This is a Beautifully kept park. The train noise a lot of people refer to becomes background noise after a few days. The park is conveniently located for grocery shopping, dinning and local attractions. All sites are spacious with full hook ups and 50 Amp service.

Thanks to Tammy, Jeff and the whole crew at Butterfield RV for such a great stay! The resort is beautiful and well maintained, close to shopping, restaurants, Kartchner Caverns State Park and historical towns like Bisbee and Tombstone. Participated in a few activities, like line dancing and stargazing at the observatory. The pool and spa is a great spot to relax and has been recently renovated. Laundry room is well priced and very clean, and the clubhouse has a pool table, small gym and library that are also very well taken care of. What more could you ask for? We enjoyed our month long stay and hope to return.

I have been living at Butterfield RV Resort for two years this month. Yes, like any place you stay there are park rules/regulations a person has to follow, in which I see no big issues. Keep your site clean and if you have GUESTS they need to sign in at the front office. I read a review stating that the management is next level crazy. Wow, I have never had an issue with management, they are very helpful and easy to deal with, unless you, yourself are not. There is one rule in place that I totally agree with, if you ARE NOT a paying resident/guest here you are not allowed to use the amenities on property unless the guest you are visiting is with you, be it the pool, banquet hall, or club house. Which makes sense due to insurance/safety issues. I have yet to see Tammy running anyone of property unless you don't belong here or you are disturbing other guests, which is in her right to do so, it is her job and managements job to keep their quests safe and happy. I would recommend this resort to everyone, it is beautiful, well kept, and lots to do in the area. Within walking distance to grocery stores, Walmart, restaurants, and hardware stores. Jeff and the team do a wonderful job with the cleanliness of this resort.

Wowza, that manager Tammy is still chasing people out of the park years later since she first was hired bringing in her reign of terror. Do NOT stay here unless you want to be ruled over with an iron fist. The management is next level crazy, the train is loud and the fees associated with all that are not worth it. Plenty of other options in the area,parking on the side of I 10 would be better.
