We have been to this park for the last three years. It is a great park, many amenities and close to shopping. The park is also close to many other areas outside the park. Bisbee, Sierra Vista and Tucson are each around 30 minutes away. The Managers of the park are new and we can see a great deal of improvement in the park. Jeff and Tammy are very personable and really go out of their way to make people feel welcome in the park. They follow the rules which is also very good for the park. This is a great park we love it here. We will be back next year.

Our 6 month stay here was bizarre to say the least. After being there for a couple of months we started hearing about a few couples being singled out as troublemakers. One couple was asked to leave because they questioned the management's demands to know who they had sold their little mobile building to. To date there have been over 8 campers kicked out of the park. When asked why they are told they didn't follow the rules. When they asked management what rules they had broken they are not given an answer but instead told they had harassed the management or managements employees. Everything out of the managers mouth is either a lie or gross exaduration. The group kicked out are said to be troublemakers by current management but in truth they made the mistake of asking "why" regarding some policy changes made by current management. Personally we have never experienced anything like this. We witnessed threats, bullying, targeting and harassment. What we didn't experience was customer service. Since leaving the park of our own accord we have been harassed by current management and we are now viewed as one of the troublemakers group. Needless to say, we won't be back.

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.

A great facility. Just know many elderly retirees are plagued with demintia or beginning stages of it. Retirees struggling with retirement, and societal rejection, they need to volunteer outside the RV park. Having said that, this is a well run RV Park.

On one hand, this is a spotlessly clean park with a great observatory, beautifully maintained pool and a few other facilities you will seldom see... like a wood shop you can use! And they have a 5 star Woodalls rating! On the other hand...there is not a blade of grass in site, just pavement and stone, even in the dog run. There are a few decorative plants and trees but don't expect any shade. Another big negative is that there are railroad tracks only a block away and these tracks are very busy...like one train every 45 minutes or so...and these are huge trains with 3 engines pulling and 2 more pushing! Very noisy all the time! All in all we didn't care for it very much. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group

Benson, AZ – Butterfield RV Resort and Observatory 251 South Ocotillo Avenue Benson, AZ 85602; 520-586-4400 or 800-863-8160. All sites are FHU including Cable. Some of the Cable channels were sort of less than crisp (it is analog cable) but we got plenty of choices. There are 173 sites with many park models and seasonal sites, but there also several rows of sites for short term visitors as well. The park is very neat; the blacktop roads are wide, and the sites are mostly blacktop, though one row I saw was gravel. Each site has a picnic table. Since this is the desert, the areas between sites are gravel but unlike some desert parks we have visited, this one has lots of pine trees, so there is some shade and it is not dusty. I found it very attractive and thought the sites were far enough apart I did not feel my neighbors were on top of me like some of the parks we have visited this trip. One note – our long pull through site went down on each end and was higher in the middle so we had to use blocks under our stabilizing jacks to get the 5th wheel level. WiFi is provided free through Tengo Internet - we were given 3 codes so we could use the WiFi on 3 different devices. We stayed 3 nights and the WiFi worked every time – I was very happy! There is a very nice heated pool, a spa large enough for 8 people, a putting green, 2 golf driving cages, a pickleball court, a very clean laundry with 8 washers and 8 dryers ($1.50 wash, $1.25 dry), very clean restrooms and showers, a work out room, craft room, ham radio shack, a wood shop, community kitchen and clubhouse, BBQ grills, a library room with a computer area. The park has an observatory but it was cloudy each night we were there so we did not get to enjoy that unusual amenity. One caution – if you are sensitive to railroad noises, there is a track a few blocks from the park and we could hear the train whistles from time to time. They didn’t bother us, but they might some people. The park offers Good Sam, Passport America, Escapees, AAA, military, and Family Motor Coach Association discounts. I would definitely return here. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
