Situated on the eastern edge of Yuma, the resort provides convenient access to Interstate 8, making arrivals and departures straightforward for even the largest rigs. The surrounding landscape features a unique mix of scenic desert vistas and the lush agricultural fields that define the Yuma Valley. While the park itself serves as a quiet retreat from the bustle, it is located just minutes away from major shopping centers, modern healthcare facilities, and a variety of local dining options. The proximity to the Colorado River adds a layer of natural beauty to the local geography.

The resort is packed with features designed for both recreation and relaxation. Guests can enjoy two sparkling swimming pools and hot tubs, which are perfect for unwinding under the desert sun. For those who enjoy staying active and social, the park includes well-maintained shuffleboard courts, a fitness center, and organized activities within the spacious clubhouse. Practical needs are easily met with full hookup sites, clean laundry facilities, and a dedicated pet area. The community library and billiard room provide additional spaces for indoor leisure during the warmer parts of the day.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Yuma is rich with historic landmarks and outdoor adventures. A short drive from the resort takes visitors to the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park, offering a fascinating glimpse into the region’s rugged frontier past. Nature enthusiasts often visit the West Wetlands Park or spend time on the water at Gateway Park along the Colorado River. For those willing to explore further, the expansive Imperial Sand Dunes provide a stunning backdrop for photography or off-road exploration. Local festivals and farmers markets in downtown Yuma offer a taste of the city’s local culture and commerce.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is an ideal match for seasonal snowbirds and retired travelers looking for a structured community environment with plenty of social engagement. Because it is an age-qualified park, it appeals most to those who appreciate a quieter, adult-oriented atmosphere where neighbors often become lifelong friends.

People rate things on how it served their needs. That said, this park is not a bad park, just didn’t have things that my husband and I look for in a 4/5 star park. The park is older, with mostly park models. The only pull thru sites are up front near the main road which is loud during the day, but not bad at night. Back-in sites are scattered in with the park models and many are not very wide if you have opposing slides. Many also have a dip at the approach which could be problematic for some RVs. The park is clean and there are trash dumpsters on each corner. I also like that they have a dumpster for recycling. The staff is nice and thank goodness there is a camp host working the weekend as the office is closed. Laundry room was clean and updated. All machines use a credit card or the app., no coins. $2.50 per wash and $2.50 per dry. Plus, a small fee was added on with a card. Pool is nice and always clean though they only have 9 lounge chairs. There are tables and chairs as well. Our pull thru site was level and had a concrete pad, however, all hook ups are at the back of the site at the curb. Definitely requires multiple sewer hoses. There are no picnic tables at any sites. Unless you have a small vehicle, and/or a small RV, it is very hard to fit your RV and vehicle on the site. Most trucks were parked at an angle and hung out into the road. Vehicles don’t park next to the RV. The amenities seem more for the residents. Be sure to check the daily activity sheets hung at the pool. The calendar that we received didn’t have all the activities on it. There is no pickleball or bingo at this park. There are so many RV parks in Yuma so do your research.

This place is wonderful and maybe when I finally settled down I will buy a place to stay during the winter, but I enjoy it. It is great.

This park is huge, well kept. They offer many activities during the winter months. There's a pool, a gym, you can even shoot pool. The staff in the office are great as well. The downside is the cliques and gossip. I was invited to a potluck with some of my neighbors and the entire meal was about bashing certain other neighbors, and exclusion of those neighbors rather than keeping an open mind and considering the damage. Mostly this seems to be starting from a couple of women, assumptions which leads to judgment. I guess they never got past this in high school. Definitely not for me. I moved.

We stayed as Thousands Trails guests and had a great experience. The pool was heated and grounds were well maintained. The dog run is a nice amenity and all the residents were friendly. Thank you.

The sites are level and have concrete pads. The spaces are a bit tight, but the park is very well kept and not becoming junky over time, like so many are. They have a lovely pond with green space around it, nice pools and friendly people. The only bad thing about this resort is the road noise. It is located on a very busy road where people frequently speed by, and lots of sirens at all hours. The permanent residents further away from the road are fine, but the short-term RVers are put closest to the road, and it is very noisy. While they do accept pets, the dog park is located outside the park right along that busy road, and they definitely do not want dogs doing their business anywhere inside the park, as there are signs prohibiting it literally everywhere. I carried my little dog to the designated area every time, as I am always respectful of their wishes.

Courtney and her staff once again made our stay the best. Nice party on NYE, good music and food. Great RV park, clean and well managed. Will be back in four weeks, and looking forward to returning.

I'm a Florida gal I understand the benefit of putting barefoot on cool grass, or at least sand without torturing your feet with pricky sand spurs This is the ONLY ENCORE PARK With a beautiful water feature and PLUSH SOFT SPUR FREE GRASS to walk barefoot What an oasis for the soul to be able to ground and sit and walk in the grass. And the park is great too. I've been here during Christmas and every road was lined with candle lit bags on Christmas eve. Beautiful touch Beautiful community feel Lots of biking thru the park AND THE LARGEST DOG PARK IBE EVER SEEN IN 100+ RV RESORTS
