Hon-Dah RV Park Lakeside AZ | White Mountain RV Resort

We love going to this place. It could be a little confusing to get around the first time but if you ask someone will lead you to your spot! Quite, roomy sites that make you feel like your in the forest. Make sure to call for reservations as this place seems to always be full witch is a good problem to have!

Beautiful campground. Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate this RV park. It's really nice and secluded. After a 12 hour day of driving, we arrived and everyone in the office was very kind. We were really exhausted. And, that's where it all began...the maze. She drew our spot on the map and it looked simple enough to find, until you actually got into the campground. The street signs are hard to read. The street names and numbers didn't coordinate with the map. We've managed and worked at campgrounds with hundreds of sites before. We literally drove in circles trying to find our spot. I understand it's difficult to find people to escort to a site. Times are tough. But, oh my word, if this would have been during busy season, it would have been an accident waiting to happen. Luckily, it's off season and we only encountered a couple of vehicles while driving the maze. It took us 15 minutes only because we are both typically good at map reading and understanding how number sequences work. For the average camper who hasn't worked at a campground, this would be terrible. We have to run errands during our stay and I'll admit I am a bit anxious about finding our site again. We may have to lay an M n M trail to find it. Lol!. Outside of that, this really is a gorgeous campground with super friendly Ladies in the office. 4 stars only because of the direction issues.

I am ambivalent about this one. The park setting is great as it is in a beautiful pine forrest. The sites are mostly nice and spaceous. Be careful, though, there are exceptions such as crossroad pull throughs.
Now we go downhill. The park roads layout is a bewildering Cretan labyrinth like the back streets in Venice. Not all the roads have clear signs and the site numbers are hard to see. Don't try to find your site at night. Given all of that, it would be nice to get an escort to your site the first time.These roads are also quite full of potholes and axle cracking speed bumps every few dozen yards. The 5 mph speed limit here is insane, but exceed that and you will get finger wagging.
There are three laundromats here, but in two of them every last machine was out of order. In the third one 2/3 of the machines were in the same condition.
In general, this park had an air and look of not being very well maintained.

In late September the temperature was perfect. It seems there are plenty of longer term tenants that have made a home here. Although each lot looked clean and well kept. I would assume with the long term tenants, this RV Park is preferable. From my 2 day stay, I can't complain. It was peaceful and still carried the nature vibe, especially with the random squirrel wandering about. The shower room was very clean and temperature controlled. The outlet didn't work however. I would definitely come back to stay in the future.

We really enjoy staying here, we've been 4 different times and the spaces we have stayed in were all roomy and clean. The park now has over 700 spaces, so look online at the park map before you call and choose several spots you think you might like. They do have 2 laundry rooms that were large and clean too. The last spot we stayed at was in the new area and our spot was ALL ankle breaker size rocks, so I spent a lot of time clearing those off that spot. You're welcome.  🤣

I looked on the website it said they have monthly sites. So we drive over . The lady behind the desk was talking to me like she didn't want to be there. And said no you can only stay 3 weeks then leave for 3 weeks and pay a weekly rate of over $200. If you want to stay a month then you got to reserve it in October so I figured they were full. Nope not even close I drove through the long term area it was half empty. And I have a friend staying there and he said he has never heard of reserving in October he didn't.  And monthly rent is a little over 500 . So I  see it as they just want more money. Will not go back.

Much nicer than expected. Our space was clean, quiet, and in the tall pines.  Staff helpful and friendly. Right across the street from the restaurant/casino. We'll stay there again next time we're in the Show Low area.

This place is huge! Got there @ dusk missed the entrance & omg to find the spot was bad.. overall was a quiet & nice spot for the night. Great price as well

Just some random observations after staying a week towards the back (300's to 400's) where most permanent residents are. Certainly a more quiet area than the smaller spaces nearer to the front and noisy road.

The cable is good with many channels (I believe from Direct TV). There are glitches, like streaks and dashes that occur randomly and sometimes it will freeze, but otherwise better than needing a dish. Be aware you will need a TV with a Clear QAM tuner that is made to receive cable channels, not just OTA signals (There's no OTA stations). Some cheaper TV's don't have this, even those Seiki's in our 2016 Thor. We had to go to Walmart to get a new TV (TCL) to replace ours.

Roads are somewhat hard to walk on - very clumpy brown dirt and rocks, but cooler than the decorative rock at the site which can burn dogs feet at mid-day. There is a water truck that waters down the dirt throughout day to keep dirt down.
It can easily get to 90 deg or more in mid- July. So A/C needed during day and heater by early morning (54 deg). Many days can be around 82 deg for a high in rainy weather.

Power remained stable, even through a storm or two. Only one glitch.

The free WiFi is just terrible. Could hardly connect most of time on any devices. Had to rely on cell phone service for internet access. May depend on where antennas are located in relation to your spot.

The water can smell bad on occasion. I don't know why.

Nighttime - tall ponderosa pines block most stars. Very bright at night due to people's decorative lights all around and under vehicles. No road lighting thank goodness.

Very calm winds for monsoon season.

Gas is cheapest at the Hon Dah Mini Mart. Just buy your water elsewhere like Walmart or Safeway.

The Casino uses older machines and tables are not always open.

Get a spot with pines providing shade. The spaces are quite large towards the back. They have 500 spaces now and are building 300 more towards the back which should be ready by next year.

Basically, it's a good place to stay cool for a while in mid-summer, if only they improve the WiFi. If you have Starlink, you're good!
No ants or nasty bugs to speak of. No animals except for a few squirrels and wild horses walking around.

Stayed at the RV several times and it's always a great experience. The long term residents are so nice and welcoming and the office staff is exceptional. We love it there all the beauty of wilderness camping paired perfectly with creature comfort.

Lay out of park is crazy, its huge with more spaces being added. easy to get turned around. Our group was at least half a mile from one another. Reasonably priced.

Let's be real, for you folks that don't know or are just starting out you might think casinos aren't bad. I retired 25 years ago and traveled from Phoenix to N Y during that time and there's very few people that have been in more casino than me.  oh u might win a few bucks here and there but your not going to win like we did before the virus. Forget it your just not going to win like yesterday bottom line
