Best RV Parks & Resorts near Waddell, AZ

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

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.

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.

Apache Wells is a 55+ RV resort that is mostly for long stay RV use only. You will be mixed in with mobile homes and other RVs.

North Ranch is an Escapees RV park with large gravel lot and closely spaced sites. Full hook up with only 30 amp available. There is also another area for dry camping. This is a good place if just passing through and need to do some laundry and dump and fill and take a nice long shower. The sites are fairly close as most RV parks are, clean flat gravel sites. Nothing special but nothing much to complain about either.

Road noise was constant as was ATV use as many of the campers had them. Covid restrictions in place and a mask is required.

2 laundry areas with washer dryers for$1.25/each open 24/7

Garbage dumpster 

Dump station(was closed when we were there) 

Exercise room 

Back in sites are$23 for escapee members and$28 for non members. Pull through sites are a few dollars more. 

Weak Verizon and AT&T with occasional streaming if you don’t mind waiting for buffering.

360 full hook ups. 100 water and electric only spots. Lots of dry camping spots. Heated pool, laundromat and on site restaurant.

Nice place. 30 min from State Farm Stadium. Full hook ups but we had a 42 foot trailer with sewage towards the back of trailer and their sewage dump was towards the front of trailer. Couldn’t dump until we were leaving

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!

Right on freeway, so very loud. In somewhat sketchy neighborhood, but really, no problems. Quiet park with some long term folks. Convenient to all of Phoenix.

Very spacious sites plenty of room for our 37’ with slides out and our tow car! Full hook up site, great amenities and friendly staff!

CAVEAT: As a woman traveling alone, I didn't feel comfortable stopping to ask questions here, much less stay, but your experience and comfort level may differ.

Gila Bend is a charming little bump in the road between Phoenix and San Diego. It has a very Mexican feel to it, with souvenir shops and a good old-fashioned carneceria, and is also home to the Space Age Restaurant, which some consider a must-visit.

This particular RV park, however, would probably not be your first choice of places to stay, even though the other cheap choices here would be the parking lots at Pilot (east end) or Love's (west end). Someone has tried to liven up the fence line with new bougainvillea plants, but in general the place looks rundown/slumlike, and is mostly fixed-in-place mobile homes, not RV spaces. There are one or two places where mobile homes have just been left to decay where they sit, and there was a large trailerload of debris outside the office that looked like it had been there for quite a while. Given that the beautiful and pristine Painted Rock BLM park is only 30 minutes down the road and about a fifth to a third the cost, I'd give this one a miss.

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.

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.

This place is a dump. Dirty, dusty gravel parking lot with people right on top of you. Spaces are not even close to level. Not the place to hang out if you have Covid concerns. Might be ok for a quick overnight. Better to head south to Wickenburg and check out their dispersed camping and RV parks

Our second time here. Good Sam rates available.

This is an extremely well-maintained park. Campsites are nice sized and well spaced with some shrubs and trees. Bathrooms and showers were spotless. Beautiful pool. Management is very accommodating and efficient. Covid safe.
I am not sure why it was listed within Good Sam but we were unable to get a good Sam discount. 47.50 is a bit more than we are used to paying as full time traveling RVers.

If there isn’t a rodeo across the street then this is an excellent place to stop for a night if you’re passing through to Tucson like we were. Each site has a nice fire pit and the ground is pretty level - lots of RV parking. Much more sites than I read about too. Around 30 sites. Not “8” like the website read. Definitely not a place you stay more than one night though.

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
