Best Cabin Camping near Goodyear, AZ

82 Reviews

Cabin accommodations around Goodyear offer varying levels of comfort and amenities depending on the property. Mesa-Apache Junction KOA provides small single-room cabins that sleep up to six people but lack private bathrooms. Destiny Phoenix RV Resorts in Goodyear features cabin rentals with full hook-ups and access to clean restrooms, pools, and laundry facilities. Most cabins include basic furnishings such as beds and small tables. "We stayed in the cabin and it was beautiful! There are parks or playgrounds for the little ones, the area was peaceful and clean, the cabins are clean and affordable," noted one visitor about their stay at Carefree Manor.

Several properties maintain cabin rental options year-round, with air conditioning essential during Arizona's hot summer months. Pleasant Harbor RV Resort offers waterfront cabin access with proximity to Lake Pleasant for boating and swimming activities. Leaf Verde RV Resort in nearby Buckeye provides cabin accommodations with professional management and well-maintained facilities. While pets are allowed at most cabin locations, policies vary by property with some charging additional fees. A recent review mentioned, "You 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."

When planning a cabin stay, pack personal linens, pillows, and towels as these items are rarely provided. Basic cooking facilities vary significantly between properties—some include only outdoor grills while others offer small kitchenettes. Drinking water and electrical outlets are standard at most cabin sites. Market facilities can be found at several locations including Destiny Phoenix RV Resorts and Pleasant Harbor RV Resort, though selection is limited to essentials. For more extensive grocery needs, major retailers are available within a short drive of most cabin properties. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during winter months when seasonal visitors arrive.

    Mesa-Apache Junction KOA

    All the features of a hotel

    This KOA had some really awesome features and gives you most of the convenience of a hotel with the ability to bring your RV and your personal items with you without the hotel price tag. The KOA features a year round heated pool and jacuzzi. The pool area was fenced and had some chairs, tables, and what appeared to be covered grills. The pool is right outside the office building which also has bathrooms and a small convenience store. If they don't have what you are looking for the is a major grocery store about 2 miles away. This KOA is in town. Don't come here if you're looking for a remote destination. The other side of the exterior fence has houses and businesses.

    Each site has a picnic table and some had a stand up bbq pit. The spaces are really close together and separated by a row of rocks. Up front they have 4 little single room cabins that say there can sleep 6 but have no bathrooms. There are some upgraded RV spaces that have outside grill areas with sinks and counter space.

    The spaces have very little shade if any! Be very aware of the weather when you visit. It'll be hot during the day and very cold at night depending on the time of year. You will be randomly assigned a space unless you pay the fee to have an assigned space.

    The KOA features a small fenced playground with a tetherball, swing set, merry go round, and a table with an umbrella. On the other side of the KOA there is a small fenced dog run. I also saw a stand alone sink near one of the loops. There is an activity center if you're hosting a group event. It had a few standing bbq pits outside. At the entrance was an air pump for filling tires.

    Great value as a TT member

    We stayed at this property from 12/28/2020 - 01/11/2020.  This was our first experience with a TT/Encore property.  The RV site we were assigned has a rock pad, was moderately spacious, level, in full sun, and a fire ring or picnic table was not provided.  There was a pool, hot tub, lodge, pickleball, mini golf, shuffleboard, dog park, laundry and a fitness center on the grounds.  The nearest grocery store was within 5 miles as well.

    Good place - Quiet

    Convenient to SE Phoenix area. Far enough from the freeway to be quiet. 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. Very open, but a tree between each rig. Not much shade. Full hookups but no CATV. $73 per night. I will. Stay here again when I’m in the area.

    Clean

    Large clean spots. All spots are fenced descent pool and small store if you need anything. We stayed in the loop near the entrance. Quite loud with all the cars coming and going. Marina for boat rentals with a shuttle to take you back and forth. Strong WiFi. Kids were able to zoom without any issues.

    Was a beautiful and comfortable place to stay

    We stayed in the cabin and it was beautiful! There are parks or playgrounds for the little ones, the area was peaceful and clean, the cabins are clean and affordable, and it had the perfect amount of woods & wildlife. A family of dear would come to our cabin and graze each morning as I sat on my cabin porch with a cup of coffee. The staff is respectful and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay.

    Pleasant Harbor RV Resort

    Disappointed

    Well we stayed here for two nights and frankly I wasn’t very impressed. The Campground is really only for permanent residents, everyone else ends up in a dirt lot essentially. Nearest bathrooms were a bit of a hike, so were all amenities. We paid for water and electric. The noise level was crazy... especially as we have a pop-up. I guess they don’t really enforce quiet hours. We got in late and finding our campsite was hard in the dark if you’ve never been there before. Lots of bugs at night. Honestly you pay $50 a night just to be by a lake and for me it wasn’t worth it 🤷‍♀️.

    Great Desert Oasis

    We loved this park in the Arizona Desert.  Close to everything, yet set up to feel like you're in your own little village.  The amenities at this park are outstanding and the neighbors are super friendly.  Sites are decent size!  We loved the three pools, multiple hot tubs and modern showers and laundry rooms.  This park can be hard to get into because of its popularity.  Highly recommended!  Check out our video of this great RV report on Youtube at:  https://youtu.be/gDr1Z9NGhr8

    Mesa Gardens RV Park

    May 2025

    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.

    Get curb parked for $27

    We stayed here 2 weeks when we were new Thousand Trails members (it came with the RV), but since we showed up the first night at sunset, we were curb-parked that night.. Which is when one of the very lovely security staff there let us know that it's less expensive (for non‐TT members) to get one of those curb spots (with electric, & close access to showers, pool, laundry) than to get a regular spot. So this time, having let TT expire, we tried this out- no reservation (I did call ahead, but indeed, curb spots are unreserved), just show up at dusk or later, and this very nice, truly chill but soo ginormous resort let us park right in the front/middle for the night. And swim. And do laundry. They put cones around us, and said we could put out our slide-out! Checkout's at 11. There's a Jack-in-the-Box .4 miles from where they park ya. We plan to use this again!

Guide to Goodyear

Goodyear, Arizona offers practical camping options within a desert environment. Located in the Sonoran Desert with elevations around 1,000 feet, the area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures frequently exceeding 100°F and mild winters with lows in the 40s. The region's desert terrain features saguaro cacti, mesquite trees, and seasonal wildflowers that typically bloom February through April.

What to do

Desert hiking: 14 miles of trails at Estrella Mountain Regional Park provide desert terrain exploration with varying difficulty levels. The Rainbow Valley and Dysart trails offer gentler paths suitable for beginners.

Water recreation: Lake Pleasant provides boating, swimming and fishing 45 minutes from Goodyear. "We decided to brave Lake Pleasant on a holiday weekend. We were delighted that the campground was clean, well maintained, and staffed with incredibly friendly and helpful folks," notes a visitor to Pleasant Harbor RV Resort.

Pickleball and swimming: Many RV resorts feature recreational facilities for guests. "The pool is refreshing and if you aren't into swimming there is a pool table, dog park and shuffle board to keep you busy," reports a camper at Leaf Verde RV Resort.

Cultural exploration: Old Town Scottsdale sits 45 minutes from Goodyear. "Location is about 45 minutes from Phoenix, which was perfect for us. We spent a little time in old town Scottsdale as well which is about the same distance," notes a reviewer at the Mesa-Apache Junction KOA.

What campers like

Fruit trees: Some resorts feature citrus groves. "Near I-10. Close together spots but orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees everywhere. They have 2 fenced dog runs. Pretty pool and hot tub. People are very friendly and helpful," writes a guest at Destiny Phoenix RV Resorts.

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high standards for bathrooms and laundry areas. "The laundry facility was one of the nicest we've ever used! Pool was a great bonus for our family after a long day of driving," notes a camper at Leaf Verde RV Resort.

Dog-friendly areas: Dedicated pet spaces appear at multiple campgrounds. "They have 3 dog pens side by side to unleash pet for pottying and a long dog run in another area with toys & balls," reports a reviewer at Destiny Phoenix RV Resorts.

Central location: Goodyear provides access to metropolitan amenities while still offering camping experiences. "Great campground centrally located to Phoenix and Scottsdale," notes a visitor to Mesa Gardens RV Park.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Summer temperatures routinely exceed 110°F in Goodyear. Winter (November-March) offers more moderate temperatures, drawing seasonal visitors. "This is a giant parking lot for RV camping that is popular with Snowbirds being it is close to groceries, store fronts and I10," explains a reviewer at Leaf Verde RV Resort.

Age restrictions: Some properties limit stays to older adults. "I did not stay here because this is a 55 and older community. Seems strange to have it on an app like this. I am writing this review so others can see that this is a community for retirees," notes a visitor to Sun Life RV Resort.
