can’t get back in after 9 pm.
GuideYou wouldn't know it on your drive from the freeway to this KOA, but it's a pleasant, well-run RV / Cabin/ Tent campsite. The sites are spacious, hosts friendly and informative. There's a pool and jacuzzi, a number of machines in the laundry, and the showers have doors.
ScoutHad to stay there a little longer than we wanted because we had a motorcycle in the shop that we had to wait for repair. Close to shopping and anything we needed it was great
ScoutFantastic quite only a few people here. No one bothers you. Lots of spots available.
ScoutUnfortunately, the state has closed this area down. Brand new “No Motor Vehicle” signs installed. This was a major travel destination for RV’rs and campers passing through, or staying for a while in close proximity to Phoenix. Major disappointment. I gave it 5 stars because that’s what it was when open.
RangerGreat 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.
