Best RV Parks & Resorts near Central, AZ

126 Reviews

RV parks near Central, Arizona include Safford RV Resort with full hookups, 50-amp service, and big rig-friendly sites available year-round. North Clifton RV Park features spacious sites with picnic tables, water, electric, and sewer connections, making it suitable for larger motorhome setups. Apache Gold RV Park in San Carlos provides RV sites with water and sewer connections, while Alaskan RV Park in Bowie accommodates travel trailers and larger RVs with level sites. "We are staying here for 6 days. Mostly quiet and peaceful. We have Passport America so the price is right. Full hookups," noted one visitor about North Clifton RV Park.

Many RV sites throughout the region require advance reservations, particularly during winter months when seasonal visitors seek warmer desert conditions. Roads leading to some parks involve elevation changes, particularly when approaching Mount Graham, where vehicles longer than 22 feet may have difficulty negotiating switchbacks. Dump stations are available at most parks, with a free option at the Water Reclamation Plant in Safford where RVers must sign in, dump, and sign out. Cell service varies significantly by location, with stronger signals reported near Safford and diminishing coverage in mountainous areas. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard restrictions, though some parks enforce breed or size limitations.

    Cottonwood Campground — Roper Lake State Park

    Well maintained, great hiking

    We found the ranger to be very helpful in terms of outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, etc.) The park has great spaces for tent campers and big rigs, with electricity for 30 and 50 amp campers. They also have several cabins right on the lake. 

    Our spot had a picnic table and was right beside the beach. There is a great hike only minutes from the campground where you can see Mt. Graham. 

    The bathrooms, showers, and sinks were all well maintained. Also, the spot is great for stargazing.

    We are looking forward to returning. The town of Safford is charming and has some nice restaurants too.

    Alaskan RV Park

    Take a trip down Music Road for a great stay!

    Alaskan RV Park is conveniently located off of I-10 at Exit 366 near Bowie. The park features affordable RV sites at $20/night. The sites are all spacious pull-throughs. There is a dump station on site($10), and water refill available (based on tank size, but not more than $20). The park is handicap accessible and pet friendly. No breed restrictions. Tenting is also available. There are showers and laundry available. Alaskan RV Park is Bowie's best kept secret as it was the site of the Sideman Jamboree each year and featured music from country stars. The park hopes to bring music back to the stage in the future.

    Grande Vista RV Park

    Friendly Staff, Gravel spots, Clean and convenient to Willcox

    The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the Male showers/restroom was under construction and not usable.

    Gravel drive-through and back-in spots for RVs with 30 or 50 amp connections, water and sewer. Two tent spots. North of Willcox, but the city is small enough that the whole town is within walking distance (we walked to the center of town in about 15 minutes).

    This is basically an old trailer park that has been upgraded to accommodate RVs around the perimeter and a couple of tents near the park/restroom area.

    The shower/restroom area also has laundry facilities.

    We didn't go into the rec room, but were told it has a pool table and a book/video exchange-type library.

    The Rodeo grounds are a short drive across the freeway (don't follow your GPS if it tells you to use airport road - take the route that uses Rex Allen Drive) at Quail park (about 2 miles away - straight shot).  This is a very convenient park to the Rodeo Grounds.

    This park, as was all of Willcox (even though it was Rex Allen Days weekend) is VERY QUIET. Didn't see anyone other than a couple of dog walkers in the morning and the staff when we checked in.

    Grande Vista RV Park

    Who knew internet speeds would be the fastest I've ever seen

    I have Verizon and management stated Verizon is the best in this small town and look at my screen shot, it's no joke. He said all other carriers suck.

    This is on top of their 2 free wifi access they provide which are already fast! So if you need to get work done and reliant on good internet speeds, you've found the spot.

    Place is a mix of mobile homes and RV park. Each site has their own picnic table and FHU. Water spigot is on the ground, not elevated. Laundry, showers, rec room (pool table, full kitchen, DVDs, books) and BBQ grill are included. Cats roaming everywhere. Fairly flat gravel parking. Management had to put me in a 50 amp site (#9) because their 30 amp sites were full at no extra charge. He even let me borrow the 50/30 amp converter as I didn't have one. Management lives in a mobile home near office and it was nice as he is available after regular hours.

    Quiet place overall. If you come on trash day (Tuesday), you might get woken up by it if you're in our site as it's next to the alley.

    As stated, very small town. We had dinner at Isabella's South Of The Border. Food wasn't as great as the reviews but decent for the area. Fun tip: Isabella is the wife of the owner of The Big Tex BBQ.

    Haekel Rd Dispersed Camping

    Nice spot with great views, easy access to goods/services 8m away.

    Nice Spot. Easy to find, and easy to find a spot. Big Rig friendly in the 1st area. Gets a little tighter the further down you go like most places. We stayed in the 1st area for stronger internet & less fuel consumption when we go to town. Diesel prices are stupid right now. We found a nice level unobstructed spot looking out at the snow capped peaks of Mt. Graham. Verizon via Visible 2-3 bars. ATT via Straight Talk 3-4. Haven't tried OTA channels. 4 Rigs in the 1st area, about a football field apart. Some overnighters, but most we talked to here 7-14 days. Minimal trash, but some. Pretty quiet and only about 8m to town, but it feels more remote. Free dump station at the Water Reclamation Plant in Safford, just sign in, dump, sign out. They also have water to rinse, not potable. Cute diner in town called Jerry's. Good burgers at JD's sports bar (loud though). Great RV repair shop (Trek RV) squeezed us in for a Furnace motor issue. This one gets added to the Will RETURN list.

    Alaskan RV Park

    Sweet little park

    We really liked this simple little RV park. Friendly and has character, even though it's like many other RV parks with the large gravel lot.   Nice backdrop of the mountains.  We liked the music vibe of the place, and that it is such a laid back and welcoming place.

    Right off highway 10 so you get the road noise. Park has large gravel/dirt sites with hook ups. 

    Rate is $20/night with laundry, showers and bathrooms. 

    Pet friendly. Staff friendly as well.

    Cochise Lake Wildlife Viewing Area Dispersed

    Amazing Boondocking and viewing area for Sandhill Cranes

    Review of RV Boondocking at Cochise Lake Willcox, AZ

    Cochise Lake is a fantastic boondocking spot with plenty of space, making it perfect for big rigs. It is easy to access, peaceful, and offers a great place to settle in for a night or more.

    The real highlight, though, is the incredible experience with the sandhill cranes. You’re just feet away from hundreds of not thousands of these majestic birds. Watching them take flight at daybreak is absolutely breathtaking. Many return around 1 p.m., and sunset brings another spectacular show.

    If you love birdwatching, wide-open spaces, and the beauty of nature, this spot is definitely worth a visit!

    Arcadia Campground

    Nice break from the desert heat but overpriced

    My husband, myself and our 2 small dogs live in Tucson, AZ. We recently acquired a roof top tent and we’ve been trying out various campgrounds across the Southwest.

    The drive up scenic highway 366 is worth a trip regardless. There are some amazing views of the Pinaleños. Since it’s still February, the road to the top of the mountain was closed to us so we decided to stay at Arcadia since it’s open year round.

    We were the only people staying overnight, which surprised us since it was a holiday weekend. We did see a group picnicking when we first arrived though. Also, we could hear sports cars on the highway at night. Probably racing down the tight switchbacks.

    No water, so make sure to bring your own. Toilets were clean, pit toilets and there were 2 sets. Campsites are pretty spread out. Some were 30-50 feet from the main road and wouldn’t really suit our needs as RTT campers. Lots of trash cans and a few bear boxes. Each site has a fire pit with a cooking grate and a cement picnic table. For camping in AZ, it is well suited for tent camping. We stayed in site 12. Most other sites wouldn’t not be ideal for RTTs.

    I would definitely return to the Pineleños, but I’m going to wait until April, when we can access the sites at the top of the mountains.

    Overall, it’s a nice wooded area, but with only 1 hiking trail (to Shannon Campground, 10mi r/t) and no vista views from the site, I don’t think it’s worth $20 a night. We decided to only spend 1 night here.
