This is the first review I ever authored. I stayed at Valley of the Sun RV park for three months this year (last two prepaid at a discount). This will be the second one star review posted in the last month. Do not stay here if you are a minority or intend to have any overnight visiting guests during your stay. Jim, (identified as one of the owners) told me that, "by law" residents CAN'T have overnight guests, under 55 AND who did not register upon arrival, for more than THREE days. I asked Jim to copy me with the referenced statute. He, instead called and left a voicemail (which is saved) stating that I will be charged $25 daily after the third day. Then the next day Jim called again (I was able to answer this time) and he arbitrarily changed it to "thirty dollars" for each day beyond three. Here's the rub, due to Management, having eyes on all vehicle and pedestrian traffic, don't think they won't be quick to use police to harrass persons they consider undesirables. Oh yeah, my visiting friend happened to be Latino and he was accosted by the Marana PD the FIRST time he walked to the retail store next door. Managment also demanded payment on the SAME day the electric meter was read monthly; no bill, no grace period and the office called my Sister in New York when they could not reach me (the day of the first reading) before close of business. My Sister originally arrived with me and was originally registered as a overnight guest without them blinking an eye. Did I mention my Family happens to be of European ancestry? Finally there are Long term (heavy equipment) projects on the property boundary which starts at 7AM and will require constant sweeping out of the debris entering the vents and windows of your RV.

We love this place because it’s an easy on/off from the freeway, but most importantly is the friendliness of the staff. RV’s park way in the back. It is quiet and we had a good night sleep. Price is great too. In the evening a couple were walking their dogs and said, “welcome to the park.”
