Tra-Tel RV Park - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Tra-Tel RV Park sits temporarily closed in Tucson, with ownership transferring as of 2023. The 40-foot maximum RV park previously provided full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections along with WiFi access. One reviewer noted the grounds were well-maintained with reasonable rates during their month-long stay.

The closure particularly impacts younger snowbirds, as Tucson has limited RV parks accepting guests under 55 during winter months. Prince of Tucson RV Park operates directly across the street, though reviewers mention interstate noise and smaller sites as considerations for that alternative.

Many campers appreciated the well-maintained grounds, friendly management team, and reasonable rates. The park is currently closed due to ownership transfer with reopening timeline uncertain.

Not Operational 2023

We stayed here between Nov 21-Apr 22 while snow birding in Tucson because, unfortunately, there are only three RV parks in Tucson that allow for people under 55 to stay during the winter, which I find absolutely ridiculous.

Anyway, we booked to snow bird again this year back in Feb, but received a phone call last month that they are transferring ownership of the RV park and will not be open in 2023. Not sure when they will be open.

It would have been nice if we had been told sooner, although it’s possible it happened suddenly. But since there are only 2 other parks that will allow a childless couple in their 30s to snow bird, we were left scrambling for a new booking. The other two parks are Prince of Tucson and the Tucson KOA.

Prince of Tucson is directly across from Tra Tel but we didn’t want to stay there because it’s right by the interstate ramp and very loud plus the sites are small. So that left the KOA which is VERY expensive, but was our only option. When I called, there were 2 sites left and we got 1.

Just wanted to let people know this park is out of commission for a while and good luck finding an alternative if you’re not retirement age

Cozy and Kind

Nice, clean campground, clean laundry, with debit card pay. Managers, Terry and Sarah, we’re just the best. Friendly, helpful, we came away as new friends.

Friendly staff

We spent about a month at the Tra-Tel and found the grounds well kept, the staff very friendly, the rates reasonable, and the location ideal. We’d definitely stay here again if coming through.
