I had total reverse shoulder replacements in BOTH shoulders this past winter. John Q. and John O. both worked with me to restore my range of motion and I could not be happier! The PTs here are all talented specialists. Recommend highly.

Pros : large showers , covered pool (never used) , offers full hook ups Cons: hook ups are left and right and extra far away from the middle of your spot. Laundry is cash only but put on a pre paid card. No ATM on sight. Rude staff, Good Sam recommended from 1960's ? Im sure this place thriving with thier all year residents not short stay friendly

I’m writing this review as I sit at this place. I want to point out the number one reason I’m writing this review is the laundry. But there is a list much longer than just the laundry. How they can make it so difficult for a person to be able to do their laundry is actually incredible. They expect you to carry around cash specifically five dollar bills, And then you have to purchase a card that will have money left over on it no matter which way you go about it. It feels like a damn scam and purposeful. I just needed to simply get my laundry done before we On Monday. But no because I’m not walking around with pockets full of cash in five dollar bills and the office isn’t open and there isn’t an ATM to be able to get cash in order to break the bills in order to use their laundry. What a joke, I will never recommend nor come back ever for any reason. Not to mention when we first got here the way the lot is set up is gotta be the stupidest. I’ve seen in a very long time, and I’m traveling the whole country. You got sewer 10 feet to your RV off the left side and water 10 feet to the right on the opposite side and power behind you 20 feet. Gotta be the worst layout I’ve ever seen.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at De Anza RV resort. It’s convenient to Green Valley and all GV has to offer, but also close to wonderful day trips to Patagonia Lake, Tubac, Sonoita wine country, and Mexico to name a few. If you enjoy bicycling or hiking in the mountains you will also enjoy this location.

Absolutely love this park. Every amenity you could want. Great managers, and very friendly residents. 30 minutes to the border or Tucson. 10 minutes to all the shopping you'll need. Beautiful scenery, quiet and clean. Stay here and I promise you won't regret it.
