Highly attentive and kind manager; above and beyond. This park worked great for my husband and me while working in the area. Thanks ALL !!!

Great launching place for Rocky Point Mexico and beautiful Organ Pipe Ntl. Monument visit. Groceries across the street, stunning BLM land sunsets nearby, downtown plaza just 5 min drive. Ajo Heights Campground is maintained with a highly attentive manager. We decided to stay an extra month Feb and March because we fell in love with Ajo! Our only constructive comment is the owners need to put some money into the showers and laundry.

This is the place to stay in Ajo! Well-kept RV park with full hookups, WIFI, concrete slabs at sites, clean bathroom and laundry, friendly host, and much more charm than spending the night in one of those RV parking lot-style campgrounds. It’s also a great jumping off point for Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. The town of Ajo is lovely and well-restored with lots of active businesses and a beautiful plaza. What a special place.

Great RV park! Nice wide and clean gravel sites helps to keep down the dust. Cable TV was being worked on during our stay, but we didn't come there to watch TV. Cellular service and WiFi bandwidth is very limited, so don't plan on streaming anything.

RV park and manager are awesome, owner - not so much. Skimps on trash service, no security lighting..

Great owners and park! BUT...unwelcoming long-term RVers. Stayed here mid-Jan 2024. Back-in FHU 50 amp. Gravel site with concrete patio. Site #03 in section closest to the road. Staff: Check-in with Zita (Z) was easy and she is extremely nice and welcoming. Overall vibe: The RV park's long-term tenants were NOT welcoming to us short-term folks even though we are quiet and rarely even sit outside. It's not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of. Sites: Gravel with concrete patio. Normal sized sites, not big or small. Well-maintained Grounds: Clean and maintained really well. Coded padlock on dumpster so make sure you remember the code. Bathrooms/Showers: Did not use. Laundry: Did not use. Pool: Did not use. Location: Gas and groceries are directly across the street. Restaurants within 5-10 min. 35 min from Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Access: The RV park is directly off of the main road and easy to pull in. Near highway: Yes. It's not an interstate but it is the one and only main road running from Gila Bend to the border so there is a good amount of regular traffic. Near train: No. Campground WiFi: Unable to connect to it. Cell: Verizon worked well enough for vpn work. Could stream movies just fine. Cell: AT&T slightly spotty but worked well enough for vpn work. Could stream movies but was some buffering along the way.

This park is immaculate! The sites, the bathrooms, the laundry room/library, and the garden are all super nice. Thanks Zita and husband! Also, thanks for being so kind, making sure any issue that arises is attended to promptly! Another nice thing about this park is the others staying there are so thoughtful, and friendly! Will definitely be back!

Great management, huge parking spots, plenty of maneuvering room for big rigs, very clean and well-kept, quiet (although we were there during shoulder season when there weren't many other renters), reliable utilities and reasonable rates. Can't ask for much more than that. We plan to come back.
