My husband and I planned a trip to see some National Parks and enjoy the Southwest of AZ and NM. After staying in some pretty desolate RV parks, we found Dexter Trails to be full of native plants and charm. We were lucky to be on the outer edge where the hiking trails and views of the mountains were great! If you call for reservations, just let the park staff what you are looking for as far as slide outs. Because we booked so close to our arrival, there were no drive through spaces left. The RVs are pretty packed in, but we had plenty of space with a view! This park is close to Saguaro Nat'l Park and the fabulous Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. We visited in late March just before the weather got hot. We'v been to some fabulous RV parks (in the Redwoods), but this park was the best park on our trip!!!!

We had an amazing experience staying at Desert Trails RV Park, from the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, Jesse the Park Manager is very welcoming, helpful and always greets everyone with a smile. Check-in was smooth, and we were given a spacious, well-maintained site with easy hookups. The park itself is clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained. The amenities were clean, restrooms and showers, a well-kept laundry facility, and our site had a strong Wi-Fi, which was a huge plus! The dog park was a great bonus for our pup, and we loved the walking trails nearby. One of the highlights was the sense of community—everyone was friendly, and there were fun activities to join. The location was also perfect, with great access to local attractions, restaurants, and scenic views. Overall, we highly recommend Desert Trails to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back!

I’m giving Desert Trails 5 stars for the following reasons; location to hiking and biking trails right out from the park with gorgeous desert & cactus, beautiful surrounding mountains, a feeling of remoteness from traffic and busy roads (yes, San Joaquin Road can be noisy so getting a site farther from there is necessary in my opinion), and very dog friendly. But the number 1 reason we keep coming back every winter is the community! These are healthy, active, laid back, welcoming people who make this feel like our 2nd home. Jesse, the manager, does a great job of trying to accommodate everyone. It is an aging park with quirks and issues from time to time but the pluses fully negate the minuses in our opinion. If you like the feeling of being in a park with access to amazing trail systems and wonderful people, this is your place. If you prefer sitting in your RV in a fancy fully paved park, this probably isn’t your style.

Your awning will hit your neighbors RV. Yes, the sites are that small. The pool is broken, and appears to have broken quite some time ago. If you still want to stay here, stay as far from the road as you can. The road is just beyond noisy and the neighborhood dogs never, never stop. We have a dog, we are dog people, it’s not that. If you’re staying here to visit Tucson, just know the traffic on this end of town is ridiculous. I’m not usually one to complain about a park, but this place oversells itself and just haves a weird vibe. I will not be staying here again and would not recommend any else does until they put some money into the place.

A great place to call home. We'll be returning next year for an extended stay. Too many pluses to list.

This season they are pussy footing around with overflowing septic systems. The owners do not want to pay for repair of basically anything and now there is a major issue with raw sewage backing up out the dump at various sites. So we cannot dump and so far nothing has been done to remedy this issue. Do the patrons need to call and report this park to the health department?

Been here for just over two months now. And coming back next yr for 4 months. Leaving 5/1. Great old park. Tons of hiking within 10 to 15 minutes or right from the park. Downtown Tucson is just a hop over hills. Relatively close to various shopping centers. Something here for everyone. Food trucks come 3 days out of the week. Tons of activities. Pool. Bands. Just all around a great campground.

We pulled in after a long stressful day. One site was offered then the lady said, I think that's too small. Put us in a pricier site that was undeveloped and dirty. The first site offered was big enough for us... felt like she just wanted to get the extra $10 a night. Shameful. Lots of empty lots... probably because the raised the rates and that pissed people off and they left. $1,000 per month is excessive for this place.

Stayed here for a month from February 15 to March 14, 2024. Thought it was a great place, great experience with management and other rv’er’s. Lots of activities, pool was heated and nice. Bathrooms and showers always clean. Grounds were in good shape and clean. Desert is right next door. This was our first experience in an rv park for the winter and we reserved for 2 months next year. We felt very safe here and it is a quiet 🤫 park.

I like the friendly, quiet environment, the food trucks, and the easy access to Tucson Mountain Park and Saguaro National Park with all the hiking trails. Dec 2022: Back again! That says something. Nov 2023: Back again! Nov 2024: Back again for the fourth year!
