Rating: 6 6 8 2 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Park is located along the frontage road of I-19 so there is some road noise. The sites are gravel with a concrete patio. Trees and bushes made parking to accommodate doors and slides tricky. Full hookups but only 30 amp service. WIFI was excellent. Cable TV included. Laundry machines were new and worked well. - MkvCjv
This park is a mixed bag--the staff are nice, the laundry room is small but clean and affordable, there is a pet walk area behind the park. There are a lot of permanent residents but most rigs are respectable-looking. Overall, the maintenance is poor, the sites are too close together and there is a fair amount of traffic noise. I would probably stay here again for a day or two but would not make it a destination. The price reflects a Passport America discount on my first day of three. - mockturtle
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Mountain View RV Ranch »We stayed here 2 days and would stay again. While there is some debris around the edges and on the terrific path near the park (perfect for the dogs); the park is otherwise fine. Dated, yes, but so what? The price shown was before a discount. The park has full amenities-- the basics. I prefer dirt and gravel to having everything (!) paved over; I was more comfortable walking our 3 large dogs here. I don't get the other reviewers' comments about "year-rounders." Yes, there are some residence RVs and a mobile homes here, but they appeared to be well-kept and quiet. We were here 2 nights. - beckydmc

Rating: 8 8 8 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park is very nice for all the reasons stated by other reviewers. Sites are both wide enough and long enough for comfort; although our patio/living area is bounded by the neighbor's discharge hose and sewer connection. The water hook-up was ground recessed on the patio (passenger) side, making it awkward. Otherwise, everything worked. Good wi-fi and Verizon service. We were next to the I-19 frontage road and the noise seemed pretty loud, but, like trains, one gets used to it. I'd recommend reservations for stays of more than a few days. Plenty to do in the area. Close to Tucson for anything major. I would love to stay at DeAnza again. - Brown Newf
Price shown reflects the weekly rate for a back-in site. Generally a very nice park with good facilities. There is a big clubhouse with an onsite restaurant open on weekends. We didn't eat there but heard only good things about it. The whole place looked clean and well kept. We had a back-in site that was easy to get into and out. It had some shade at the back and a good view out front. My complaint about it is the hookups. The water hookup is on the wrong side - better have a long hose. The sewer hookup was in the right place, but in a hole too deep to be able to properly connect a standard 90-degree fitting. It looked like the pull-through sites were better arranged. They are larger than the back-ins but have no shade. We had good Verizon cell and internet service there. Despite the complaints, It is overall a good park and I would go back again. - JA1800

A few nice shade trees behind the back in sites. Cable good. WiFi questionable. Nice Mountain View In distance. Restaurant 4 days a week. Our sewer hose right at corner of neighbor 's picnic table. Here for 5 days to bird watch. Would definitely return. - smitty12

Rating: 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Flying W RV Ranch »More or less a large open area of land with trees around the fence perimeter. There is a nice walking path that is graded for dogs. This is a very rustic campground, sites are dirt and located around the property. Not all sites have power. 50A needs to hookup near the barn. Owner/host is extremely nice and accommodating - let us check out late, giving us a chance to walk into town, a short half-mile walk across the tracks and river to visit the historic Presidio and church. Town is small and oriented toward art studios and shops. Lot's of Arizona history all around. - Seagrace

Rating: 8 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a US Forest Service CG and has limited amenities. The main attraction for me was the elevation at 5200 feet, making it much cooler than any RV park in Green Valley. I was not there during the warmest part of the day averaging in the high 80's. By sundown, the temperature dropped rapidly and sleeping was very comfortable. I arrived on Memorial day and the CG was very sparsely occupied. One thing is odd about the CG, namely there is an additional $5.00 daily fee to use the restrooms, even in the CG. Fortunately, they waive the fee for Senior Pass holders. $15 per night seems high for a Forest Service CG. It is a clean, well managed facility, and I would stay there again. - Corno1
The road into the park and the campground road are paved, as is all the parking for the sites. We have a 23 foot trailer and had no trouble getting into site 6, in spite of the 22 foot recommends max. It seems like a 25 foot could easily get in here as well and use our site or site 7. There are also a coupe others that look big enough, but a vehicle would have to be parked near the restrooms. All sites have a picnic table, fire pit, bear box and tent pad. There are water spigots at each site that actually have threads, so we could have come here with empty tanks. The sites are mostly nicely spaced. The pit toilet was clean. We had 2 bars of ATT LTE or 1 bar of 4G. There is great hiking both from the campground and from the trailhead. However, these are steep and rocky trails (apparently the trail builders had not heard of switchbacks as there are lots he climbs straight up the hill), so if you are looking for an afternoon stroll, these may not be for you. - ALbums
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Bog Springs Campground - USFS »This is a great little spot in Madera Canyon near Green Valley, AZ. The toilets are vault. There are picnic tables and bear proof storage lockers. I've stayed here over the last 3 years and never saw a bear. The hiking is good. The best is the birding in the canyon. Many migrate here in winter and spring. The humming birds are prolific. Using a Golden Age Pass the cost is $5. Two week limit. - waterwoman

Rating: 1 9 7 2 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: If you need a one night stay in Green Valley Do not stay here! This park is 95% full time retirement permanent residents. It's a very nice park for that purpose but they do not cater to overnight guests. If you're not over 55 years you cannot stay here. The overnight sites are dirt not gravel, its expensive and they only take cash. They stuck us in front of an abandoned metal building way in the back next to another permanent mobile home. We've been camping for 10 years and this was the worst site we've ever been in! - jkwlegal
This is an older park that has a mix of RVs and mobile homes, lots of snowbirds. We unhook our tow in the main aisle and back our 25' MH into our assigned site with assistance from the staff. It is neat and clean. Pool facilities and club house are very, although older and well maintained. We would stay here again when in the area. We camped at Green Valley RV Resort in a Motorhome. - doit

The park is a bit tight for larger rigs but doable. We managed to unhook our tow in the main aisle and back our 37' MH into our assigned site with assistance from the staff. It is neat and clean. Pool facilities and club house are nice and well maintained. Pets are only allowed on one side of the park. There is a spacious dog walk area outside of the perimeter gate. We would likely stay here again if in the area. - Nautical Wheelers

With almost nine years of full-time Rving, this is certainly one of the strangest RV parks that we have stayed in. We stayed here primarily because we wanted to visit the nearby Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, a very neat place. When we pulled into the park, there were only two other occupied spaces, and they were obviously occupied by very long term residents with very trashed-up spaces. It looked as if there was once a bathroom in the middle of the park. It is now a ruins. I think there may be restrooms available in the nearby restaurant, but we did not use them or check them out so not for sure. There are not many trees but the ones that are there need to be trimmed to prevent scratching to RVs. Some of the spaces were well-defined, others were strange and undefined. The hook-ups were good with strong electrical. There was WiFi and it was good at times, not so much at other times. Satellite was not a problem. We had on and off Verizon data, but voice worked well. The sites were grass/gravel. Overall the campground had a very unkempt look. During our 5 day stay, there were three or four other campers that came in and stayed. When checking on the campground, I had called a phone number associated with the campground and reached a woman in another state and she said that she was the owner. She said to just get a spot and "the woman from the restaurant" would come around and take our payment. When we pulled in, there was a sign at the front that said the rate was $20 per day and to pay the residents of the house at the back after five. So, the first day, I went down to the house to pay. The lady there told me that she was not the one and that I should pay the person in site number 9. This was one of the very trashed long-term resident sites. There was no one home, so I decided to wait until someone came by to collect. The bottom line is that no one came by to collect. On our last day, I went up to the restaurant and asked where I should pay. She said that I could pay her and give me a name to make out a check to with a rate of $22 per night. So that is what I did. I have no idea why the rate was different and I do not know if I paid the right person, but I paid. When we arrived there were barking dogs and we were concerned about noise. In the bottom line, it was nice and quiet and relatively dark at night. Unfortunately, the restaurant kept some lights on at night. We were very concerned about the long-term residents and we did hear some rap music during the day, but it was really not a problem. So, the strange campground did work for us and we had a nice visit to the Wildlife Refuge. Even though it was strange, it worked out very well and we would stay here again. - TheJim

View more reviews and a full list of amenities for La Siesta Campgrounds »We pulled in very late at night and we were immediately greeted by the owner. He directed us to our spot and said come by in the morning after you get a good nights sleep. In the morning he took us on a great tour of the park including the vintage motor homes available for rent. They were amazing. Decorated perfectly to match their year! He then showed us the catch and release fishing area and the rest of the grounds. Our site was spacious and had some shade. Would highly recommend staying here. Great RV park! - Melissa Hiatt

Rating: 9 8 8 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a popular state park in the Southern part of Arizona. We made reservations to stay in the park two months in advance. The campground was full during the four days we stayed here. The sites are paved and kept clean by park rangers and a few volunteers. Each site requires some leveling. There is a store at the lake that carries a few essentials for visitors to the park. The park ranges we talked to were very polite and helpful. There is some construction at the park that causes some noise during the week. The park is adding cabins for use by visitors to the park ($65 - $70 per night). The cabins are at the East end of the park and on the hill side, with great views of the lake. - Outwest63
Nice Campground - RV sites have water/electric and the site we stayed in (71) was nice and level. Downside is that it is a crowded and busy park. Fire-ring at this site is oddly located and not very usable because of this. Campsites are close, no more than 15 yards or so to the nearest neighbor, but people were quiet and well-behaved. Maybe that was because of the extraordinary law enforcement presence. Facilities are nice, clean and well-lit, access roads are paved and sufficiently wide. Ranger will not let you line up along road to dump station, you loop around the campground store parking lot and wait across the road. Seems a bit off that there is no signage indicating this - we lined up behind the guy waiting and the ranger stopped and told us where to stage. It's not a problem, the parking lot is big and easy to navigate. Good birding opportunities if that is what you are into, also good fishing from what I hear. There is a small marina in a pretty cove with a cool arched footbridge over the channel, there is also a camp store, but we did not visit it. It appears that they are building cabins - providing another option for staying here, and extending possibly another camping loop along the lake. I would visit this lake again, but definitely make reservations way ahead of time. - Seagrace

They are doing remodeling and upgrading parts of the park. Quite a few of the sites are small so check that carefully. Only a few have a view of the lake. It is a birding area, with lots of trails. The tour of the lake is worthwhile. - MCTexas

Rating: 8 9 9 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Looks more than a little run-down, but we actually liked our 3-day stay here. Host was available by phone but off premises and took 20 minutes to show up. Large area without cactus to walk dogs off-leash when the longhorns were not grazing. We had a pull-thru site with picnic table and concrete slab and enjoyed ourselves. Many sites were empty while the Patagonia Lake Park RV sites were full. Close to town. I especially appreciated being to run my dogs off-leash. Some shaded pull-through sites were available. We will probably stay there again if we visit Patagonia in the future. - Jack Saunders
