Great people, amazing prices, and more activities than you’d expect from a place with this many birthdays under its belt. Yes, it’s old—vintage, if we’re being generous—but everyone here is friendly, helpful, and the place has everything you actually need. The only reason it’s not a full 5-star review is because some folks might prefer their RV parks a little less… seasoned.

FHU Sites, laundry, Hot Tub, and other amenities available. Super quiet and very reasonable rates, monthly and seasonal. Highly recommend. Centrally located near everything Quartzsite has to offer.

I’ve stayed at 88 shades and number of times. I find it a comfortable place to stay. I really enjoy their hot tub though it seems not a lot of people take advantage of it. Better for me

We have been coming to this RV park for years, we always use their lapidary room to cut stones and interact with other campers. We've been trying to book a stay for 3 weeks. We've tried calling them everyday, leaving them a message. You can't book on line and NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE. What absolutely horrible their service and communication is. They never called me back. They need to fire who they have, because it's been going downhill since they've been managing the park. They're just horrible. How sad for the owners!!

Decent place, the office staff is pretty nice. Im a resident here most of the year, when it gets to hot i go elsewhere, but always come back.
