Desert Shadows RV Resort

I don't know what people are complaining about. Did you not look at pictures? Complaining about the streets at the park? They are fine. What do you want? Streets paved in gold? Complaining about the rocks and can't push a stroller in them. You can't walk a few feet to the sidewalk and put your child in it there? Complaining about all the dust. What do you expect? You're in Arizona, not a tropical rainforest or the Midwest where humidity keeps the dust levels low. Unless, of course, you go to some parts of Iowa where every square mile that's not a highway is gravel and dusty. Unfortunately, some have had their ebikes stolen. We don't have any, but we were warned and I believe there's a sign up by the office or on entering the resort that mentions taking precautions. Overgrown weeds? Sure there are some coming up in the rocks at sights. We had them as well. If it bothered me I would be pulling them out! I've seen the ground keeper out there taking care of them. The people in the office? I've never had a problem or attitude from them. Perhaps those that have were giving off a bad vibe. I don't know. No one likes a sourpuss. If there is anything I could complain about is the road noise from the highways. The cars and trucks and motorcycles that think it's a speedway. But what can you expect? It's Phoenix for pete sake! That's why I gave the location 4 stars. You get used to it. We were there 4 months, loved it! Gradually learning where to go shopping for groceries in better neighborhoods where it wasn't so sketchy. It takes time. Ask around. It's not the resorts fault if you go somewhere that freaked you out. We loved it there and made some great friends from not only permanent residents, but from people from numerous states. We look forward to coming again. This time for 5 months! Be happy and have some pie 🥧

What a lovely community. This RV resort is clean, its residents respectful and kind. This resort offers clean spaces with water, sewer, power is not included in space rental so be prepared for that add On if you choose long term stay. It’s a fair price. Also, this sweet community offers daily activities from morning aquatics class, country line dance class, weekly evening Bingo with cash buy in and cash pay out. They also have a theater group who put together some family friendly performances. We enjoyed the opportunity of watching. This community is very active with pickleball courts, corn hole, mini golf. But, wait there’s more the pool and hot tube and Both Gendered changing showering areas. The only drawback is the early closing time. 9pm is acceptable, however, your competitors offer a 10pm out. All in all we throughly loved our experience.

Had a great 4 night stay for our granddaughters softball tournament jan 22-26. Office staff was very helpful in getting our good sam discount and we had forgotten our card at home. Bathrooms and showers very clean. Friendly folks everywhere in the park. I have one suggestion though. Speed limit in the permanent section is 15. Send a reminder to the long timers that pass through the rv area to 29 th street to drive a little slower. Some were doing well over 30 mph.

Stayed here for around 11 months in my travel trailer while working at a hospital in the area. Found the facility and camp site to be very nice and clean! The staff was exceptional and knew me by first name. They have daily activities, indoor pool, pool table room, laundromat, arts and crafts room, outdoor ice machine and much more! The roads and sites are in great shape, plenty of room to get large campers and rvs in without sweating bullets lol. Pricing was fair and straight forward. Definitely plan to stay here again if I’m in the area!

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!!
