This place has been sprayed with toxic chemicals to kill weeds. The weeds are everywhere and they're still spraying. They didn't post a sign. Please be careful not to walk ur pets inside the park. Especially near the dead weeds.

Right outside of Yuma, AZ. Great place to stay. Note to self, not to visit during off season due to the high heat temperatures. Poor air conditioner and refrigerator were working overtime. No reflection on the campground, it's mother nature. I was just passing through to my next destination. Definitely will return. I highly recommend staying at this park. Sites were level, bathrooms were clean, they have a nice work out room, common area, game room, pool and spa. My TMobile worked perfectly for my work from home job. Made a couple friends too. Thank you Keen for your hospitality. Happy and safe travels.

Great campground! ZERO issues with 50 amp power during stay (that is SUPER rare these days!). Staff is super friendly and keeps everything clean. Pool is heated, hot tub is hot. No playground for younger kids. Fence along perimeter with dog walk area outside of fence (and of course the nasty, trifling people who don't pick up their dogs poop 🙄), but it's easy enough to get to a cleaner area. Scorpion hunting at night was super exciting (for me!), no scorpions found in campground, but just outside the fence was a winner every time. Close to Yuma, 2.5 hours to San Diego, 20 mins to Los Algodones.

We stayed as Thousand Trails guest and it’s one of the better TT campgrounds we’ve experienced. Sure there’s the interstate and railroad tracks in the distance, but that’s to be expected in certain areas. The campground is very well maintained, sites are spacious with full hookups and the pool and jacuzzi are kept warm and clean as well.
