Wonderful people running the park!

Love Gateway Ranch. The park model we stayed in was very clean. Bed was comfortable for us both. Slept very well. Summer hours are shortened so check first before just showing up. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Watch your speed going through Brenda on Hwy 60. I got a warning! Very fortunate that the officer was in a good mood! ☺️

My off-road group stayed here when they were first opening the Park. The trail access is great. there are a lot of trails to ride in the area. We continued to stay in town because of the proximity of places to eat and meet.

The owner is not very nice. She picks about almost anything if you live here year round. Don't want it to look like you live here just camping. She doesn't like semi truck use to pull your camper. It has to look nice 😎.

A diamond in the rough worthy of 5 stars given it's incredible value. We arrived around 4:30 pm on a Saturday. The office was closed. The manager told me the day before our site would be #48. However, #48 was occupied by a large, fully set-up Class A. We managed to track down the manager who was most apologetic. Turns out #48 overstayed its reservation. She found us another site which I liked even better. The sites are very spacious with full hookups. The clubhouse (a double wide mobile home) has a fully equipped kitchen, 2 private and very clean bathrooms with shower, an expansive back deck, and sewing machines; a separate mobile home houses laundry machines. The park is surrounded by public land, making for great hikes and bike rides (and UTV rides if you have one). For $25/night, and being just 20 minutes east of Quartzsite, it's hard to beat!
