Best Cabin Camping near Wellton, AZ

This is a 55 plus retirement RV community. Daily weekly and monthly rates. Full hookups with 30 or 50 amp. It is tidy and clean clean clean.

The common amenities include a saltwater swimming pool with water aerobics at 8:30 daily, a hot tub that seats 9, a game room, a lending library packed full of every genre of book imaginable, puzzles and DVDs, a billiard room with four tables, a massive laundry area. Laundry is $1.75 for wash and the same for drying.

There is shuffleboard court, a common area for barbecuing and an evening fire pit, and a recreation room. Right now, the recreation room and shuffleboard are closed because the real season does not start until about November.

Some people say the water in Yuma taste funny so they have filtered water for sale for a dollar for 5 gallons or 25 cents for 1 gallon.

The office staff is extra helpful and friendly. They gave us great suggestions for local restaurants and other services we were needing.

Quiet, clean, remote little military family camp on Lake Martinez with concrete RV sites and full hook ups, 50 amp electric only, but they have a loaner 30 amp adapter if they can find it. Park models and cabins available for those who do not tent camp or RV. Various types of water craft available for rent and limited docking for your own boat.

Easy to get camp site reservations in Summer. Have not tried here in winter as the place fills up with military retirees/ snow birds.

Staff on the other hand is mentally lost at best. Seems like they don’t really know what’s what most of the time ( refer back to the 50/30 amp adaptor that they usually can’t find as their storage location is on the floor beside the desk). The store is adequately stocked with alcohol, USMC souvenirs, but very lacking the things campers need most often, ie toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap etc. they don’t even sell popcorn, how can one camp without popcorn.

Despite the “lost in space” staff and the “non” mercantile in a remote place, I give this place 4 stars as it is quiet, inexpensive and a great little spot away from the city.

My family and I recently stayed at Bonita Mesa RV Resort, and while it does allow children, there are some drawbacks. Firstly, they charge$10 per night for every person over two people, which can add up quickly. We ended up paying $89 with the"having children" penalty. Additionally, they do not allow more than two pets, although we saw many sites with multiple dogs. Unfortunately, we also found that the campground was not clean, and the sites were incredibly tight. If you have more than two cars, it can be difficult to find a place to park. I also suggest not letting the RV host help you park if you have a big rig, as they were very kind but caused more harm than help. On a positive note, the pool was clean and some hours were set aside for children. The laundry room was also great, but again, the price didn't justify it. Overall, finding a decent campground in Yuma can be a challenge, especially if you have a family. While Bonita Mesa RV Resort does allow children, the drawbacks may not make it worth the price. If you have a family, I suggest finding somewhere else to stay.

We stayed here in Jan/Feb and really enjoyed the sunny, warm weather and vibe at Cactus Gardens. The staff was friendly and there are lots of activities to do. There are 30/50 amp FHU sites and all are back-in. They are a little narrow, but a wide road for maneuvering. There is a pool, huge dog park, darts, shuffleboard, park, billiards, library, laundry, and community room. It is centrally located in Yuma and close to everything, including the Mexico border. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. 👍🏻😬

It is an easy thirty or forty minutes to a gas station so fill up when you see the Circle K and Chevron next to each other if coming from Yuma.  If coming from the north Quartzsite is probably your last chance for gas.  It is in the middle of nothing and nowhere, a little oasis with little to no cellphone signal.  The roads are currently undergoing heavy upgrading so be ready for long travel times and keep an eye out for the wildlife at night.  It was easily over 100F so the water feels nice.  They are currently waiting on their own motorized equipment but until it is ready you can still rent paddle boards and the like to go on the water.

As noted in other reviews the sites are water and electric only with no dumpsite.  The sites are almost on top of one another as well.  We had enough room to use our picnic table between our camper and the slide out of the fifth wheel next to us.  The camper on our other side was in a similar situation.  The sites back right up to the water.  If you are looking to lose yourself for a few days, this is the place.  The store packs the basics to include ice.

I really liked my stay. Limited to no WiFi Verison.

Once you leave I-8 it’s about 35-55 minutes back to major services. I hear Fischer’s Landing has a new convenience store. The office has beer, soft drinks and a few choices of hard stuff. The RV pads are cement and level. Our rig is 24 feet and we fit very well on the pad. This is a military only facility so you must be either active duty or retired to utilize. The description says “full hookup” but alas, it is only electric and water. The electric service is only 50 amp (I noted that in a prior review, thank you for the warning). An 50 to 30 adapter is a good thing to have and it worked flawless. The water pressure is very adequate. I would definitely make this a come back to place. The park staff were extremely helpful. When we left, we turn right at the access road to Fischer’s Landing. The dump station is in the screen building with all the golf carts, this is to the left of the store. The screen door is unlocked. You will find the key for the dump station padlock hanging by a 2” piece of pvc pipe. There is a lock box next to it. The cost is $5.00 to dump. It’s on the Pooh honor system, which I found very cool. There is also attached non potable water hose for tank flush out. A bit inconvenient if staying a month but a day or two was no problem.
