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!

Let me start off by saying I called desert trails RV park home for a year . They went up on my rent at least two times I was charged the deposit and I moved in when my rent come to the second month Jesse was nowhere to be found and her husband messed it up and Jesse thinks that she's able to go into your bank account and start charging what she doesn't tell you is every card that you use on the premises she keeps on a computer and goes in there and hits you with penalties and fees and whatever she sees fit.. the park is dark very very few lights and they lead you to believe that there's a security team out there which there is not the guy comes out once in awhile if Jesse calls him otherwise there's no security you have people that drive through the park still and stuff so you better keep it all chained down there's mobile homes inside the park that Jesse claims or not for rent and she only been some to selective people I needed a cabin for 6 months so my mom could come out of ICU and Jesse told me that she could not rent me a cabin for 6 months that they did not do them long-term and then I find out that there's a guy that's living in a cabin that's been there for a year it's owned by some brothers that are into it for the money only they don't really want to hear you they don't really have any way of contacting them it's all top secret. The park fills up with Rich folks that think they run the place and Jesse allows us to go on so they have a Monday morning b**** session so they judge everybody on the cars and trucks and stuff that you have. I moved in late winter and wasn't told that when summer come that the park would empty out and the classes the food trucks everything would come to a stop except they wanted full rent for the whole entire summer with no discount and it absolutely nothing to do The showers are nice but there's no fans or ACS so it's a sweat box the TV room has two nice size TVs but they overheat in the summer so you can't watch them they shut off and Jesse just doesn't want to hear about it the internet is kept at a low grade lockdown so you can forget about using it cuz it froze you off I was asked to take my truck and park it in the storage area because it wasn't new enough for all the little Rich folks that Jesse was willing to kiss their butt for their money .. it is a beautiful Park but they don't maintain it. They allowed it to grow into a cactus jungle with weeds The park is owned by four or five people out of Phoenix that absolutely dumped no money into this place is really sad!!! 30 amp spot that was not level costed me $950 each month.. I just can't believe that they think it's okay to go into your credit card or your bank card and make changes without contacting you first. .... She will tell you that it's her rights as the park manager Here's an example Management thinks they can just charge your cards Park's not maintained full weeds For the cost of the park the only thing is nice is the pool The gym the pool hall and the TV room are not usable when it's hot outside only refuses to put AC in the windows My advice is possibly find a different Park I would not suggest this one at all the manager and her husband are both pretty hateful Yes I would love for the owners to contact me but I don't believe they will They keep your deposit Jesse where is my deposit???

The park borders on 2 huge parks for easy access to the desert. The manager, Jesse, works tirelessly to help the residents in every possible way.. She is warm, kind and professional, going the extra mile is standard in her daily approach to residents and managing the office. Jesse knows everyone by name and is always ready to lend a warm smile and helping hand.

Loved this RV Park! We stayed 3 weeks in April. Sites are large size, and many offer privacy with trees and mini desert gardens between them. The park's north border backs up to some epic desert trails for mountain biking, hiking, or just quiet walks amongst the lush desert vegetation. The birds sing a constant symphony from dawn to dusk, and lots of other wildlife like coyotes, rabbits, lizards, and great horned owls to observe. Really enjoyed the NO KIDS ALLOWED rule! Made for a nice adult experience with no distracting little human energy! There is a little "mountain" in the middle of the park for great sunset and moonrise views. Most days we didn't even leave the park as there was so much to do on site like a swimming pool, library, gym, laundry room, TV Lounge, and nature, nature, nature!! Definitely recommend!!

Few yrs here now unfortunately no summer travel. New owners. 1st yr new sewer system multiple backhoes huge hole swimming pool size walk through sewer pipes. No more smell. All buildings new wood outside new sheet rock inside fresh paint in and out. Apts by pool Threw out furniture tore up floors. Now new floors new furniture. Swimming pool if it’s cold outside the water is heated. State of the art wood shop best quality money can buy. New state of the art kitchen we still have the old kitchen. Put in new pool tables did like them sent them back now we have high quality pool tables top of the line Putting in new wiring cable Internet phone something else also. Took out the old water pipes planning a weddings venue best sunsets in Arizona here. Who ever cutting the cactus and bushes we have a manicured park now. Everything is upgraded high quality. Great managers really friendly if you treat them good they treat you good treat them bad you get bad back. When the plumbing breaks down from old owner they use quality plumbing parts. Really nice park in the middle of the desert. Even the bic walking paths are manicured. If your coming to Arizona in a rv do yourself a favor. You won’t regret it.

Quite a way from Tucson, but relatively spacious sites for an RV park. Pleasant atmosphere. Quiet. Well managed

Just stopped in for one night while passing thru Tucson area, but we'd definitely return for a longer stay. Nicely laid out park. Friendly folks everywhere. Great views. Close to Saguaro Nat Park.
