Butterfield RV Resort & Observatory

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.

A hidden gem. We are staying for almost a month here and it has been so wonderful. Friendly, helpful staff. Extremely clean facilities. The pool and hot tub are down but that doesn’t bother me. A peaceful place with Safeway literally next door and Tractor Supply across the street alongside the post office. Highly recommend.

This place is great. Nice quiet RV park with groceries and other shopping nearby. The neighbors are all very nice. They have a few dog parks in the park, a pool, a community center, a telescope and more. They also have some park models for sale.

Very clean. Wonderful free observatory. They are not set up for long pull thru so had to disconnect & leave our car trailer in excess parking area

Best RV Resort in the area! To start, unfortunately I didn't get a whole lot of videos or pictures. But I do have a lot to say LOL. We stayed from November-February (2024-2025) This is in all ages Park. Which was important to us as we are a young family. The people here are great! We were able to find friendship and community in our time here! Everyday maintenance would come around and sweep and clean the the roads. Keeping the grounds very neat and tidy! They are remodeling the pool. They offer a indoor gma, laundry, pool table and recreational room. They also have a separate recreational hall where they host multiple events. Weekly poker games and dancing filled these Halls with fun and laughter! Our family really enjoyed the craft shows that they held in December and February! The girls will never forget their time here because of this! An added bonus was the awesome observatory RV park has to offer. A unique experience to observe the Stars and planets in our solar system! Clear Arizona skies allowed a magnificent show! The staff in the office were all so friendly! Made you feel like family and that's hard to find nowadays! Thanks again for our home away from home! If we ever come back to visit the area we will definitely stay in Butterfield RV Resort!

It's your typical RV resort where spaces are close together. Our site was less than desirable due to the steep incline front and back, so it made it difficult to use the entire site. The people at the desk are very friendly and helpful as well as all the workers and guests. The pool and hot tub were out of commission while we were there, so that was a bummer. They have a nice pickle ball court and a little mini putting course. Beware that there are a lot of trains all through the night that like to blow their horns and there's also a hospital near by, so there's sirens and helicopters quite often as well. We loved that it was near some great attractions!

Well kept park with big mounds you have to pull your rv up ( low Riggs with jacks beware ) and zero room to roll awnings.This is not a family friendly environment at all. Upon arrival received a lecture about children and a 20 line items page about dogs. Belittling memorandums posted in the office and bulletin board. I would think with the age group of this park ( baby boomers ) this verbiage would not be tolerated. I found it appalling that management would condone such rubbish. Keep rolling if you have a choice and especially if you have children don’t expose them to such a negative atmosphere.

A nice RV Park. We stay a few years back and some friends came to town and they stayed here. They enjoyed their stay as much as we did when we last stayed. The people were very nice and the place was well maintained.

This is a beautiful, spotlessly clean park. Great staff and good area in this small town. The only thing to grump about is the listed WiFi is privately provided and you have to pay for all but the slowest limited option. Great place, would come back.

Very nice small park. We have stayed a number of times when traveling I10. Yes the trains run by a few city blocks away. (Seems that pretty standard in the I 10 corridor). Clean, well organized, groceries and all necessary services very close. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The resort is a very close-knit elderly community with mostly longer term people residing here. This is not a typical long-term park though, because all the RVs are well taken care of and the sites are very neat and well kept. The park has some great amenities; a pool, jacuzzi, dog walk areas, clubhouse, pool, laundry, pickle ball court and an observatory. Just remember that they will not run observatory night if it's cloudy, rainy, or windy. We did get to see the deep skies on observatory night, and the host was very knowledgable and fun to talk to. The ladies is the office are good at what they do and are also very nice. The resort allows mail, and it was awesome to get some things while here. The only reason I gave it just 4 stars is because the sites are so very close together. So much so that most awnings can not be used, and we were looking at other peoples' windows all the time and had no privacy unless we closed all the shades. This made the stay itself unpleasant. The resort is also close to train tracks, so don't plant to get much sleep if you're not used to trains. I believe the resort is one of the nicest in the area. If you don't want to stare into someones window, I would suggest staying at the resort north of here for the same price. Otherwise, this is a good stopover if you like the amenities and don't mind the close proximity to others.
