    Review of Countryside

    Countryside is a park with lots of sites dedicated for seasonal travelers. Spaces are close together. This park is more than a RV Park with amenities than a rv resort. I believe of 500 sites with over half the park being cabins and pad trailers. I would say here again.

    Pleasant Harbor RV Resort

    Great Campground with easy water access...lots of options

    There are several different RV/Camping options at Pleasant Harbor Marina / RV Resort. 

    1. In the resort with Full Hookups

    2. Out on the "flat" with just water and power (dump station on site)

    3. Out on the "flat" with no hookups. (can also tent / car camp)

    As compared to the Maricopa County Parks side, this has a little bit more party atmosphere, is less secluded, but you can almost always get at least a boondocking spot without a reservation. They also have large events here as well so check their calendar for the weekend you are wanting to go!

    We keep a boat at Lake Pleasant and are part of the Arizona Yacht Club so we are up here all the time.

    Pioneer RV Resort 55+

    Out ran a winter storm and stumbled upon this gem!

    Great place for some R&R! While out-running a winter storm in Northern Arizona we headed South. Traveling through the Phoenix area we thought it would be hard to find a GOOD, CLEAN and AFFORDABLE place to stay since it was during the winter holidays. We lucked out when we happened upon this gem. The resort was safe, clean, had great amenities, and the staff were great.

    -- AND THEY HAD GREAT PRICES! --

    It did seem the pull-thru sites were a bit tight. However, we stayed in one of the standard RV spaces. So, we can't confirm that they actually are tight, it just appeared that way.

    We did not have a picnic table at our site. (It does not appear that there are tables at any of the sites.) But there was plenty of room between rigs to park a vehicle -and- set up our own tables and chairs.

    There is a shooting range near by. People and pets with issues hearing gun/rifle shots during the day should be aware, you -can- hear the shots being fired. It's not deafening, not loud at all, in our humble opinion. You just know there's shots being fired.

    At the time of this review you can save even more money because they provide AAA and Good Sam discounts!

    If you're looking for a nice, clean, FRIENDLY, resort with amazing prices, Pioneer RV Resort is the place!

    -- WE WILL STAY THERE AGAIN. --

    (Our apologies for lack of more pictures, it was pouring rain during our stay. However, we will say that the pictures on their website are indeed representative of the resort, amenities, and cleanliness.)

    Sundial Mobile & RV Park

    Simple and affordable

    Simple and affordable RV park. Pretty much the ONLY one we could get ahold of in the phoenix area that isn’t 55+. They are currently renovating the bathrooms and laundry, so we basically only have hookups and no amenities, which is fine for us. There’s plenty of stores nearby. It’s a close enough drive to Phoenix to enjoy the city, but you save quite a bit by staying here as apposed to campgrounds closer. Spots were pretty tight, no privacy. Small concrete area for a patio. It’s a very flat land so leveling was quick. There are a lot of (and looks like most of the park) is long term, and they have mailboxes which is a good option if someone is looking for a longer stay. Overall simple and affordable, priced at $282 for a week in April 2023

    La Hacienda RV Resort

    Great place to stay

    La Hacienda RV Resort is one of the nicest RV resorts that I have seen! Lot of big trees, Beautiful pool and spa, very clean air conditioned laundry and the price was very reasonable, they have a shower room for men and one for women the showers were very clean and modern. This RV resort had full hookup with Fiber Optic cable and internet. There were several craft rooms, a lapidary room, a spa, 2 Picle Ball courts, there was shuffleboard, a computer room, a sewing room, a card room..... I could go on and on about the amenities and how much I liked this RV resort, but what I liked the most was the staff!!! Joyce and Ann in the office were a true pleasure to work with! I searched East Mesa and Apache Junction for a place to park my RV for about 6 weeks(I was undergoing a surgery procedure at MD Anderson) In all my searching I found this resort and while it wasn't the cheapest, it was by far the most reasonable and it also was the best place that I could find! I forgot to mention that they are a pet friendly park if you stay on the pet approved area! I also have to add that the people who were our neighbors were super friendly and even all passed a get well soon card around and wrote kind words of hope for a speedy healing. You couldn't walk down the street without seeing a friendly face or someone who was happy to visit. I grew up in Phoenix and never considered vacationing in Phoenix for that reason....but...LA Hacienda RV Resort has me rethinking this!

    Clean RV park

    Easy to get to from the 10 freeway, good sized RV park w decent sized sites, park is kept clean, pool, Pickleball courts, cornhole area, dog park, huge laundry room, and the people are nice. Regular pull through spots are kind of like buddy spots as your doors face each other. Back in and deluxe sites are decent sized. Roadways are asphalt and large enough to maneuver bigger rigs through. All sites are full hook up w 30 & 50 amp electrical.

    meh...

    This is basically an RV parking lot with lots of traffic noise and nothing pretty to look at. Don't look at the pictures as they do not reflect what you are dealing with. The staff are great but everything else is .... NOT.  Internet is crap, you have to spend $100 to get decent service.  I guess if you are a longer term resident that makes sense.  Except for the wonderful staff - and a full hook up - this was just not good.  I would rather dry camp in a pretty place than stay here.  super disappointed and am leaving early because of it.

    A jewel in the desert farm lands

    Very well maintained and beautifully landscaped 55+ RV resort. The facilities are kept in great condition. Large sites, many park model and modular for sale or rent. Gated community. Pools and spa, horse shoes, pickle ball, activities center and club house and much more.

    Stayed here over Independence Day week on vacation. They have 10 year age limit on RVs but made an exception for us due to it being the off season. We found all the staff and permanent residents very helpful and nice. Great little retirement or winter hold over.

    Fun & Active 55+ Resort!

    Fiesta Grande RV Resort in Casa Grande, Arizona is a nice 55+ age qualified RV resort in the sunny Arizona desert. The staff here is very welcoming and friendly. They have almost every activity you can think of for a healthy and fun stay. The resort has a full activity calendar with the days full of classes, activities, and shows. The sites are FHU and we were surprised how large and clean they are. If you are a Trails Collection member, this resort is free for two weeks at a time. It’s a great deal and we would highly recommend it if you are in the area. 👍🏻😬

    Love this park

    Love this park because it is out of the busy city, yet close to everything. Feels more "campy" than most RV resorts in the Phoenix area, and they do a great job of maintaining the park. Have weekly and monthly rates so nice for folks who want to stay in the area longer. Hiking and biking in the area and accross the road from a casino if you like to gamble.

    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!

    Very clean

    We stayed for one night (June 4) and it was over 100°F. All spots have a small grill, picnic table, full hook-ups, showers, laundry, and a community room. Verizon worked great. Concrete slab to park on and rocks around instead of grass.

    Holiday Village

    Mini community feel

    This is a long term residential park, and by the reaction of the office staff they are not used to grubby campers walking in to ask about staying for one night. It was more of a sales office that was more geared toward selling lots.

    We picked this place because it was the cheapest on Passport America($18.50 with discount, $39 full price). Sites come with hookups (50amp only) and you stay in a spot in a most confusing maze of streets among mobile homes and permanent residents. There is a club house and a pool and a craft and woodworking workshop. There is paper recycling and a long forgotten mixed recycling shed, maybe it will be revived one day. 

    Laundry room is open 6am to 4pm only. No change machine or soap dispenser. Quarters only. 

    Street noise was very loud all night, and some train noise as well. 

    Good for a chore day for dumping and filling of tanks and laundry. Also in town so grocery shopping nearby as well. Would not stay here otherwise.

    Busy

    Beautiful area, but it seems that everyone else thinks so too. I waited 15 min in line to get up to the check in booth just to get in the park and when I left the next day the cars were backed up again. This park would be a 5 star plus if it wasn’t for the amount of people and the price for a rv site in a county park. The rv park within was nice, not too close together. The semi developed park is what I was looking for, no electricity or water at the sites, potable water in the area but only allowed 16’ trailer or less so that left me out. The developed sites all had electric and water at each site and one or two had sewer, but at a premium. It cost an additional $8 per night. Their was a dump station at the entrance of the rv park for everyone else.

    Tortilla Campground

    Simply Gorgeous & Oh So Friendly!

    “The town too tough to die,” reads the slogan of the tiny village just about a half mile from this wonderful campground. On any night of the week, the campground boasts more residents than the village, at only 6, but during the day it’s a different story. People come from all over just to hang out, have lunch, or shop at this little speck on the map that could be adequately described as a “tourist trap.” 

    For all the commotion nearby, the campground hears none of it. Tucked neatly under the road, the tiers of camping loops simply face out to a view that is magical and the rest of the world can just roll on by. This campground is unique in that each space has water and sewer, but no electrical…so bring those solar panels and leave the generators at home. The bathrooms are clean and offer a flush, but only accommodate one person at a time, which is great during a pandemic year.

    For some reason, the people at this campground are extra friendly…each and every time we come here, we’ve made some new friends. If you go up the road, there is some incredible hiking and hardcore cycling. Down the road, and you’ll find gorgeous Canyon Lake and the Salt River. We’ve paddled all over the US and other parts of the world, and the Salt River Canyon still remains one of the most beautiful and most accessible. If you want to avoid boat traffic, go in the early morning or just before sunset. It’s divine!

    The closest services for prepared food and ice are in the quaint town of Tortilla Flat, but you won’t find a grocery store. Further down the valley 15 miles or so is the Phoenix suburb of Apache Junction which has all the usual stuff for groceries, gas, and more RV parks than you can shake a stick at.

    Typical RV park. Snooze.

    This is an RV Park not far from my home, so I reviewed it so I’d have some practical advice for friends and family members traveling through the area. It’s nothing exciting - just a big paved RV parking lot crossed by paved streets. The speed limit in 1/2mph increments was entertaining, but I think I’d recommend this place only if all the local county parks happened to be full. Boring.
