We stayed here for 10 days and overall it was a nice and clean shower, bathroom, laundry $$$ and pool area. The office staff were polite but not efficient in accounting. They blamed their mistakes on the computer not functioning. We got a veteran discount but the extra taxes were similar to hotel taxes. We stayed at many rv resorts across U.S. and never charged extra taxes similar to hotel taxes. We had our own rv and just rented a site space! Also, my dog didn’t want to go to their little dog park, there was hardly no shade, trees or grass and it smelled badly. It could have been managed better. When I return to Tucson, I will find another rv resort and will not be paying high taxes.

This is a 50 and older RV and Doublewide hms community. That has a clubhouse gym, pool & hot tenants only.

My sister has been shopping for a seasonal Park Model in Pima County. I have been looking for a long term space to anchor my C-Class RV. We decided to give South Forty a test ride with a one month stay. The front desk staff are very friendly but, not properly trained. The husband/wife management team are not on property at all times but travel to other parks, by direction, which are held by the same owner (who is focused on expanding and growing with the intent and purpose of aquiring additional properties). Upon arrival, I refused to pay a significantly higher rate than quoted (rates increased) when I made the deposit payment. It took more than a week (due to availability of management) to resolve the issue. The resolution was me moving and they keeping my deposit. This is not a sustainable business model! And, most significantly, the current resident attempting to sell their home lost my Sister as buyer. Seems a bit predatory, to me, when I reference AZ Statutes (verbal rental agreements are valid and enforceable) and they responded with aggressive interrupting and raising their voices. How can anyone get any issues resolved when met with raw hostility? I wish the best of luck to ALL the unfortunate, current residents who are trying to sell and get out!

The office staff could not be nicer! The camp hosts are super helpful. This place is clean and kept. Love how quiet it is here.

Nice park. My wife and I stayed here on an annual. Quite area and pretty clean. The lot sizes are small and tight. We are in a forty foot camper pulled by an F250. Although it was tricky, we were able to manage. This resort is very convenient to local shopping and tourist stuff. We do not recommend staying here June through September because of the Tucson heat. Definitely not the parks fault. Swimming pool and hot tub are nice and clean. Club house is good. I would definitely recommend this park to friends and family.
