We love Yuma Lakes! It helps that it's part of our CRA campground. Lots of space, a heated pool and far out into the middle of farm land. No traffic noise and we'll kept.

I love this place. The people are really nice. Good pool and the have a pretty active social setting. Make sure you go to the ice cream social.
nah yeah
One of the smaller, quieter additions to the CRA member's campsites, but a pleasant one none-the-less. Aesthetically pleasing flower bushes line the South boundary of the park, Dog Kennel and a Small Lake line the opposite side, with a Mobile Home Section to the rear of the Resort where Trailers and Camping cabins enjoy a nice covered super structure for semi and fully permanent residents. Campground section is gravel, well groomed, activities building, modern laundromat, pool, hot tub, showers, basic mini golf course, and lake docks (small motorless boats allowed, fishing allowed) all clean; all functional. This location even allows for you to wash your own vehicles and RVs on site which most others give only the option to hire a cleaner so that's a bonus. Only 4 stars for location due to constant fires burning in nearby farms making it difficult to breath outdoors some days, and the biting insect population from the same farms and having a lake on site but neither are the fault of the operators. Improvements to groundskeeping is obvious from my previous stay several years ago. Some improvements I'd like to see in the future is another dog run for larger dogs to play separate from the little toy dogs and some new air dry laundry lines outside would be nice. Lots of salt in the water; there's a salt free water station at the entrance that works just fine. Or plan to replace your multiple stage filters often. Can have packages delivered directly to site during stay so that's helpful for Parcels Only (no first class letter mail) when you can't use the PO Box in town with some vendors/websites. If you want something not so wild and busy as the other nearby options like Emerald Cove, while still having all the same amenities with Yuma just down the road for anything a person could need, then I highly recommend Yuma Lakes Resort CRA

As a paid member....very disappointing how run down the CRA properties I've been to .Yuma Lakes ..the employee were helpful the check in booth definitely been at their jobs way to long complaining about Reservations dept. What got me is the fact that I had to be put out back by the farm apparently only the c class cause I asked to move and the spot was right across no no only for 44 ft No one was in spots asked about the whole 2 weeks . There is a sign in that back bathroom stating the water has been being test for Arsnic since last Feb 2024 all the showers water smelled like rotten eggs.no showers in pool area to shower before getting into the pool.while at the Hot tub lost its jets and the pools heat out. Couple of long time members Said it's Tuesday and every Tuesday from 1 to4 the staff I'd at lunch meeting.??

Park seems nice, people are friendly, the only issue I have is that the restrooms have to be closed overnight, for whatever reason. It is very inconvenient. Though if in the area again I would be willing to return.
