This was our 63 Wedding Anniversary, June 2025

My wife and I have always wanted to visit The White Mountains in Arizona since over the years we've gone by several times on I40.  We decided to visit and  Ponderosa RV Resort in Lakeside sounded pretty good, 55+was great to not worry about being hit by energetic kids (I'm on a cane) or noisy teens and young adults.  We were there to RELAX and enjoy the tall pines and cool weather, which we do not get in  Las Vegas, NV.  The park is great and they have a lot of activities in the clubhouse.  There are some full time residents which is GREAT, they are super friendly and helpful.  The whole area: Show Low, Lakeside & Pinetop are all blessed with friendly and courteous people,  It's almost like somehow they have sprinkled LOVE and PEACE in the air.  We have a Class C and tow a Jeep and have been in several RV camp grounds and  Ponderosa RV Resort is the best for relaxing and enjoying nature and friendly people!!!!

Adult Oriented CG In The Pines

We spent 5-nights here (July 1-6, 2022). Ponderosa is a reasonably quiet (“home improvement” construction next door to us), adult oriented, RV park in the pines(we had apple trees) of Pinetop. I wouldn’t call Ponderosa a RV Resort as it’s more a trailer park with the vast majority of occupants being long term tenants. It is a relatively easy access CG with back-in and pull through (8?) gravel sites. It is a good base camp to visit the area. There are plenty local attractions: lakes, rivers and streams, wilderness and national forests. Activities include: fishing, biking (wish I brought my mtn bike), hiking/walking and ATV trails. We did not make use of the laundry, bathrooms or showers. The WiFi was good as was cell phone reception. We might stay here again.
