    Sonoran Desert RV Park

    Well maintained and very friendly

    Important: If you plan to arrive after hours you must call ahead so you can get the gate code. They gave us a temporary spot that was pull thru due to the time of our late arrival. Then at noon they escorted us to our site to set up for the duration of our visit. I included an images of daily, weekly, and monthly rates for 2023 and full list of amenities and the winter activities. There are also deluxe sites available. This camp ground is pet friendly with a dog park area and offered daily planned activities. We participated in game night, line dancing classes, aquatic aerobics in the heated pool, and the New Years party. The showers are very clean and the laundry room was immaculate. The sites have full hook up 30/50 amp and sites up to 100'x55'. They offer propane services. There isn't anything to do in the town.

    Sonoran Desert RV Park

    Great Experience

    Our RV GPS and Waze took us right to this very nice campground(CG). Check-in was quick, and we were escorted to back-in site 503 with FHUs. The sites here are long and wide enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450 truck. The sites in our area were also decently spaced for a private CG. There was also room for an OHV if we’d brought one. The guest WiFi works pretty well with a download of 6.73 and an upload of.92. Water pressure was good at 50 psi, and we got 4 bars on Verizon. There are a few trees in the CG, but we had a clear shot of the northern sky for Starlink. They also have cable, but we didn’t use it. They had a very nice 4000 sq ft, sectioned-off dog park with two of the areas/corrals having grass. Behind the show/laundry/pool facility is where you drop off your propane tank for fills. They do not have a propane service that comes to the site. We were also impressed with their PETHouse sites where you have a private dog run. Their laundry facility was larger than most CGs of this size and it was very clean. There’s also a wash pad where you can wash your OHV or truck. Gilla Bend has a Family Dollar and a couple of small grocery stores plus eating establishments. You’re about 30 minutes from major amenities in Buckeye and an hour from Phoenix. We stayed here with friends for 4 nights and enjoyed ourselves.

    Leaf Verde RV Resort

    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.

    Budget RV Park

    Now called Sundance West RV Resort

    I think if you're  looking for a place to winter, this is a good Campground.  

    Pros: Very clean, nicely landscaped for AZ, staff friendly, good grocery & dining options nearby. Lots of OTA channels, pool, corn hole, laundry, dog park, activities  etc. 

    Cons: pull through was long, but not quite level, WIFI does not reach the pull through sights in the back at all .... and they know it. Couldn't figure out how to hook to their cable. Permit to wash your rig $10 for the season.

    Guess that should have been our first clue... they have a season. Sort of winter camp for snowbirds. If that is what you are looking for, it is very nice.

    We were in the area to visit friends, dump/pump/resupply after boondocking, and do Taxes. Not having wifi was kind of a big deal for us. Being told we'd have to use the internet in the clubhouse wasn't  going to cut it. Who wants to drag all their personal financial information to a common area?

    Normally  it would not have been a big deal, we do have a Hotspot, but at $431 weekly rate, $80 nightly, in this day & age, routers for wifi to the whole park should be a given.

    Otherwise we did enjoy our stay here, and met some great people.

    Sonoran Desert RV Park

    Very nice spread out park to relax for the night

    We stayed here one night and would recommend it for anyone wanting to enjoy the night skies, having some distance between RV pull in's, and relax while driving cross country.

    The staff was welcoming and showed us to our sites and ensured we hooked up with no issues.  Then, let us enjoy the night.

    The dog run was great and well maintained.  We thought he pet rock cemetery was touching (passed on pets have rocks with their names on them laid out in a small memorial). 

    We had a pull through full hook up site.  The site was required minor leveling, but no need to unhook. Wifi worked great.  There was road and rail noise though.

    We are not sure if there are really any local attractions.

    Old Airstrip Camping & Staging Area

    Free and Beautiful!

    We have a 4WD truck, so we were able to get past most of the RVs and toy haulers, but they all seemed like family friendly people! The burros are no joke! You can hear and see them all around you. We also heard a few coyotes right after dusk which was cool. We had our two dogs with us and just kept them on the leash so we had no negative cactus experiences... Overall, a really cool place to be even if you don’t have an OHV. We got in around 6PM and were able to find a secluded spot with a fire ring already there, no problem.

    McDowell Mountain Regional Park

    Great sites with great views!

    Very quiet! Lots of hiking and bike riding trails with a bike course! Playground. Pet friendly. Very clean and friendly hosts. Close to fountain hills if you need anything in town. Close to town but very much felt like you where away on vacation no hustle bustle in the desert! The views where fantastic. Sites where clean and spacious a lot of space between each site for privacy! Will definitely be back!

    White Tank Mountain

    Peaceful retreat

    This park is so close to town, but far enough to get some quiet night sky! There are standard campsites and a more primitive camping area. The Willow Canyon site is big enough for a full length Sprinter, though the office says 16’ is the length limit.

    Lots of trails for hiking, biking and horses. Brand new showers, restrooms and a dishwashing area. Dogs allowed too!

    I’m on Verizon and only got a single bar in the park. The library is near the entrance if you need to get your WiFi fix!

    Monte Vista RV Resort

    This park really lives up to its Name “Resort”

    My wife and two mini-Daschunds stayed in a 40 ft Fifth Wheel. All the sites are back-in but all have concrete parking pads and patio. Gravel surrounds each campsite and we have noticed maintenance crews raking the gravel every other day. Close to all the fun stuff on the Superstition Mountains. This park is associated with a very large senior retirement village. All amenities you would expect and meticulously maintained. All the staff that we came in contact with was very nice and helpful. You can’t go wrong staying at this park

Winter temperatures average 65-75°F during the day, making it popular with seasonal travelers seeking warm-weather camping destinations.

What to do

Water recreation at Lake Pleasant: Pleasant Harbor RV Resort provides convenient access to boating and fishing, with one camper noting, "Lake swimming not your thing? Pool available with showers and store. Well managed and great family summer fun." The resort offers a shuttle service to transport kayaks to the boat ramp, and multiple camping options including full hookups, water/electric sites, and dry camping areas.

Golf course access: Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort features an on-site 18-hole golf course with a bar and grill. A reviewer mentioned, "This is a self described 5 star RV long stay park. It has Almost every amenity you can think of." The resort offers Good Sam discounts and has many local activities within driving distance.

Social activities: Senior communities often organize numerous activities for guests. A reviewer at Encore Mesa Spirit observed, "This 55+ community is very well organized," with amenities including pickleball, mini golf, shuffleboard, and a dog park. The resort hosts regular events and has three pools and multiple hot tubs available to campers.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many RV parks near Tolleson maintain high cleanliness standards. A camper at Leaf Verde RV Resort reported, "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." Parks typically offer paved roadways with gravel or concrete camping pads.

Laundry facilities: Several parks provide on-site laundry facilities. One Leaf Verde visitor specifically mentioned, "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." This can be especially important for extended-stay travelers or families with children.

Site escort service: Some parks provide site escort services to help with parking. According to one camper at Leaf Verde, "This RV Park has it all..Run by professionals. They even escort you to your space. Facilities are great, they have all of them, lit paved walkways, large spaces, wifi works." This service helps with navigating larger rigs into sometimes tight camping spaces.

What you should know

Age restrictions: Many RV sites near Tolleson restrict residency to older adults. A reviewer at Paradise RV Resort noted, "At least one person travelling and staying in any unit must be able to show proof of age 55 or older." Sunflower RV Resort similarly identifies as a "55 and older resort," with a visitor commenting, "Not sure how to rate it, but it should be listed somewhere that it's not family friendly."

Pet policies: Pet restrictions vary significantly between parks. One visitor to Cotton Lane RV Resort shared, "We went through the extensive application to stay a night and then called back and were told we could not have a reservation because our dog was 'mixed'. We were actually going to drop the dog off with family in Phoenix, but were told if we even enter the gates with the dog in our truck they would cancel our reservation."

Site spacing: Space between RV sites can be limited at some parks. A Cotton Lane visitor observed, "Sights are very tight and very close together. Slides almost touch one another." Similarly, at Encore Mesa Spirit, a camper described it as "basically an RV parking lot with lots of traffic noise and nothing pretty to look at."

Tips for camping with families

Check age policies first: Before booking, confirm the campground welcomes children. A reviewer at Sunflower RV Resort stated directly, "55 and older resort. Not sure how to rate it, but it should be listed somewhere that it's not family friendly." Many resorts near Tolleson cater exclusively to older adults with strict age policies.

Consider Pleasant Harbor for water activities: Pleasant Harbor RV Resort offers family-friendly amenities including water access. One visitor shared, "Large clean spots. All spots are fenced descent pool and small store if you need anything. Marina for boat rentals with a shuttle to take you back and forth. Strong WiFi. Kids were able to zoom without any issues."

Look for pool access: During hot months, pools provide necessary relief for families. A Leaf Verde visitor noted, "Pool was a great bonus for our family after a long day of driving," while another mentioned that "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."

Tips from RVers

Consider short-term parking options: For overnight stops without reservations, some parks offer special arrangements. One visitor to Encore Mesa Spirit shared, "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."

Book early for winter stays: The Phoenix area is popular with winter visitors, making availability limited during peak season. Paradise RV Resort is described as "a beautiful, amenity filled and active adult activity park of a five star level. Minimum requirements for RV size and class are strictly adhered to."

Check Wi-Fi capabilities: Internet access varies between parks. At Encore Mesa Spirit, a camper warned, "Internet is crap, you have to spend $100 to get decent service. I guess if you are a longer term resident that makes sense." Meanwhile, at Monte Vista RV Resort, the meticulously maintained grounds feature concrete parking pads and patios, with one visitor noting, "All the staff that we came in contact with was very nice and helpful."
