Desert Shadows RV Resort

RVer's BEWARE DO NOT STAY! 11/20/25 - We booked a two week stay here at Desert Shadows RV Resort to visit friends while on our way to our winter destination. We were aware of the reviews concerning E-Bike theft and took all of the precautions to secure our e-bikes upon arrival. In fact, we used ABUS and Kryptonite locks to secure the bikes to the rear wheel of our motorhome (essentially they were double locked) and to each other. At 3:54am on 11/20/25 we were awakened by a grinding noise outside of the motorhome and looked out our bedroom window and there were two men using an angle grinder with sparks flying everywhere cutting the locks. I immediately turned on all lights and opened entry door and looked back and could see them although it was dark and raining. I yelled get out of here and one of the guys yelled back you get out of here and they began to drag the bikes across the rear of the space in the rock. I closed and locked the door and called 911 and Phoenix PD arrived within a few minutes. Two Phoenix PD officers responded, took a report and patrolled the park and local neighborhood for almost an hour with no luck. To our surprise, this park has no cameras and no security at all and is not gated whatsoever allowing anyone and everyone to just drive in. The short term stay spaces for RVer's is located on the two rows as you enter the park providing quick and easy access to those of us RVer's and a quick getaway for thieves. Needless to say, this park is not secure nor safe in this area of town. Will never stay here again and will not recommend to anyone!!

There was too much crime in the area for an rv resort to be un gated. The lock was cut off 2 electric bikes and stolen from a couple on the first and only night they were there 10/10/25. We were advised by residents that it was a common occurrence. We didn’t feel secure staying there. I can’t , for the life of me, understand why they won’t invest in security and/or a gate.

My wife and I tried reserving a spot for 3 nights and were told they would not allow only allow 2 dogs. We have 2 pets and 1 service animal. When we tried to explain that they can’t discriminate against a service animal the manager said that since she can’t discriminate against the animal she would just refuse to rent to us in general. Absolutely uncalled for and I hope she has the day she deserves.

My relatives stayed in the park recently. One of the RV,s near them had their $,2000.00 electric bike cut off the back of their bike rack attached to their RV in the middle of the night. They actually said they could hear the thieves cutting it with some electric saw in the middle of the night. I question why such a big RV park would not invest in a gate at the front of the park as a deterrent which would be a small expense to protect your residents. The Park location is in the City and anyone can come in freely in the middle of the night or at any time. To ownership: Protect your customers and invest in a security gate to protect your residents before something really bad could happen other than a stolen electric bike.
