  Encore Countryside

  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.

  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.)

  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!

  Encore Mesa Spirit

  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.

  Eagle View RV Resort at Fort Mcdowell

  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.

  Encore Mesa Spirit

  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!

  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.

  Payson Campground & RV Resort

  Clean and Easy to get to

  Look if you want to really camp this is not the place for you. Spots are close together with a fair amount of trees around. Because campsites are close there is some noise but not bad. Some road noise as well and to be expected since you are camping in town. Sites are clean and maintained and full hook ups including sewer, electric and water. I don’t consider this camping because I usually head out into the forest but overall this was good and got me spending time in my camper so all good.

  Mesa-Apache Junction KOA

  Cozy in AJ

  This KOA sits on the outskirts of Apache Junction, which itself isn't Phoenix proper but an eastern suburb. The RV park has all of the basics: power, water, sewer plus a pool and a level, clean site.

  Forest Road 9365 - ROAD TEMPORARILY CLOSED

  Convenient get away

  We decided on a whim to head north for the weekend. This was our first dispersed camping experience with our new RV.  We didn't know where to go and this was the first place we tried. 

  There are lots of places to park, but many are a bit 'rugged' in trying to get to. We found a great place that suited our needs.

  Here are the Positives: 

  • Uncrowded. We were literally the only people there. There were 5 other RVs that people apparently had parked long term. Some had stickers on them indicating they were in violation of the 14 day stay policy. Interestingly all were moved out while we were there.
  • Close to town. You're only 5 miles out of Strawberry so pretty convenient if you want to head to town for breakfast or if you need something.
  • Strong 5G cellular signal on ATT. We got 120Mb/s speed there which was awesome.

  Negatives

  • Right off Highway 87. Lots of road noise. This bothered us just a little. 

  • Big drop off on turn-in. We have a 39ft rig and the backend bottomed out when we pulled in. Keep that in mind if you have a big RV that tends to ride close to the ground. 

  Overall I'd say this is a good place if you are just trying to get out of the heat and you enjoy going into town. It doesn't seem too popular so maybe less crowded than others?

  Oxbow Estates RV Park

  Clean quiet no frills

  Decided to do a fairly short notice shakedown trip to Payson memorial day weekend. On such short notice the main Payson campground was already full, in searching around I found Oxbow as an alternative. Called up to see if there was availability and Nora the manager was super kind and assisted me in getting a fantastic campsite. Sites are very level, decent amount of room and very clean. It’s all gravel, a bit dusty, but setback well off the highway near several farms so it was very quiet both during the day and especially at night. While backing in the electrician happened to notice our rig and came over to speak with us and talked about how she had made sure that all wiring was solid, which I can confirm is true. Had full hook ups and everything was fine. Across the street is a donkey that’s very friendly likes to be pet and brays every now and again. would definitely stay here again.

  Rim Campground

  Quiet, expansive and feeling of being remote

  We reserved here because there wasn't any availability down by Woods Canyon Lake.  Upon arrival, we were met by Larry the camp host (an amazing friendly gentleman) they gave us some brief directions, rules of the park and local places to visit.  We have a 19' travel trailer and the RV parking is parallel to your campsite so you're level.  The amazing part (space 21) is your campsite....you have .5 mile of wilderness to the rim and enough available free firewood to last a week.  It's quiet and away from the craziness of Woods Canyon and helps you relax and not deal with the noise.

  Sitgreaves National Forest Canyon Point Campground

  Nice rv site

  Very nice clean rv park with well spaced campsites. Have yet to use the vault toilets or dumpsters so no opinion yet. Reserve and FFS sites there is a dumpsite and water, and some of the sites have electric. There are tent sites as well. Having been here through the afternoon/evening, I have to add that this campground is a bit noisy with hwy traffic and pets. I have to add that the staff here are very nice and helpful.

  Convenient to North Phoenix area

  We stored our RV here for several years and they were easy to deal with. No hassles. The RV Park itself is nice and has a swimming pool and a little social area where they have game nights and parties.

  Sharp Creek

  Fantastic Campground

  We love the Sharp Creek Campground. It is very clean and level and the hosts are very nice and helpful. No hookups but can dump at Ponderosa a few minutes away. They do have water available for RVs on site. Overall, one of our favorites.

  Desert's Edge RV Park

  Decent spot in North Phoenix

  Got a great deal on a monthly spot here. Not super close to anything, but wound up exploring Jerome and Sedona to the North and most of Phoenix to the South while I was there with my 35ft rig. The facilities are so so, but again, great for the price. Felt very welcome and safe at this RV park.

  Eagle View RV Resort at Fort Mcdowell

  Very nice campground!

  We have stayed at this park a few times and never disappointed. We have met great people here and enjoy that you can walk or bikeride directly from the RV Park. The park is always clean and well cared for, and we like that its not in the city center. They have a great laundryroom, and even a pickleball court. Its close to Scottsdale and Fountain Hills for shopping.

  Desert's Edge RV Park

  LOVE LOVE LOVE

  The greatest RV park I’ve stayed at and I’ve been traveling for 5 years. The office gals and owner were so great. The price was reasonable. The pool was great. The spots are a little close together and 1/2 of the laundry machines were out but all the other stuff made up for it. It’s a great park. If you’re in the north PHX area, I would highly recommend this park.

  Burnt Corral Campground

  Don’t try taking an RV in winter

  The only road open is from Roosevelt side over the dam wall … we had a 40 ft Cruise America RV. I would have been nervous taking an SUV down that road!!

  We tried calling to ask about conditions and no one advised of road issues. Camp might be wonderful but the road killed any chance of us going.

  We instead stayed at RV park by the town. Use google for directions and check with park operator before attempting this road. If you have a 4x4 it looks like an amazing drive.

  Sitgreaves National Forest Canyon Point Campground

  Great experience

  Clean, very widely dispersed camp sites(lots of social distancing trees) especially in loop B (no electricity hookup); loop A sites a little closer but still great and most sites have electricity. Double lane dump station but no full hookups. Very clean restrooms and showers (require a ticket, not open on Mon & Tues). Campground mostly quiet after 8:30pm. Nice little (about 2 miles round trip) hike to Sinkhole. Campground close to several wonderful lakes for fishing, canoes, kayaks and stand up boards.

  McDowell Mountain Regional Park

  Beautiful scenic views

  Large campground with beautiful views from every campsite. Desert camping so there are no tall trees for shade and it can get windy. Sites with good privacy, full restrooms with free showers. Tent sites are not as nice as RV sites with full hookup. Lots of trails for mountain biking or hiking.
