ScoutIt’s a crying shame when you live in this so called resort and watch prostitutes walk up and down your street and use the bathroom that is supposed to be for the residents. Management needs to get their but in gear and stop this nonsense. Stop this shit from happening to our park.
ScoutGood rate for a KOA, hot tub was a huge perk, and right off the highway! Great spot.
TravelerBeautiful area with hiking trails right off the RV area. Electric and water only.
GuideFor a season I snowbirded there. The amenities are decent, and some activities are notable.
Three staff did not communicate well, and one should be at ADX*, not in hospitality.
If I ever return, I hope the bad staff are gone.
*ADX Florence CO, maximum security federal prison.
ScoutVery nice level sites, quiet. Cave tour very interesting and worth the stop.
LegendGreat spot to charge up.
GuideThis is the best KOA I think I've ever seen. Too many amenities to mention. They do have two pools and two hot tubs one an adult only restaurant on site store on site laundry gym showers in many different types of sites dog friendly with six different dog run areas some sites have their own fence dog area.
GuideVery spacious park. Some full timers but all very well kept and patrolled by the owners/managers. Very friendly management. Love that the entire park is gravel and well kept. Pool, bathrooms and showers were impeccable. One of the best I’ve seen/used. Staff is visible and they drive around the park to keep an eye on things. Full hookups with pull thru lots. This is definitely a park to visit if you’re passing thru or need a few nights to relax. Nice laundromat with updated appliances and very clean. Only issue is the trains on the other side of the interstate run constantly throughout the night. Wife didn’t hear them but I did. Interstate noise wasn’t noticeable much. Highly recommend.
TravelerWe booked Garden Grove RV Resort in Sierra Vista for three months, but after two months we made the decision to leave early because we no longer felt safe or comfortable staying there. During our stay, there was a major law-enforcement incident at the park involving Sierra Vista police, a SWAT team, and a helicopter. That alone was extremely unsettling. There was another law-enforcement incident involving park personnel the following week. After everything that happened, we did not feel comfortable remaining at the park. There were also many ongoing problems with the condition and management of the campground. For a park with more than 100 RV tenants, we observed only one garbage container available for residents. Around a number of sites, there were household items and other belongings left outside, and many sites appeared to be occupied by long-term residential campers. The interior roads were also in very poor condition. There were large washed-out areas and deep holes where we had to almost come to a complete stop to get through them safely. With a motorhome or other low-clearance vehicle, there is a real concern about scraping or damaging the underside of the vehicle. Another major concern was enforcement of the park rules. In our experience, many of the posted rules did not appear to be consistently enforced. One of the rules requires dogs to be on a leash. My husband was walking our two Labrador retrievers, both properly leashed, when an unleashed dog ran toward our dogs. Their leashes became wrapped around my husband's legs, causing him to fall hard. He severely injured his arm and was bleeding. This was especially upsetting because we were following the park's leash rule. The rules also state limits on the number of vehicles allowed at a site and prohibit tow dollies, yet we saw multiple sites with additional vehicles and tow dollies. Our neighbor had three vehicles parked so close to our Class A motorhome that at times we could not properly open one of our basement storage doors. Another site had what appeared to be a portable carport along with numerous vehicles. Our biggest issue was not simply that rules existed— it was that, from what we personally observed, they were routinely ignored or inconsistently enforced. We have traveled extensively and stayed in many RV parks. We understand that no campground is perfect, but we expect reasonable maintenance, enforcement of basic safety rules, and an environment where guests feel secure. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at Garden Grove RV Resort. We gave up the final month of our three-month reservation and left because our safety and peace of mind were more important than staying for the time we had already paid for. Based on our personal experience, we would not stay here again.

Located approximately 30 miles south of Tucson at elevations ranging from 2,900 to 4,600 feet, the region experiences milder summer temperatures than the lower desert. Winter cabin campers should prepare for overnight lows that can drop below freezing from November through February.
Birding excursions: Patagonia Lake State Park offers prime bird watching opportunities with over 300 species recorded. "Birder's paradise in April," notes one camper, who enjoyed canoeing on the lake and biking throughout the small campground.
Historic site exploration: Visit Kentucky Camp Cabin And Headquarters Building, a preserved mining camp from the early 1900s. The historic cabin rental sits on an old gold mining operation site and includes drinking water and electric hookups.

Vintage atmosphere: El Pais Motel and Campgrounds offers cabin options with a mid-century modern feel. "So retro," writes one visitor who found the place last minute, noting "the rates are very reasonable and the art deco vibes are more than enough reason to come back."

Desert privacy: LS5 Ranch cabins provide a more secluded desert experience. One camper describes the site: "The host offered to help with anything we may have forgotten or needed. Great fires every night. Cool spot."
Seasonal popularity: Winter sees the highest demand for cabins in the region. "We stayed here the month of Oct 2021 and came back for Jan 2022. Excellent 55+ resort," reports a visitor at Voyager RV Resort & Hotel.
Access considerations: Some cabin locations require navigating unpaved roads. "The access road from paved hwy was 7.9 miles of washboard sandy dusty dirt so be warned," notes one camper about Caballo Loco Ranch, adding "the 8 mi of dusty washboard sandy road makes quick trips to town uninviting."
Water restrictions: Many cabin areas have limited water resources. "Delicious well water," remarks a camper at Rancho del Nido, though water conservation is typically encouraged at most sites regardless of source.
Activity options: Tucson - Lazydays KOA offers family-friendly cabin accommodations with numerous recreation options. "Your kids will never complain of boredom here. There is an unlimited amount of activities to keep them occupied," reports one family.

Wildlife awareness: Desert fauna includes rattlesnakes and large mammals. "We had a couple of cows and a bull at our site and scared the crap out of us and the dogs had a hard time sleeping," recounts a camper at Patagonia Lake State Park Boat-In Campsites.
Site selection: RVers with cabin needs should verify accommodations well in advance. "We booked last minute and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The campus seems nice enough, but has a few years on it and in a rough neighborhood," advises an RVer.
Laundry procedures: Some facilities use payment systems that require specific denominations. "We went to do some laundry and they have the system where you put money on a card, but can only use $5 bills," explains a visitor to Voyager RV Resort who recommended planning ahead.
Security considerations: Some cabin camping areas have implemented security measures due to location. "We often heard gunshots at night...It does have a security guard so we felt safe in the campground," reports a camper who still enjoyed their stay despite these concerns.
