This place has been sprayed with toxic chemicals to kill weeds. The weeds are everywhere and they're still spraying. They didn't post a sign. Please be careful not to walk ur pets inside the park. Especially near the dead weeds.

Right outside of Yuma, AZ. Great place to stay. Note to self, not to visit during off season due to the high heat temperatures. Poor air conditioner and refrigerator were working overtime. No reflection on the campground, it's mother nature. I was just passing through to my next destination. Definitely will return. I highly recommend staying at this park. Sites were level, bathrooms were clean, they have a nice work out room, common area, game room, pool and spa. My TMobile worked perfectly for my work from home job. Made a couple friends too. Thank you Keen for your hospitality. Happy and safe travels.

Great campground! ZERO issues with 50 amp power during stay (that is SUPER rare these days!). Staff is super friendly and keeps everything clean. Pool is heated, hot tub is hot. No playground for younger kids. Fence along perimeter with dog walk area outside of fence (and of course the nasty, trifling people who don't pick up their dogs poop 🙄), but it's easy enough to get to a cleaner area. Scorpion hunting at night was super exciting (for me!), no scorpions found in campground, but just outside the fence was a winner every time. Close to Yuma, 2.5 hours to San Diego, 20 mins to Los Algodones.

We stayed as Thousand Trails guest and it’s one of the better TT campgrounds we’ve experienced. Sure there’s the interstate and railroad tracks in the distance, but that’s to be expected in certain areas. The campground is very well maintained, sites are spacious with full hookups and the pool and jacuzzi are kept warm and clean as well.

This is a desert camp ground. Flat and sandy. The staff was so very kind they made this one of the very best Campgrounds in the system. They have made some great upgrades since it was bought out and they have plans for more to come. Some road noise and a train near by but that was not an issue for us. Amazing sunrises and sun sets. We have already rebooked here when we will be comeback in the area. Thanks for the great friendship you showed us. It was truly genuine.

Love this RV Park! All the staff are so amazing and make you feel very welcome! We were lucky enough to meet Keane when we first arrived and he was so accommodating and friendly and was so kind and patient when we called for directions. I Saw Jim every morning and he always acknowledged me with a smile even though he was always busy. We were so pleased to meet Schanell too who does an amazing job with the property and has a wealth of knowledge! We just can’t thank the staff enough for making us so welcome and comfortable! This is the first time here for us but we left feeling like the staff were our friends. Can’t wait to come back in March, Thank you Donovan and Deborah site 21

Staff & guests all enjoyable friendly folks. Reasonable rate. Stayed 3 nights but couldn't get used to the noise and vibrations. Freeway and railroad a few hundred feet away interrupted my rest. Could be quieter on the back side of the park.

Excellent park to stay over. Clean. Friendly office staff. We were just here one night but they have a great pool and hot tub. We needed some papers printed and the office helped us with all of it. Great little gem just before Yuma.

Great RV park. graveled except for concrete strips and patio pads for each site. Laundry, library, pool room, weight room. Well kept grounds but basic for the desert. prices very reasonable. Not a glitzy park but has everything. Off by it self away from the city of Yuma but still easy access with out city problems. Fast access to Algodones. Staff was great and the property maintenance was perfect. An older park that is well cared for. Weekly prices were 30% less than other parks. Love the place. stayed for 2.5 weeks. Freeway and trains are in the distance. Freeway access easy and the spaces are medium sized. utilities are easy access.
