Membership in the Escapees RV Club opens access to this cooperative campground where volunteer members maintain operations year-round. The 55-and-older community sits just outside Benson, with full hookups accommodating RVs up to 50 feet and dry camping sites available for $10 nightly.
The co-op structure creates a different atmosphere than typical RV parks. As one member notes, the park operates "near perfection" with volunteer management eliminating the bias issues found elsewhere. Members handle landscaping, maintenance, and activities, resulting in consistently clean facilities and organized programming. The waiting list for permanent sites stretches several years, with current applicants numbering in the hundreds.
Activities include hiking trails within the park boundaries, along with wood and metal workshops for hands-on projects. Laundry facilities and shower houses serve both temporary visitors and permanent residents. First-time Escapees members receive significant discounts that often cover the annual membership fee. Many sites feature small casitas that provide additional storage or living space.
For campers considering campgrounds near Benson, note that Escapees membership is required for stays here. The cooperative model attracts RVers seeking community involvement rather than traditional campground services.
