As a campsite this place is great. Clean bathrooms. People mind their business. Amenities are 24 hours and its right near blm land. The price was maybe 5 dollars more than I would have liked to pay for dry camping. It was $40 a night. One plus is there is hot coffee in the morning and a great rec room.

This is our third winter in Yuma area and we always like it here. Friendly hosts and good amenities. Don't mind being out of town a bit or the train whistle across the desert. Would stay here all winter if we could but our Thousand Trails make us move every 3 weeks. Thanks Pilot Knob folks!

It was amazing, really clean and taken care of. We were staying out at the Glamis Flats but broke a few of our vehicals and instead of cutting the trip short we just moved to this location. Has a pool, showers, laundry, power, sewer, and water. Also has tent spots with power and water the tent pads are really clean and raked. A few in our group still wanted to go to the dunes so it has access to the dunes about a 30 to 40 min drive to the dunes through the trails. Will definitely stay again.

Highway noise, train noise, helicopters flying over, and planes. Goatheads are terrible. No dressing rooms in shower area. Not enough trees. Laundry room, needs some carts to move wet clothes from washer to dryer. Outside of laundry room needs some lawn chairs, for the people waiting on their laundry. The benches hurt our bones and no support on back. No picnic tables on sites, like orher campgrounds. The Gazebo area is gorgeous, they need to do bonfires. Spaces are small, so they book every other space, as much as they can. They have activities, everyday. Pool is nice and warm, and so is hot tub. Lounge chairs and tables, in pool area are very nice. Most of the people, are very nice! Workers are excellent and very helpful. Haven't met one, I didn't like!!! Look forward to coming back! No hotel, but I think they rent out the tiny homes.

Great small RV park in the desert about 20 minutes from Yuma. The bathrooms are some of the nicest I have seen among the Thousand Trails network, and the heated pool and facilities are kept spotless. The staff has been kind and accommodating. Would happily stay here again, and plan to!
