Excellent venue for our extremely large RV. Easy access, escort to our site, though not really needed, level, spacious, quiet! And cherry 🍒 on top was the wonderful area guide included in the park map. Highly recommend bypassing Phoenix entirely and swinging by Gila Bend and stay at Sonoran Desert RV Park

Had a great rest stay at Sonoran Desert RV Park. Stayed in a Deluxe Pull Thru with had a dog pen right on site. It also had a propane fire feature and a BBQ. The town is, unfortunately, is fading, and most sightseeing is miles away. There were a couple of dollar saver stores, several mexican restaurants, pizza parlor, and a souvenir store. Very quiet, easy in and out, super friendly staff, made for a relaxing break after driving 900 miles over 3 days.

This RV resort is an easy on and off from I-8 near Gila Bend, AZ. While close to the freeway it is very quiet at night. Huge sites, super big rig friendly, warm pool, clean bathrooms and laundry. They have scheduled activities every day in the winter. There is a dog rescue on site as well! Very pet friendly. Will be back!

Very nice place! We typically boondock but stopped in to get cleaned up. This is the best RV park we've been to. Spacious, clean, with thoughtful amenities throughout, it's clear that the owners put a lot of time and care into the park. Highly recommend

Great park! Highly recommend. We are traveling across country and needed a one-night stay. Perfectly maintained sites. Beautiful and purposefully landscaped.(it is the desert, lots of colorful rocks and rounded stone gravel.). All the amenities are just as described .Owners are very nice and helpful.
