The manager was the most disrespectful person I have ever encountered in all my years of rving. We had to go back out and shut our pickups off because he "gets sick and tired of listening to those diesels" and then he got into a discussion which made no sense. He has a terrible retirement life he said and claimed to be one of the owners which I strongly doubt. Our traveling companion's pickup had problems so we both stayed there for the night and then found out it may be days. He told us we could stay past checkout time, til noon,until we got word on the vehicle. He changed his mind an hour later and wanted another day's rent right then. We left the park and ended up spending 8 more days in ANOTHER park! We will not ever stay there again. The Wi-Fi was non-existent. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Manager very negative, almost hostile, complained about the campground owners, lack of campers, his boring retirement life, then launched into an extreme political tirade. The next day he refused to sell us propane then tried to demand more money from us as we were leaving. The bathrooms/showers are closed and locked. Cash only, no free wifi. Basic gravel park carved out of the desert with no shade, each site has a small concrete pad and tiny table. Plenty of I-10 road noise. No recycling. Rate was Passport America. We will never return due to the manager. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here before and liked it, but this time was very different -- manager would not honor the $15 Passport America rate (which was both on-line and in the book) and insisted on $20. When we got ready to leave in the morning he started yelling at us because we had to run our diesel for 5 minutes to air up the suspension -- very surprised at his bad attitude. Plenty of other parks in the area to stay at as this is our last time here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice and helpful management. A decent park for our short stay (we were there just 1 night). No trees, but it did have a dog run area.
Quite adequate for an overnight. Close and convenient to I-10, though noise was not a problem at all. Denny's is conveniently across the street and a discount with park's receipt (though we didn't get there). Had a slide problem while there and another camper gave us a recommendation of a local RV repair person, who was absolutely awesome. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Owner was friendly and accommodating. Being that we have a 45' motorhome and staying for only one night, I asked for a site where we wouldn't have to un-hook and was given a long pull through. Well maintained park. Will stay here again if in the area. Price reflects Passport America rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price reflects Passport America discount. This was our second stay, and the manager was wearing more than shorts (probably because it was cold outside). We were asked about pets and told them we had two dogs, and it was no problem. There was even a sign directing us to a "pet walk". We had a pull through site with cable TV for one night and walked to Denny's for our 10% discount on dinner. Everything was "cash" -- even the fairly good deal on propane. We will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Manager/owner was just plain rude. Park was nearly empty, he gave us the most unlevel site in the park. Moved to another site, he told us we could not have that site, I politely asked for my money back, he refused. My wife demanded a full refund, which he gave us and we left. Never again, Benson Chamber of Commerce needs to know about this rude behavior. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a park to avoid. We pulled in and there were maybe 7 rigs in the whole park. I went to the office, and the manager came out dressed only in his shorts. Wouldn't give me a straight answer about rates, and when I said I had pets he said "not here darlin" Then when I opened the door to leave he yelled at me to shut the door so he could instruct me on the way I was to pull out. Yeah, this is definitely one to avoid at all costs; there are plenty more with good management to stay at in Benson We camped here in a Motorhome.

Okay park I guess if you don't mind rude manager. When we checked in we were told "cash and cash only". This does not pass the smell test for me. We explained that we didn't know how long we would stay and before 11:00am they were pounding on our door. The manager didn't even have the respect to wear a shirt to work, and when I told him I wouldn't be staying in this park again, he gave me my change in quarters. Park is a gravel lot, surely better accommodations are available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We pulled off I-10 and stayed for one night. It is nothing fancy but great for a 1 night stay. Good rate and clean. Also, far enough away from the freeway so noise was not a problem. Manager was not a problem, and they only accept cash??? So we paid in cash. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Cash only in this RV park. Large, level sites. Like a big gravel parking lot. Full hook-ups. There was cable; we didn't use it.

Only cash accepted and the sewer is a big issue. We stayed here due to the convenience of the location. Gentleman at the office said to walk the dog as little as possible on the park streets as they didn't want coyotes to come into the Park due to the dog "smell." OK, this was a new one to me. The pet walk was filled with garbage and weeds. They do stamp your receipt so you can receive a discount at the Dennys across the highway. We probably would stay here again in a pinch.

Stayed a week while exploring southern Arizona. As others indicated the train noise and freeway noise could be heard but was not too bad. Everyone was friendly and there was a lot of turn over daily. When taking the east bound exit off Interstate 10, the under pass is only 14 feet 5 inches and our radio antenna hit the bottom of the bridge since it was 14 feet 8 inches. It was bent back with no damage but taller RV's could have a problem. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our stay here was OK. We found the freeway and train noise to be loud. Sites are fairly level and long. If you stop here be prepared to have some method to support your sewer hose off the ground.

This park is easily accessed from I-10. The sites are long, and fairly level. The bathrooms were locked, but the manager gave us the key. This was fine with us because everything stays really clean that way. Our price is with Passport America, which seemed about right since the sites and access roads are not paved. We would stay here again. We are in a big rig motorhome, with a tow, and did not have to unhook. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have for the last 4 years stayed for a night in this campground. Always a pleasant experience. But, not this year. On our way home to Canada, our truck broke down. We were in the campground for over 5 days. During that time, the manager locked the bathrooms/shower and the laundry room. He said the "season" was over. This is a park which remains open all year, so how could the season be over. He was very curt to me when I had questions. Also very unprofessional in appearance, behind the desk in the office with short shorts and no shirt! We will not stay at Benson I-10 ever again. The sites are just fine, but this past experience has soured us on the park. Not knowing how long the Ford dealer would have our truck, I asked him if the two day park fee I had paid could be added into the week rental, he said No. We paid for a week but only stayed an extra 3 days. He knew our situation. We left the park on Easter Sunday 2009 and shall never return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a high-desert RV park and thus there is no shade. Not many amenities, either. No pool, hayrides, extensive game/rec room, C-Store, etc. There is a small, very clean laundromat ($1.25 for the washers/$1.00 for the dryers) and cable TV. We didn't use their showers but they appeared to be clean after a quick look. Two of the three shower stalls on the men's side were marked as 'Do Not Use.' Since we use our own shower we didn't ask about this. Wi-Fi is provided by TengoInternet so this is an added expense for those who want it. The signal from the antenna mounted on top of the registration building is strong and bandwidth is more than adequate. The cable-TV has 60+ channels. The sites are level, gravel and have a small concrete patio and a picnic table. The spacing between sites is pretty good. The $14.92 daily rate we paid is based on a weekly rate. The park is situated about 1.5 miles north of downtown Benson on Ocotillo Avenue, just north of I-10 (exit 304). Road noise is minimal as are train noises from downtown. During our stay we distinctly heard train whistles only on a couple of occasions and even then it was very minimal. Across the road within easy walking distance is a Denny's and a Jack-In-The-Box. There is a Super Wal-Mart 5-minutes south of the park in Benson as well as a Safeway. The only issue that we have with this park is the wind. And that is something the park cannot control. This part of SE Arizona is very windy. By 11am in the morning on most days the wind is blowing hard enough to force you to close your overhead hatches and to put up your awnings. We think that this park is a perfect place to use as a base for day trips into Tucson (about an hour, depending on where you're going in Tucson) and into Tombstone/Bisbee (22 and 45 miles respectively). The views of the night sky are magnificent and when the winds quit blowing, the quiet here is deafening. If you're looking for a pool, game room or structured activities then look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a quiet, clean park then you won't go wrong staying here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very clean and well-maintained park, with very easy access on and off of I-10. There is not a lot extra in the way of facilities, but the showers and laundry areas are clean and modern. There are plenty of pull-through sites. Surface is mostly gravel, with a concrete patio at each site, and a small picnic table. There are small trees, but not big enough to provide much shade.

This park used to be a restful stop but not this time. The new manager is very rude. The woman in the office tries to make up for it but she appears to be medicated. We were intending to stay maybe a month but 2 nights did it for us. First reason . Rats all over bathroom inside and out. Two came into our RV. We have travelled for 12 years and never picked up rats before, not even in country parks. Second reason a screaming baby near us and teenagers that raced their cars real fast and blew up dust as well as afraid for our family. Next reason is the weeds. Some sites near us have grass up to one's knees or more. Manager explained he needed a tractor. No he needed a week wacker. He had put down some killer for weeds but that was put on flowers and beautiful yucca trees. We did see a snake but that would be expected with the tall grass. And the price he charged was not all we had to pay. We had to pay electric even though it was overnight for 2 nights. He made us pay cash for Passport so he should take some of that money and buy rat traps and use the week wacker we saw in his tool shed. We did not mind the train noise we expected it if in Benson. We never heard I-10 which is very close. There is nothing to do here but they charge as if they had pools and hot tubs and things to do. No even a horseshoe area or badminton. I mean there is nothing. We used to stay here often while travelling but will find another park to hitch up with in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 2 nights in February 2007. (Passport America $17 + tax). The roads are wide; turns are easy and big enough to maneuver in with our 38' 5th-wheel & HDT. Gravel sites are laid out diagonally which makes them easy to get in and out of. The park is clean and well maintained. No particular amenities (like pool or game room), but a nice, clean place to stay while traveling through or visiting area attractions (such as Tombstone). The 2 nights we were there, the park completely filled up by early evening. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It is a clean park. It's a Passport park so the rate is cheap also. We stayed a month in 2006 and found no train noise even though they are in town. Also we never hear the Highway noise unless an ambulance go down I-10. The Internet comes in very well. It is Tengo Net and is at every site for immediate use. We enjoyed our peaceful stay. Wished we could have met more people but other then that it was great. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an OK campground with dirt roads and tight/short sites. The stes were well marked. They had great management, I came in late and my registration packet was in the night registration box waiting for me with clear instructions on where my site was and how to get to it. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the attractions in the area. They provided maps with the attractions and distance/time to get there from the park. W-Ffi worked great from my site. There were mo problems with the hookups. There was a really nice tent area with shade a grass, but the RV area was pretty much just a dirt parking lot. Two ponds on site with big koi and catfish. The campground is far enough away from the interstate and the railroad, so noise is not a problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed here for 3 days. Campground elevation is 3,561 feet. Maneuvering my 40 footer towing a dinghy in the park was slightly tight but no problem. Roads, sites and patio are gravel. Pull through sites barely hold a 40 foot coach towing. My site 46 offered 30/50 amp service and full hookups. Wi-Fi and cable TV were included in the daily rate. I was not able to receive AT&T Wireless 3G Internet but AT&T Cellular service was fine. I received Dish Network 110/119 Satellite TV from dish on roof of coach. Campground is pet friendly. Wal-Mart and Safeway are 2 miles away. I am unable to comment on other amenities due to not using them. This is a nice KOA for a few night's stay. It is far enough away from I-10 not to hear the traffic. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They have the lowest price for propane anywhere in the area. My only negative is the people camped next to me had a motorcycle with loud mufflers that they started up several times a day. This was my fourth visit here and I would return.

We decided to take a long weekend, at a KOA with facilities in Benson partly because it was close enough to Tucson so that daughter could visit. Although this park is just OK, our kids did enjoy it enough that we may go back in the right season. I thought it was a bit over priced this time of year. There were only a couple other campers in the park at all. We were greeted by a black widow spider, who was residing on the under side of the picnic table, and there were many large ant hills, but to the campground's credit, they treated the ant hills while we were on site. Dog walking is an issue, as burrs are prevalent on the ground. No shade and no grass or dirt, all rocks and gravel. Older facilities, including pool, playground, and very small 9 hole mini golf course. All in all, enough to do that if it were not so hot we would have have a good time. Would have been nice to have a fish-able pond. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

While this is not the spiffiest park on the planet, we enjoyed our stay here. The spaces were nice, level and wide enough to accommodate our big rig. As far as KOA's go, this is quite nice, as many KOA's we have encountered while crossing the US have been horrible in every way. The owners were delightful and worked hard to make everyone happy. Everything worked well, and we could not hear the freeway noise at all. The train horn was in the distance (but we love trains). We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was definitely not one of the nicer KOA's we have stayed in. It was pretty run down and not nearly as well maintained as we are used to seeing at KOA's.

Very disappointed, expected better from a KOA. Their book says 'cable - yes' I do not consider 12 TV stations to be cable TV. Also the web site offered sites that were upgraded in fall 2007. HUH? This campground hasn't changed a bit in as many years as it has been around. You know when you drive in and there is NO OTHER RV's in it, you are in big trouble. We will NEVER stay here again and have crossed it out of the KOA book. I am also writing KOA to voice my disapproval. All of this for $39.00? No thanks! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had come in late at night and was greeted by some very interesting employees. They showed us to our site and told us to come on by for some late night hot chocolate. Great kamper kitchen for breakfast. Fire pits(really nice because it was chilly), water at the tent sites. Even a discount coupon for Karchner Caverns nearby. We stayed for 3 nights just because. Will return for next summer. We camped here in a Tent.

Easily found off I-10 using my GPS. Upon arriving at the Benson KOA, we were half way down the narrow dirt road leading into the campground when a car, truck and a pickup pulling a very large trailer tried coming out the road as we were going in. I had to actually stop my Class A as close as I could to a barb wire fence and wait for the vehicles to pass me. The car and truck made it fine but the pickup with the trailer knocked down several posts lining the drive. I suggested to the manager that they needed a wider entry/exit road. There is not room for two campers to pass! The manager was nice enough and showed me to our site. Level site, all dirt with a little gravel mixed in. A pull through so did not have to unhook the toad. Wi-Fi was very weak, used my ATT Air Card. Cable TV signal was weak but viewable. Would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was very clean and had many personal touches. The Wi-Fi was very poor as they restrict bandwidth to the point where I have seen dial-up faster. If you need streaming video or audio for business or in my case school, do not stay here. I was also a bit upset at the times they choose to clean the bathrooms, between 11:00am-1:00pm. If you need the bathroom do not sleep in. Also, the maintenance people are very noisy, actually running a skill saw at nine in the morning. The manager is grumpy and not very friendly. His wife who works with him is a real sweetie even bringing us an extra heater so our dog would not get cold, but speaks very poor English (Korean?). This park is not smoker friendly, prohibiting smoking in the cabins. There are also very few paved roads and the paved road coming in is rough. As I need a fast internet connection, I probably will not stay here again as the cabins are not cheap and I expect more bandwidth for my money. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

This is an older KOA. The sites are full of puncture vine and ant hills. After we had committed for a week, and paid, the owner mentioned the puncture vines. There are some small trees that give little shade. It has a nice dog walk but dogs get "goat heads" in their feet getting there. We were there a week and only 1 of 4 washers worked. It is a typical KOA. Anymore, they are either very nice and overpriced or run down and overpriced. The advertised big rig access is true but, barely. We will not return, nor can we recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is a typical, dirt KOA campground. My only real gripe is with the cable TV. I guess if television comes to the RV via a cable, then it is cable TV. Benson has poor cable TV: don't expect to watch the normal cable channels while at Benson KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Dirt..dirt..and more dirt. Aside from lots of dirt and only 4 channels available on the cable..the park is okay for a one night stay. We were traveling with our 2 little Shih Tzu's. If you have pets, the park does not have a fenced in pet area and there are many sand spurs around the park that get into the dogs paws. If you are traveling with children, there is a small playground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The fact that this KOA has been here so long and there are no trees to speak of, or grass for that matter, is sad. A little more water and I think they would have some nice trees! The campground is quiet, VERY quiet. There were four campers here each night we were here. That made it easy to get in and out of the restroom! The restroom was clean and maintained. Hope you like Classical music. That is what plays in the restroom. The pool looked good but we did not use it and I am not sure about the hot tub. We stayed here in July and it was 108 degrees. Hot tubs didn't appeal too much to us. This was just our hub to tour this part of Arizona. Only 25 miles to Tombstone and Sonoita, and 35 to Saguaro National Park and Tucson. I think the price is too high for this park in the dead of summer. There are probably better parks around here and in Tucson. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was definitely in need of some upgrading. It might have been the time of year but there wasn’t much staff in evidence. The couple who run (own?) the facility were very accommodating and the baths and showers though old would rate 10 on a cleanliness scale. Yes, there were lots of do not signs, but George Carlin would have found some of them amusing, especially the “flush frequently“ entreaty. Despite an objective 6 rating based, mostly on the visuals I wouldn’t hesitate to overnight here again if ever passing through. Two days might stretch it though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Downgraded greatly due to poor condition of restroom/shower area. Roaches in the women's restroom. The general impression that it was reasonably clean until spending a little time in the shower area. The bathroom tiles were very grimy at the top - the walls above the tile were also grimy. This was old dirt that apparently had been there for some time. The same with corners and crevices in the restroom. It appears these areas had just been given "a lick and a promise" for quite a while. Needs a thorough scrubbing probably a little bleach or disinfectant wouldn't hurt either. The woman at the front desk was quite pleasant. I wouldn't have minded all of the "please don't" signs if the cleanliness had warranted it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Pretty nice layout, but this campground was pretty deserted when I stayed there. Since you had to drive by another RV park to get to the KOA, maybe that park took most of the overnight traffic. Main complaint was an abundance of "please don't" signs. Please don't dye your hair in the sink; please don't turn off the speakers in the restroom; please don't leave the restroom without flushing, etc. I felt like a little kid in 1st grade!! Take some of these signs away, and the atmosphere would improve. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It is acceptable for an overnight. Easy access to I-10, yet far enough away that road noise isn't an issue. Sites are level and accommodating. Water and electric are good. The WIFI has a nice strong signal. The Cable TV leaves a bit to be desired. There was a very fuzzy picture at our site. For us as "24" fans, the fact they don't offer the FOX Network is cause for serious demerits. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Yes our dog had problems with the burs in her fur. We kept her on the rocks. The dog walk in the desert is fine for short hair and larger dogs. This KOA is older and has that feel, but the utilities were fine and the showers were clean. The propane was the cheapest in the area, and folks were coming from other campgrounds to have their tanks filled here. This is not a destination campground, but worked for us for day travel to Tombstone and Bisbee. You are a half mile North of the interstate, and the train track, so while you can hear them, it is in the distance. The train does blow its whistle when it goes through town, and you will hear it, but it should only bother the fussiest of sleepers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Grass type used in campground haw spurs - entire campground was covered - unable to let our dog walk outside without getting covered in these painful spurs to the point that he could not even walk. Spurs stick to bottom of your shoes and get inside your motor home. Campground is "worn" and quite bleak feeling. Trains run nearby all night -continuously. Not a good campground for pets and not a good campground for walking around. This campground was the most expensive one we stayed at in Arizona, but was the lowest rated by us.

This park is fine. Nothing spectacular, but certainly nothing wrong with it either. Convenient to the freeway. Pool area was a little dingy but it was OK. Train noise was not bothersome and you're not going to find anywhere in Benson where you won't hear the train. Pull throughs were plenty long and the utilities were all in working order. Don't know if it's worth an extended stay but a few days are fine and if you're just cruising I-10 and need an overnight you can't go wrong here. We'd stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a totally enjoyable camping experience! The couple that owns and operates the place are fantastic hosts. They led us to our site with their golf cart. They helped us parking and delivered firewood and made change. The entire campground is VERY clean. We could even use the picnic table without a tablecloth. I loved the classical music in the bathroom. We have 4 kids and we could not find anything family friendly in Tucson. It was worth the extra drive. It is about 50 minutes past Tucson (heading East). They had a nice playground, nine holes of mini golf, pool table, video games and pinball machines. It was nice to have an internet computer in the office and wireless access. I was glad to support a family business run by a family that works hard. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Only about 10 of the 175 spaces were occupied during our stay during the month of August, although this will change when the snowbirds arrive in the fall. The park is very clean and well maintained, as are the pool, spa, restrooms, laundry, well-equipped exercise room, and club house. Also available is a well-equipped wood shop (including table saw, drill press, and band saw), as well as on-site propane (not only for bottles, but also for large rigs). Staff is very courteous and helpful. Most spaces have a pine tree that provides some shade, but not much. Pull-through spaces are available, but are somewhat short (reduced even more so by the fact that they are crowned to the rear), especially if you want to keep your toad or tow vehicle connected. If you have a 40’+ rig, a back-in spot would be better, and it is wide enough for your other vehicle to park alongside. Roads and pull-through spaces are paved, while back-in spaces are covered with coarse gravel and are level. Internet service is provided by Tengonet, which is free for daily and weekly stays. Our summer daily rate shown (for the month we were here) includes the $1/day Internet fee and separate electric charge. Wi-Fi speed was OK most of the time, but not outstanding. The park is very close to the local Safeway, Ace Hardware, WalMart, and Post Office, and is a couple of blocks off I-10 (however, there is no freeway noise). Train noise is another matter, as there are numerous trains that go through Benson at all times of the day and night. The crossing is about a half-mile from the park and train whistles are loud. Unless you have the benefit of "white noise" such as air conditioning and fans, they could disturb sleep. We used both, and train noise was never a problem. Although Benson is not much, there are some interesting things to see in the area, not the least of which are Kartchner Caverns State Park and the town of Bisbee. An unusual aspect of this RV park is the on-site astronomical observatory which houses a 16†telescope. We didn’t get a chance to see it because the weather was cloudy most nights due to the monsoon. The park is in downtown Benson and there is a fair amount of light pollution in the park itself, so the skies are not that dark. From what we have seen, this is by far the nicest RV park in the area. We stayed here during August since it was about 5-10 degrees cooler than Tucson (where we had business during the month), and only an hour's drive away. However, it was still very hot with most days in the high 90s. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed three days/nights. Train whistles, need ear plugs at night. Otherwise quiet. Paved interior roads with straight back ins and pull through sites. Sites were humped and with angled curbs. Saw a few places where drivers had scrapped hitches from trailers on the pavement. Only saw three sites for big rigs and those were for handicap only. The rest are very short. Easy in and out with a HDT and 35 ft trailer, but the site was to small for both the truck and trailer and had to park the truck else where. Cable TV. Half the channels were clear. Wi-Fi wasn't able to get it at our trailer until we put out our exterior Wi-Fi antenna. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park. It's clean, well maintained. Loved the paved pull throughs although those appear to be reserved for short term stays. The other spaces are all gravel back-ins. Like other reviews, our only complaint were the trains (or rather their whistles), but ear plugs were helpful and the trains are the one reason this rating isn't a ten. WiFi good; 2 dog walks and very pet friendly; friendly people; very small store on site; observatory a nice attraction; very close to shopping. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a nice enough park full mostly with long term campers. The parking pads are paved but only 50 ft long. Big rigs can park their tow vehicles on the gravel next to their RV. Parking pads slope in the front and the rear of the sites. They do have an free observatory but weather was poor while we were there. Laundry was nice and other campers were friendly. Thought that this was a pretty expensive campground. Do not waste your time going to Tombstone. Every venue costs money. Bisbee is much more interesting and the Queen Mine Tour was fun.

Clean well-maintained park with paved roads and sites, with picnic table and medium-sized pine tree for each pull-through site. Easy in/out for our big-rig 42-foot triple-axle 5th wheel. One free Tengo Internet password given out per site, which can lead to some tension since we are a two-computer family. Internet service was quite slow most of the time, and the park should think about upgrading the bandwidth (as should many others we have stayed at). Smaller fenced gravel dog run, with empty field and dry wash across street if you want to get some exercise with your dog. Heated pool and spa were clean and inviting, washrooms/showers/laundry room were all clean and well maintained. Free observatory shows every night for registered guests were enjoyable and interesting. Located in the heart of Benson, near Wal-Mart and other shops/restaurants, central to Tombstone, Bisbee, Kartchner Caverns, etc. However, as others have commented, the train noise is pretty disruptive at night, with at least 7 or 8 trains happily sounding horns. Not sure why they need to be doing this continuously from one end of the valley to the other, especially when the crossings in the town are all auto-controlled with lights and gates, but they seem to be quite happy to do it with some enthusiasm, especially when two trains are passing each other. It's a nice park, but we will not be staying here again due to that problem. Price reflects weekly rate including taxes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Big, seems well run. No pool and Wi-Fi was very weak until after 11:00 pm or early in the morning. Staff was gracious and friendly. Terrible gravel. It is the big kind with very sharp edges. It is everywhere. So you can bring your dog but that is what it has to walk on when not on the road itself. Very nicely presented special suppers and events. Poker and group trips out for lunch and dinner. Small to average room between RV's. Each lot gets one small tree. I would not stay here again because it looks too industrial. We kept the shades down.

This is a clean and well-kept Park. The staff were pleasant. The streets were paved and many of the sites were as well. However, the pull-through sites were very narrow and short. We had to unhook our tow and park it perpendicular to our 40' coach to remain off the street. Also, the Wi-Fi (Tengo w/fee) wasn't working when we were there. This seems to be a winter destination park. For an overnight stay, I will look for another location that might be more convenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was adequate but not all it is hyped to be. Had to pay extra for WI-FI for the one night. Dog park was a barren lot with sharp rocks. Hurt our dog's feet so much that she wouldn't run or play and she just downright refused to enter on the third visit. Seemed to be more of a "snowbird" destination with the usual cliques and social groups than geared for the overnight traveller. Very friendly residents however - they wanted to chat so much we almost couldn't get our rig unhooked and packed for the road for all the conversation. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Extremely nice, first-class RV resort. Well laid out, and very clean. Surrounding area left a lot to be desired. The really big downside was that it is situated roughly a block from the railroad track and train traffic was about 1 every 15 minutes. Could not get much sleep. Probably would not return because of the noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Folks were exceptionally friendly, pool and hot tub were nice. Laundry convenient and clean. This is a train town. Trains go through parallel to towns main street (2 blocks away from park) approximately every 22 minutes twenty four hours a day. Bring your earplugs or ipod. They have on-site astronomy and a small observatory. Very interesting and exceptionally well programmed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park nice and clean. New Manager needs to find a personality, downright rude. People were being asked to leave the park. Why?..because the management here is bad news. Train noise is annoying.

This park is top notch, the only concern I have is that for $32 (with discount) you should get Wi-Fi free. I agree with all the positive things said about this park. Friendly staff, paved roads, gravel sites (Arizona style), with concrete curbs, and a tree at each site makes for a very nice experience. If it was not so close to our final destination, we would stay longer. Price is only thing that prevented a 10 rating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has paved roads with gutters, asphalt pads and rock between sites. Very neat, well maintained park with friendly staff. They have a nice clubhouse and usually do park dinners and breakfasts for a nominal fee. It is within walking distance to a grocery store, so very convenient if you aren't planning to unhook. In addition, they have their own observatory and do a nightly show. This is our second stay here, and we would definitely come back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This one of the nicer RV parks that we have stayed in. Very clean, level, long parking spots. No trouble parking a 40' motorhome. Overnight and weekly pull throughs are paved. Monthly sites are large gravel. Wi-Fi is through Tengo, and worked fine. Would have been nice to see free Wi-Fi. Located near shopping, hospital, and Super Wal-Mart. Train noise is very loud, but not that much of a distraction. Staff was the best we have ever seen. Very helpful, and always there to answer questions. Park residents were also the friendliest we have ever encountered. Pets are welcome, and there are two dog runs. Cable TV is pretty limited with only 13 channels, but every site has a clear view for satellite. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is very clean and well laid out even for big rigs. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Sites are level. The post office and grocery store are within walking distance. The only negatives are low water pressure and a train track close by that is rather busy. They seem to have some kind of activities everyday to keep you busy if you choose.

This park has nice amenities. It is kept very clean. However, we came with children and it became clear to us very quickly that children are 'tolerated' not 'welcome'. The park policies are geared toward a senior-only park. The amenities close at 8pm. We also found the park staff to be less than friendly. Although the facilities are nice, the senior oriented policies and unwelcoming staff really put a damper on our stay. I will try other parks before coming back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park. We had a pull-through that was paved; a first for us. Benson is very small, so you are right in the middle of everything. There is an on-sight observatory that is really neat. (We were surprised that we liked it so much.) You get some train noise, but you do that everywhere in Benson. We thought the staff were very friendly and very helpful in giving us places to go and see. Rate reflects CCUSA discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very clean park. Rock and pavement, no gravel. I was in a pull through and didn't have to unhook. The pull through sites taper off on the backside so it would be a long way down to drop rear stabilizers. On 1 night stays I usually don't drop front or rear stabilizers.The office was closed when we arrived but the manager saw us pull in and unlocked the door for my wife to check-in. Staff was friendly and the Safeway store is right around the corner. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is not child friendly. Our 11 year old son and I were in the jacuzzi in the evening. The sign posted indicates no children under age 14 permitted without parental supervision. A man came and told us my son needed to get out because children under age 18 are not allowed in the jacuzzi. No one was using the facility except us and we weren't being noisy.

We stayed in Butterfield RV Resort for Feb and Mar. The place is spotless. They have entertainment, pot lucks, activities etc. Very quaint park. Staff keeps this place so clean it's amazing. It is not a gated park even though there is a cement wall around it. Anyone can enter at any time and apparently they do. There was a robbery of a video store in an adjoining plaza and the get-away was through the Butterfield RV Resort. A couple of times young men were caught jumping the wall and walking through sites as if to see what was available for the taking. We didn't like the fact that some of the repeat guests seemed to think the place was their own and really took on an attitude of rude bossiness and control toward the guests. It was detrimental to the overall good nature of the place. New management came in while we were there as well. That started out fine but there was a deterioration of attitude. The new Manager became snappish and unfriendly toward customers. Her husband inserted himself into things, even though he wasn't hired as manager, and really has no people skills. We heard him bad mouthing staff (one against the other)several times. The atmosphere became too heavy handed for us. Benson is at an altitude of over 4000 feet and it was cold and windy much of the time we were there. We actually had snow one night. While the snow was perhaps an anomaly, repeat visitors told us that the cold weather is normal. Not what we were seeking as a winter get away. In addition even though it is no reflection on the resort, there's not much going on in Benson. In fact, there is nothing going on in Benson so most activities and sight-seeing are about an hour away or more in any direction, with the exception of Kartchner Caverns. We spent a lot of time driving to other places. We will not be returning to Butterfield RV Resort based on this experience. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

First and foremost let me state that this RV park is extremely clean and well maintained by the resident staff who were extremely cordial. The public gathering facilities which include the pool, spa, club house, rest rooms/showers and banquet/social hall are spotless and up to date. Each site is spacious and well though out. The added feature of the observatory is commendable. On the negative side, the management staff that currently is in place leave a lot to be desired. The overall demeanor and curt responses to reasonable questions put to them left a sour taste in my mouth. Maintenance problems with the pool left it unusable for an extended period. I do not know, but being in Arizona where the quantity of swimming pools has to be enormous, seems to me parts and service could be performed rather quickly. Lastly, the trains are the worse. This park is extremely close to east and west bound container traffic that seems to be non stop 24/7 and they are loud for sure. This park located in some other venue under different supervision would be A++++++. This will be our last visit to the Butterfield RV Resort. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The new managers at this park are less then desirable, very unfriendly. Speeders in this park are out of control. They have a list of rules but no one seems to follow them. It does not feel as secure as other parks that have someone watching over it, they need security. The manager looses her temper easily and yells at her work campers in front of the guests, which I think is awful. I have been coming here for years and I am not sure if I will come back again next year since the atmosphere has changed so much. It isn’t the fun relaxing park it use to be. The internet is at a cost and you can’t keep it in half the time, it should be free since it isn’t very good. I was expecting computer classes again this year but there isn’t any now in the middle of the season, again after the new managers took over. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is within a half a block of a railroad track crossing where the passing trains blow their horns all night long. The park mainly caters to long term tenants with only about 27 of their 173 spaces available to overnighters. Their pull through spaces are only 50 feet long so if you have a longer coach pulling another vehicle you will have to disconnect it to fit in the space. If you want Wi-Fi you are going to have to pay $4.95 extra a day for it. After a long day hike we were looking forward to using their spa at 8:00 p.m. but were told by a man covering it up that it was closed. There was nothing posted at the pool or in their booklet about pool and spa hours. I went up to the office to find out if this was the case and was barked at twice by a rude red haired woman behind the desk to "take it up with the manager." I could only recommend this park if you like blaring train horns, or are deaf, or don't mind abuse by the staff. There are plenty of other parks in the area that look just as nice and aren't nearly as close to the railroad tracks. We will not return to this one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I would have given this park a "10" had it not been for the train that goes by every half hour, all day and all night long, honking their horns. The camp hosts were extremely friendly and most helpful when I had difficulty trying to get my satellite dish to align. Their son even helped me pull my tow dolly up onto the gravel as I was not strong enough to get it over the curb. The streets were paved, clean, and very wide. I had no problem maneuvering my 36' motorhome with attached tow dolly & SUV around this campground. I was impressed with how nicely kept it was. Great little town to stay in. Only a 30 minute drive to Tombstone, which was my ultimate destination. Would love to stay there again, except I literally got no sleep from the trains making all that noise all night long. I was there for 6 days and was exhausted by the time I left. Too bad because it really is a great park! One of the best I've been in yet. The sites were really spacious. The observatory was the best part. Our astronomer showed us some amazing sites including Mars, some star clusters, a galaxy far, far away and saved the very best for last, Saturn! It was the prettiest site I have ever seen in my life with it's ring shining around it and the 4 moons surrounding it. Almost worth the loss of sleep. Would recommend this park to those who aren't light sleepers like I am. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed at the park during peak season when rates are higher. It is a very high quality RV park excellent for big rigs with many pull throughs and good sized sites. The staff are very nice and there are many amenities. It is close to the railroad tracks which takes some getting used to. The onsite observatory is great with a nice nightly starwatching program. I am told that January is the best month to see the stars. There are many large trees though no amount of trees helps during the hot summer months. There is a Safeway just outside of the park, if you are traveling without a Toad. I will definitely stay at this park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

$14 was for the monthly rate. If you like trains, this is the place for you. They blow their whistles all day and all night. Made it hard to sleep at times. This is not a very pet friendly park. We do not have pets but don’t mind them. However, there was only one small place to walk your pets and it was up in a far away corner of the park. Thus, people would walk their animals right next to our RV. Everyday, we would go out and see droppings by our RV or in the street in front of our RV. Sites are all gravel (expect the overnights which are paved and very, very small). The sites are unlevel and not very wide or long. They have strict rules keeping people from walking through occupied sites but this does not stop anyone, especially the seasonal or permanent residents. I guess the rules don’t apply to them. The whole park gets very dusty when the wind blows. Would only stay here again as an overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I paid for a one month stay at 420/mo. I left two weeks early due to the constant train noise throughout the night. In all fairness most folks dealt with the train horns without complaint. The park itself is very nice and the amenities are wonderful. The on site astronomical observatory was the reason I stayed and it was great having the nightly observation sessions. Bottom line though was my need for a peaceful nights sleep so I left for a more quiet park in the Benson area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good sized banquet hall for the many weekly activities. Fabulous mountain views in all directions. Next to shopping, but the campground is walled so you don't feel exposed to the commercial area outside. Post office and medical walk-in clinic across the street, small hospital down the street. Daily activities. Most interesting of all, there is a wonderful new fully equipped astronomy observatory on site - free to those who stay. Astronomy classes and groups and scheduled observations - on site astronomy guru (friendly and very helpful). For those interested in astronomy, this is the place to come. Great observing because of low light and air pollution. Very well run, very helpful staff. Great base to see Kartchner Caverns, several National Parks, Ft.

I wouldn't call this a resort, but it is a decent place to stay. They have friendly staff, good paved roads, and there are some activities offered. The biggest problem we encountered was the gravel pull-through sites that are up front. They are difficult to get into because, although they are wide enough, the actual pads, drop off on one side. On the other side, there are trees. If you get too close to the trees, you can't open your slides. If you get too far the other way, you fall off the slope in the site and can't get level, even with three layers of levelers. We had to change sites three times and finally settled for a back-in site. Because of this, we would probably not go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The laundry was small but clean, pool looked nice but we did not use it. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well maintained.

Very clean park; level, well manicured sites. Dog friendly; even has a fenced in area where they can run around and “do their business”. Large community center with exercise room, public computer available (although it is an old slow machine and dialup, not connected to WiFi), computer lab for training classes, library. Beautiful observatory. Convenient shopping very nearby. A short drive from the freeway. Unfortunately the park is situated near railroad tracks and every passing train blows their whistles at every crossing which is annoying in the middle of the night. I would rate this park higher but I thought the sites were narrow, the WiFi was very expensive compared to other parks and I was extremely disappointed with the operations of the observatory. When checking in on a Tuesday, the hostess told me the next scheduled viewing would be Thursday evening. We only planned on staying one night. Wednesday morning, while walking the dogs, I heard the observatory closing. The operator told me I just missed viewing the moon and Saturn. He confirmed that the next viewing would be Thursday evening so we decided to stay 2 additional nights. No one could explain why the observatory was not made available more often. On Thursday, late afternoon, the operator decided to cancel the evening viewing session because there were a few clouds in the sky. As it turned out, the clouds were gone at the scheduled viewing time but the observatory remained closed. Very disappointing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park. We had a pull through site - paved, long, and easy to get in and out of. The few pull thrus are essentially hookups in a parking lot. Just fine for a night or 2. Restrooms and showers were modern and spotless. Pool area was beautiful but the water was freezing. Spa water felt warm but didn't see anyone using it. There is a small putting green. The park is convenient to I-10 but no interstate noise. Staff was super friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stopped for a 2 week stay and spent 5 months. We picked this park because of previous stays in Benson the train noise was a problem. Not so here. Sites are large with gravel and small stone. Sites are raked after someone leaves. Utilities are in the right spots for RVs. We went to various dinners and breakfast as well as other functions and had lots of fun. This cg is set up on the west side of Benson, but up on a hill so the scenery is outstanding. Definitely the best place in Benson and we will be back. Rate quoted is based on a monthly stay We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We wanted to find a place to stay in Benson that wasn't on dirt and gravel and where we wouldn't be kept awake all night by the trains passing close by. We got lucky. Cochise Terrace RV Resort is mainly a snowbird live-in park with long-term rigs and park models. But they have several large pull-through sites on asphalt with middle islands that have the hook-ups and some have shade trees. They are angled so the severe west sun hits along the driver's side: a big plus in Arizona. Everything is clean and very quiet. They are dog-friendly people. The staff is most accommodating and pleasant. They gave us lots of ideas of things to do and see in the area. The location makes easy day trips to Tombstone, Gammon's Gulch, etc. The resort roads are wide and the in and outs easy. It rained hard while we were staying here and the paved sites and roads stayed clean. We'd have been very muddy in some of the dirt and gravel parks. We stayed here in a 45' quad-slide coach towing a Jeep. Whenever we pass this way again we'll be sure to stay in a pull-through at this resort. A very pleasant surprise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Arrived here after our first choice was full. Turned out to be the best thing after all! (Once we saw our first choice park in person we realized that we wouldn't have been happy there). While in town we went to look at all the other parks and realized that we found the perfect place for us. It was far away from the train noise and no dust issues like in the valley. The views are spectacular, and it's so quiet! The office staff are EXTREMELY friendly and helpful - almost going out of their way to help you. The overall feel at this park is that everyone is so happy and friendly. We felt it immediately when we got there - you just can't help but be happy there. Sites are very large (but gravel), water pressure was excellent, and the park is very well maintained. Be aware that the pull throughs are basically an asphalt parking lot - not ideal for a long stay. Get a back-in spot if you plan on being there for more than a night or two. Our back-in was deep enough to fit our 38' motorhome and tow dolly with room to park two cars on the side if we needed. They seemed to have lots of activities (although we didn't participate). We loved it so much that we extended our stay an extra week. Reasons I can't give it a 10: WI-FI is Tengo (pay for use) and has a weak signal. Pet area is just a dirt area outside the park (not a big deal for us because our spot was nearby). Otherwise - I couldn't find anything else wrong! We loved this park and will definitely return! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was an excellent park. We also were led to our site by friendly people and it was a nice very wide and level site that was typical of the park. The cable TV worked good, the hookups were properly placed and work well. The gravel in our site was a bit large but it worked fine. The people were very friendly and helpful. We stayed two weeks an really enjoyed our stay. We would give it a 10 but the Wi-Fi was through another carrier and cost extra. However our Verizon air card worked fine. This would be a good place to spend the winter even though the wind blew most every day. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Spent two days here and had a wonderful stay. We were given a back in site and were guided into the site by a very professional and pleasant host that knew exactly where to place my coach. It was a very wide site with plenty of room between coaches. It appeared, that where possible they left one space empty between coaches. Registration was also very professional and pleasant. The registration clerk actually made you feel that they were glad to have you here and were willing to do anything to make your visit the best they could provide. Will definitely return to this park.

Excellent park. Easy to find, near to I-10, but no noise, good sized sites, accepts PA discount and has some of the friendliest staff I've ever been around. Arrived here in a very frigid wind, and they came out and helped me get into the site. Most of their water was frozen, but they offered to find me some if my tank didn't have any. Filled up my propane tank the next day, and the price was very good along with the service. This would be the place to stay in Benson. It is on a hill about 3 miles from the Wal-Mart.

Very nice park. Well maintained and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. We were just staying overnight so we were in a paved overnight space which was long enough and wide enough for a large rig towing. Since it was New Year's Eve there was a party in the "Barn" which is their function room. We did not attend but were invited to. We were able to purchase propane which we needed since it was very cold especially for southern Arizona. We would stay here again. Rate is for Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very nice park in a very nice setting. A high wind advisory was in effect when we were here, and in this location you really feel it. The sites are quite close together and the sewer connection was too high off the ground. Wi-Fi connection was spotty and considering the $4.95 charge for 24 hours, makes it a rip-off.

This is a very nice RV Park. We have stayed here numerous times and all sites are nice. They keep this park well maintained and the sites are good size. The park helpers escort you in. I have been very disappointed the last two years that the pool hasn't been heated. We also had to pay $14 for Wi-Fi for a week and the Wi-Fi wasn't always the best. It is very windy up on the ridge where the park is. That is no fault of the park, but it may keep me from coming back although the park is very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Of the 223 sites, 75 sites are short-term (no phone), with some on asphalt and most on gravel. Our site needed some leveling. A picnic table, but no shade or grass. 70-channel TV worked great, but the Wi-Fi through Tengo was $5 per day with spotty reception. One-mile off I-10 made it quiet at night.

We winter at this park (third year in a row) and this year stayed from 1/6-4/6. The nightly rate of $17 is based on a monthly rate of $435 and electricity (meter) of approximately $100/month. Wi-fi (Tengo Internet) is $85.95 for three months in addition to camping fees. The sites are double wide and the park is laid out very well. Has a wonderful clubhouse that we can use for dinners with our friends or other activities. There is a large barn with other activities and entertainment. Of all the parks we've stayed in, we like this one the best and we've travelled extensively. We easily park our jeep and our diesel truck on the site with our fifth wheel with lots of room left over. Benson is well situated on I-10 between Tucson and Sierra Vista which is south of I-10 on highway 90. We used to stay "down the hill" in Benson but the noise from the trains and freeway was very noticeable. No noise at Cochise Terrace "up on the hill". Lots to do in the area!

One of the nicer RV parks we have visited. But, (isn't there always a but?) their internet is through Tengo which is, without a doubt, the poorest provider in the world.

There was shade in the pull through area. Each site has a picnic table. The sewer hose must be off the ground per a county ordinance. The bathroom and shower area are clean and proximate to the pool which is approximately 24 feet wide by 40 feet long. We utilized the camp-club rate. The resort is clean and well managed with an adjoining area for people who have bought lots. Cable TV worked well and the water pressure was adequate. Electricity was in the pull through area, and the street and site are paved. There are limited pull through sites. Nearby is Kartcher Caverns, which is a must see. I would stay here again and would like to stay longer next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a really nice clean park. We parked on the asphalt but most of the sites are pea gravel. Very well maintained and the office staff were helpful. We originally registered for 5 nights but decidced to stay another 2 days since we really enjoyed it. A mile south of the highway exit so no road noise. Approximately 3 miles from downtown Benson, 24 miles from Tombstone and 40 miles from the Davis Mothan Boneyard. The only negative thing I would have to say is the Pool/Spa hours. They do not open until 12:00 and close at 8:00 pm. I would like to see the Spa open at 9:00 am and close at 10:00 pm when quiet hours are. The pool was not heated yet but the water was bearable.

Sites were large and open which was very nice! The streets were wide, paved, and easy to navigate with the motorhome. It was very quiet after 10 p.m. Gravel sites were groomed immediately after they were vacant; many part time workers kept streets and buildings spotless and ready for use. Full time residents were very friendly to those of us who stopped briefly (for a week). Many places to go for interesting day trips around the area; this makes a great base camp.

All of the sites were extra wide and very clean and level. The facilities were excellent with two communal group buildings with full kitchen and meeting facilities. The park had a mixture of over nighters and winter "snow birds" along with our rally group of 22 coaches. The staff was friendly and did all they could to help everyone that needed any assistance.

This is a Passport America park and it was well worth the price. It’s nicer than the majority of the other parks in the area. It’s far enough off the highway to get a good nights sleep and it’s very clean and we felt safe here. A nice park with quiet, friendly and helpful staff. There were no power problems and good water pressure. Good cell and Aircard reception (Verizon). Dome satellite came in fine. The site was asphalt that was level and very wide. We didn’t have to unhook our tow vehicle which is always nice. The sewer hookup was further to the rear of the site making us use an extension on the sewer hose. They also require the sewer hose to be elevated off the ground. Attractions are close by and easily accessible. This was an overnight stop for us while heading west. We will stay here again when passing through the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a nice park about 3 years ago, but now with the subdivision building up beside it not much of a view unless you are in one of the two or three sites where you can look at the mountains in the distance. Also, during the summer months, the workers apparently don't have enough to do. It seems that every time we were outside they were driving by to see what we were doing. They have a vehicle wash fee of $5 which I paid and obtained the permit. While we were washing our 5th wheel I saw 2 different people drive past the site twice and look at the permit. Therefore, we will not return to this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of the cleanest, friendliest and easiest to maneuver in RV Parks we have stayed in. The pool, hot tub, and laundry facilities are great. They charge $5 for the extra water to wash an RV. Internet is provided by Tengonet $4/night or discounts for longer. Staff is especially helpful. Lots of full-timers stay here for a few weeks at a time. The only downside to the park is it location in Benson. Benson is centrally located but not the type of town that we like to explore. The friendliness of the "natives" makes Benson tolerable. I cannot recommend an RV park higher than Cochise Terrace. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here close to 3 weeks, and felt it was a great RV Park. This park is very well maintained and a lovely spot. The park is up on a ridge looking out over the valley with hills all around you. As soon as a RV leaves the park, the staff come and grade the gravel and clean up the site for the next person. The grounds are landscaped nicely, the pool and hot tub are huge and clean, they have a nice club house and "a barn" where there is entertainment. There are a lot of planned activities. Our site was good size (gravel) with plenty of room on both sides to set up chairs and park your vehicle. I would highly recommend this park and it is a great bargin with a Passport America membership. The WIFI works very well, but there is an additional fee for that service.

This was our 4th time staying at this campground. It is immaculate! We just stayed overnight this time, so were in a pull through site near the office. It was the end pavement site, so we had a picnic table, grill and our own nice little cactus garden! We didn't need to unhook, as the space was large enough for our 37' fifth wheel and medium duty truck. The office staff was very accommodating, as usual. We purchased propane while here and the staff came and got our bottle, filled it and delivered it back to the trailer. We paid the Passport America rate of $19.00.

This is a beautifully kept park and easy access. I would normally rate this much higher but we cracked our windshield getting level in a pull through site. The site was down in the back and a lot to the right. When we leveled I saw that my back wheels on the right side were off the ground. It was already too late since it cracked the fiberglass and the windshield on the right. I feel that the site was the problem and management did not agree and said it had not happened before. Rather expensive stay for us. We have leveled up in more than 150 RV parks in the last 7 years and we rarely have to raise the back to get level. I will be more careful with sites when I get the new windshield installed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is my first review and our first trip out with our first RV in over 30 years. This was our shakedown cruise close to home. The only reason that this is not a 10 is that we don't have anything to compare it to. The staff here seems to be mostly longterm residence but they are excellent. We were warmly greeted, escorted to our site, and helped to back in. Our escort even took time to sit down with us concerning campground ettiquette and local rules. This campground is immaculate. Every site is raked and cleaned and prepped before a new RV is sited on the lot. Lots are wide (40 foot+) and deep. Facilities excellent and clean. Access to I10 is easy but the resort is far enough away from the highway to be quite. Very little shade, and immature trees, but you are in the high Sonora Desert. $19 cost represents a Military/Military Retiree Rate for the rest of you Old Soldiers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park, really big lots, very clean, lots of dog walking areas, nice laundry room but a bit cramped, nice common areas, close to Benson, very nice little town that has a grocery store and a couple of dollar stores. We would stay here again, in fact I wouldn't mind buying a site here. Passport America park - $133/wk. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were very pleased with our stay at this park. Located on a plateau above Benson, it is very well maintained by a host of frenetic workampers on golf carts. The lots are very large, not much shade but typical of this area. Lots of activities & the staff is very friendly. Unlike the other Benson parks, there is no train or interstate noise. An all-RV park, no park models or permanent residents. We'd stay here again, this is a quality park at a very reasonable price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed at Passport Am. rate for a week. Our favorite stopover in Benson. Love the awesome view of the valley and the Dragoon Mtns' to the east. All facilities are maintained in excellent condition by dedicated staff of workampers. Nice big laundry room. $1.00/.75 wash/dry. And the dryers DRY. Only downside, at certain times of the year the wind comes blowing through like a freight train often. Don't leave the awning out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fairly new state park, and a memorable experience. The cavern tour is a must, even at the $23 price tag. The campground is very attractive, with widely spaced sites and mesquite trees providing privacy. The 2.5 mile loop trail is well worth the effort--which is not trivial, especially if you take the side trip to the overlook. (This adds another mile to the hike.) Restrooms spotless. Water pressure is minimal, but it is nice to have any water at all in the desert, folks. No wifi, and no onsite sewer hookup, which is not unusual in state parks. Don't miss this experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon expecting to be able to get a site for 2 nights but unfortunately were advised that all sites fully booked for every weekend now through February! The back-in sites, of which there are not many, are very long as are many of the back-ins. There is a huge distance between sites and in many cases trees are also growing between sites giving even more privacy. The washrooms were very nice and clean. There are a couple of nice trails one of which offers great views. Given how busy this park is I would recommend RVers planning on staying over a weekend to reserve their site or else you will be offered the privilege of paying $15 per night with no services to stay in the parking lot!

Very nice state park with a lot to do in the area. Sites can be reserved on line or on a first come basis. Lots of room between sites. Register at the excellent visitor center & museum. We used this as a base to tour the area. An automatic gate closes up at 10 pm but you can get a key from the campground hosts. He was super helpful and clearly loved this park. Concrete pads for your rig. Astounding views. Walk to the cave tour. At night there is nothing but peace and stars. No sewer hook up so only a 9 but excellent dump station.

We used their new online reservations for our trip and it worked great. System allows you to pick the spot you want (if reserving early enough). When we arrived, the camp host was here to greet us by name and was very friendly. This is a great park with paved roads and lots of room between sites. Camp ground is within walking distance of the caverns and is nice and quiet. We would definitely recommend this park if you are going to the caverns or not, as it is a great location to explore southern AZ. They have changed their 6:00pm gate policy to 10:00pm also. If you will be out later that 10:00pm you can get a gate key from the camp host with a $20 deposit. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This a beautiful, peaceful campground with large and small sites that are well spaced. There are few amenities but if you enjoy hiking and looking at the mountains, this place is great. The hook-ups are at the back of the site but we managed to reach with a 30-foot water hose. The campground host greeted us on arrival and let us know he was there for us if we needed anything. The volunteer who greeted us at the park entrance was super friendly, but the park ranger who checked us into the campground was downright rude. Pity. We stayed here because we wanted to tour the caverns. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park includes a museum, gift shop, cafe, hiking trails and much more. Pull through sites are 50amp and back-in sites are 30amp. The park is also located close (30 mile drive) to Tombstone AZ.

This park is a nice park and is located about 10 miles south of Benson and 25 miles north of Sierra Vista but not all sites are level. Very well maintained park, very clean but you cannot make reservations as it is first come, first served. Utilities will be located as much as 30 feet from big rig electric lines and water lines so make sure you have the length to get hooked up. Why it was designed this way is very strange as I have not seen it this way before. Like I said, some of the sites are not level but all in all, this RV park is a nice value and the Krchner Cave State Park is well worth the visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

All roads and sites are asphalt and in good shape. Site was pull-through and all pull-through sites are 50 amps with water and a table. Site was off level, same as other sites near by. Back in sites were more level. Sites are set at correct angle to get in and out of. Lots of room from site to site. Park is nice and full of small trees, under 10 feet with little to no shade. Staff was nice at check in. Great place to walk or ride a bike. Park was close to empty on May first. Gates are locked at night. Verizon cell and air card worked well here. TV channels over the air were two and in Spanish. Cavern tour was good and different from other cave tours we have been on. We camped here in a Motorhome.

An impressive campground for motor homes and a great base camp for the Benson and Sierra Vista area. We were here during the off-season with just five other campers including a very friendly and helpful campground host. The thundertorms were great and the cavern tour is most worthwhile. The pull through sites have the 50 amp service, plenty of space, and we were able to easily level our motor home. The tall mesquite trees provided plenty of shade and we had great views of the Whetstone Mountains. There is a public dump station between the entrance station and the campground. We will return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This special campground was just as good in 2009 as it was when we stayed here previously in March 2006. The sites are very well spaced and the trees have shown a lot of growth. Most people stay here for one or two nights while visiting the caverns but we liked it so much we stayed for 5 nights and used it as a base to take daily drives in the toad to different places like Sierra Vista, Fort Huachuca, Tombstone and even Bisbee. Reservations are not accepted but you will have a good chance of getting in during the busy season if you check in between 8-10am. Two traveler notes to pass on in the area. If you get off I-10 at hwy 92 to go to the caverns be watchful of your two choices of fuel. The Shell was $2.62 and the gas station across the street was $2.03. According to the clerk at Shell, there is always a huge spread in price. Second, Sierra Vista has just about anything you might need from supermarkets to retail stores (Walmarts, Marshalls, Target, etc) and virtually any type restaurant you could want. Kartchner Caverns State Park is a don’t miss place with an awesome cave and a terrific campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great state park with the added attraction of Caverns that are reported to be fabulous (I'm not a cave person) and the park is so lovely, well appointed and has such beauty that it is hard to leave.

Pretty new campground, only opened a few years ago. Well laid out and very clean and updated bathrooms. We really liked the hiking paths that started right nearby; you can hike as long or as short as you want. Lots of coyotes barking at night, don't leave the cat out! No cable/internet/telephone, but that's okay with us. Good security, park locks up at night. If you go, definitely call ahead and get tickets for Kartchner Caverns, recommend the Big Room tour first if you haven't ever been. Superb!

Passport America park rate for 7 days. Smaller park but nice and well maintained. Some permanent residents and snow-birds from Nov on. Some months electric is extra. Gravel sites, level. Plenty of room. Staff friendly and helpful. Easy access. Not much shade though. Pool, hot tub, laundry. Desert hiking trails but keep an eye out for snakes. Nice catch and release fishing pond on site with big bass, flatheads and blue-gill. Some distant train noise, but it didn't bother us. Benson is a small town but has a golf course and Walmart Superstore. Close to lots of Old West history, Tombstone, Bisby, etc. Camped for 3 nights. We'd stay here again in spring, fall, or winter.

We stayed in this park because of the close proximity to Tombstone which is about a 30 minute drive. They have a " 800 " number for our reservation and have everything ready on arrival. The Passport America discount included a fast Wi-Fi connection. The pull through site was huge and perfectly level in a very neat and tidy park. This is a family business that have gone out of their way to make your stay interesting with trails and a fishing pond where catch and release is lots of fun. It is next to I-10 but you will not hear the traffic because of the trains. This park sits next to a major rail line that runs long trains more frequently at night (every 30 minutes). For every train there are 8 long whistles that makes sleep difficult. If you like trains this park is for you. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A tight turn to access the office but other than that, it was easy to find. Staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed in Benson due to its' proximity to Tombstone which we visited (about 1/2 drive south). We had a pull through site which was relatively level and is gravel-based. We had full hookups which included cable and free Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi is not secure so must use it with some responsibility but it appears to be a good signal at least at our site (49). There are no concrete patios and at least at our site, no picnic table. The park is fairly quiet considering how close it is to Highway 10, but we have heard some train whistles. Hard to find an RV park without that. This is a good stop for an overnight or two while exploring the area, although there are many longer stay residents in place. We would stay here again and our price reflects Passport America prices. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here for a week on our westward journey to the Phoenix area. Used the Passport America discount. Got a pull through site which was incredibly long and wide, just like we like them. Great location convenient to Tombstone, Kartchner Caverns, Bisbee, etc. PA rate included a pretty fast Wi-Fi. Waterfront is actually a small pond but a nice touch. Road noise not an issue but train noise could be. We have a noise machine so the train noise did not bother us.

This place is a keeper. We stayed here four nights. Our site was next to one of the three ponds. The resident geese and ducks were fun to watch. There was a big open area nearby where we could walk our dog and within walking distance of the park is a "viewable wildlife area" that runs next to the San Pedro River. A real nice place for a walk and birding. From what we saw in our exploring the area, this is about the nicest RV park in town. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Passport America Rate. Very nice, clean campground with very friendly staff and owner. Catch and release fishing, without a state license required, is available in the artesian spring fed lakes. The site we had was gravel but was nicely maintained and level. The only thing that kept this park from receiving a high rating from me was that they are currently grading all of the campsite roads in preparation for paving the roads. It has been very difficult for them to complete this task since this part of Arizona has been receiving quite a bit of rain. Will be a an even nicer park when this rather large job is completed. In addition, they had LPG available and a very reasonable price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

During winter it is filled with snowbirds.Looks a little rough when entering as all you see is the coach storage area, but interior is very nice. Train noise at night, but this is true for so many parks in th west. Remember, they do not do daylight savings time, so you are 3 hours behind Eastern time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed 3 months. The Wi-Fi is Tengo, $2 a day and poor signal. We were able to get DSL within a week and it was great. The clubhouse has very slow dial up. About 60 cable channels. There are 3 designated pull-through sites. The slabs need repairing or replacing, and the road in the park needs patching in places. Staff was wonderful, and it was very clean. Very friendly park. Would stay here again without hesitation. A little bit of freeway noise, never noticed the train noise. Able to be outside and chat with neighbors without any problems. Found out is was cheaper rate with Passport American than with Good Sam as the last week we stayed, we paid for just that week. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at this park overnight this year but had stayed here 3 weeks last year. The facilities are excellent and we enjoyed the pool and recreation hall very much. The washrooms were very clean and we used them quite often. The only downside of this park is that there are technically no pull through sites. When we arrived we were able to use the site behind us to "pull through" as the parks was not particularly full at this time. However with near full conditions you would have to back into your site. The only other problem was that the site we were assigned had only 50 amp and 15 amp service. We have a 30 amp service so we had to use the 15 amp service as I did not have the proper adapter (since purchased!). The railroad noise is noticable but not overbearing. We would return again.

This park is spacious and the people are super friendly. All sites are built up a mountain and all have a stunning sunset view of the Dragoon Mountains. A swimming pool would make this place spectacular. The office personnel could not have been nicer. We've stayed in many parks and you get everything you pay for here. The price shown does not include the electric bill which was nominal. I would live in this park. It's wonderful. The town of Bensen is charming and has a small Super Walmart and a very nice Safeway with great produce, and ACE Hardware store. Again, you can sit out on your patio and everyone waves as they go by in the golf cart or car. It is very, very pet friendly. Make sure to visit Kartchner Caverns when you stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this to be an excellent RV Park for an overnight stay. It is a typical Escapee Co-Op Park for members only and a few sites with full hook-ups become available at times for traveling members. I recommend Escapee members check-in here first before taking a chance with one of the other Benson RV Parks, which are plagued by train noise. Our back-in site, 50 Amp, was extremely spacious and long enough for us to park the tow behind the Motorhome. We asked for a site with a view and we got one. The clubhouse is a state of the art community center, magnificent, and very large. The only thing missing here is a pool. The paved access roads are wide like a city street and the sites are well covered with ideal gravel. There are no bothersome street lights here so it appears to be an excellent place for star gazing. The place is far enough away from I-10 so traffic noise is non-existing. The passing trains can be heard. We stayed here for one night and look forward to a future stay for a longer period of time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate quoted is the monthly rate. The sites are quite large. The people walking by and while driving around love to wave to you. We did not partake of activities. They have a 4 o'clock social hour where we went once but it was not as in other Escapees parks. We did not go back. We expected a more friendly group judging from our experience at the other parks. Apparently the people waving and stopping to talk are not the same ones at social hour. But we do like the park and would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Large gravel sites and wide paved roads make this a very comfortable campground. Very friendly staff and residents enhance the feeling. Many activities to keep you busy and entertained. The only downside for long term stays, is that Benson isn't much of a town, with limited shopping and restaurant choices. Park would be a 10 if there were a pool. We would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Agree with everyone else, this is a great SKP park. Just wish there were more bathrooms, showers, dumpsters, and recycling bins spread around the spacious park. Really nice place to stay and relax, tho you need a car to get to town or anywhere. Gets pretty cold and windy in peak of winter. Friendly folks, mostly older seniors. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful setting in a well managed/maintained park. No shade trees but we don't mind that. Extra wide spaces, so back-in not a problem. Good services and free cable TV. Wi-Fi free in Rec Hall. A paid Wi-Fi service also available. Verizon phone service 'roaming'. Park is in a good location as there are many attractions to see in the area. We stayed here for six nights and would definitely use again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If quiet is important, this park is not for you. It is a gorgeous, extremely well maintained park. The absolute nicest Escapee's park we have ever stayed in. The staff is so pleasant, the grounds are immaculate, the facilities first rate. The dry camp spots where you are located if arriving after 5pm, could use a little work as it's very unlevel! The Wi-Fi is in the clubhouse only. With all that said, the noise of the continuously running train located about a mile away was terrible. You can clearly hear the train whistle and rumble. But if you are not bothered by noise, this park can't be beat! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This beautiful desert setting has a friendly staff, immaculate sites and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. It is set well off the highway; no noise from traffic to endure. Most sites are leased and have improvements such as patios or storage buildings on them which are not for the over nighter's use. We were escorted to our site and had plenty of help in backing in. The laundry room, recreation hall and other common areas were sparkling clean. Escapees definitely runs a well-maintained park; you will enjoy your stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rate is based on daily FHU 50 amp rate plus electric. This is the best Escapees park we have stayed at in our four years of full timing. Wide paved roads and very large gravel pads. No trees, so satellite and cell phone reception is excellent. If you're a SKP this is a great place to stay. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The best of the 10 Escapee parks we've been to so far. Very nice facilities, layout and staff. Our huge site wasn't level and the sewer hookup was difficult (too high and out of the way), but we did have a fine view of the mountains. Daily rate with tax is $17+ Escapee, and there are good deals on longer stays. This place is a good reason to join Escapees. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a membership (Escapees) park. It is the nicest of the SKP parks that we have visited.The staff is friendly and always tries to give you a site with the best view possible. The campground is situated on a hillside with great views across the desert towards the mountain.There are lots of birds and one can hear coyotes yipping in the evening.They have a very nice clubhouse for social gatherings.

Well, I almost didn't write a review of this park because I didn't want anyone else to know about this place. I wanted to keep it a secret for fear that it will get too popular and then we won't be able to get in next time we want to stay here, but fair is fair and if I'm going to write about a bad experience I guess I should write about a good experience when I have one. This is by far the nicest and most well-run RV park we have ever stayed at. The office staff is highly competent, knowledgeable about the area, accommodating to guests' needs, gracious and cheerful. The park itself is nicely situated on a gently sloping hill a few miles outside of Benson with peace and quiet and great desert views. The spacious community clubhouse features a large kitchen, laundry room, library, TV watching area, exercise room and areas for card playing, etc. There are tons of activities from line dancing to hiking to ATV riding to quilting to aerobics to whatever else might interest you. The residents are diverse in their interests and unfailingly friendly. They take great pride in their park and it shows. We spent a week in a full hook-up site (base rate is $15/day and electricity is extra) and 3 days in the dry camp area for $5/night. My only negative comment is that none of the Escapees parks takes reservations so it is always a bit of a gamble when you pull in as to whether there will be a spot available or not, but it has usually worked out well for us. You must be an Escapees member to use this park and you can dry camp for only 3 days unless you get on a waiting list for a full hook-up site. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a full-timer/snowbird park with a selection of overnight spots. No one answered the phone prior to arrival but reception was friendly and there was a special giving the PA rate to everyone so price was good. Park is clean but it is older so slightly tight for big rigs with slides, but no real problem. Wi-Fi requires an additional $4.95/night fee. About 1.5 miles from the interstate and quiet. We just used it as an overnight stop and had no complaints. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I like this park, first seven days you can use Passport America with no restrictions. No internet unless you pay, but a neighbor came over and introduced himself and said we could hook into his system. I tell you when you come to Arizona in the winter and people ask you "How are you doing" They really want to know how your doing. This park is a nice park and we would consider staying here on a monthly basis in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a 55+ park. All sites had 20/30/50 amps (good power), water, sewer, cable TV with lots of channels, deep and wide sites, all gravel, plus level. Roads are good asphalt. The Wi-Fi worked very well, has a small fee. Staff was nice at check in. Very close to noise free. You can hear the train horn way off if you are outside. Verizon cell and air card work well here. Park was very clean, neat, full of small trees and plants but no shade to park under. Staff work hard to keep the grounds clean and park is nice. Park is part mobile homes and part RV Park. Park has pull-thru and back in sites. Short drive to Benson for shopping and places to eat out. Found everyone in this park to be very friendly. You will see lots of quail and rabbits running around in park. Rates were on PPA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is with Passport America. The directory states PA is not good in February, but they accepted it anyway. The staff is friendly and we were escorted to our site. We had a pull through, full hook-up, 50 amp site with cable TV. The cable TV was very bad on the lower channels, but it was scheduled to be fixed. It didn't happen while we were here for 2 weeks. Has paved roads with level gravel sites and many activities. Located about 45 minutes from Tucson. Great area in back of park to walk and run the dogs. This is a snow bird park and about half the sites have mobile homes on them. It is kept very nice. Some distant train noise, but not bad. Our Verizon cell phone and air card worked well. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Are first time here as snowbirds. Very clean park and friendly people. Great water as this is a problem in many RV parks in AZ. Planned on staying one month but we will stay two months. Some other RV parks in town are closer to the RxR tracks and at night it gets noisy. Its not a problem here. Probably will come next year as theirs lots to see and do in the area.

Rate is FHU 50 amp daily rate with Passport America discount. Paved roads with gravel pull-thru and back-in sites. Escort to site. Active snowbird type park where the indoor pool is a plus and there are a goodly number of scheduled activities. There are also some working families, but the sites are kept neat and orderly. Great value for the price and we would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. We stayed here so we could golf (par 58 course) and not disconnect the trailer. The sites are gravel, wide and long and generally in good condition. We did have to raise the front of the rig substantially to get it reasonably level. NBC was the only good TV channel we could receive other than a number of Spanish language stations. No I-10 or train noise! This park is owned by the nearby Cochise Terrace RV Resort which has made a number of improvements here. Restaurant and bar in the Clubhouse. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great friendly feel to this park. Lots of mixing activities and meals to involve everyone who wanted chances to be social. Washrooms and pool/hot tub immaculate and quiet at night. The only complaint we had was the free Wi-Fi, being Tengo, was sketchy at best when it did work and NOT free. We took our laptop into the library/activity room and that worked fine. The owners and volunteers are cheerful and friendly. Passport America discount plus a 3 dollar resort fee. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Valley Vista RV Resort is a resort in transition. The Resort was recently purchased by ENCORE and we stayed here under their RPI rate. The resort needs improvement, which they are working on, and the staff is well prepared to handle your needs. Some sites are drive through, 50AMP is available but you need to ask since the resort is split, two areas; one 30AMP, the other 50AMP. We arrived the day after a week of hard freeze and the staff was working at restoring water to several of the sites, a task they accomplished withing an hour of our checkin. The resort is in the desert with some trees, depending on the season, and has gorgeous sunsets. This is a good place to stop and golf is directly across the highway, or less than a mile to the municipal course. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed at this park many times in the past few years. We used Coast to Coast this time, thus the rate of $10 plus a $3 park fee and tax. The park was only about 1/3 filled. The park has changed owners this past year and some club memberships are not honored now. The sites are not level, but workable. We will continue to use this park as it is easy access on our East/West travels on I-10. The staff is very friendly, as are the campers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is just off Highway 80 so park toward the rear of the park and it's quieter. Very friendly staff, and we were happy to be here. Most the time we were out and about, so didn't spend too much time here during the day. Wi-Fi is a $2 charge per day through Tengo, with only a limited amount of download available. I play games on the internet, so my two weeks worth of Tengo ($28), was used up in a week. We stayed here with our ROD membership, so the price was right. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Close to a Safeway and Wal-Mart. Great Verizon cell phone and air card service. About 40 miles to Tucson. Many sites are side by side hookups. Rate was for Coast to Coast. Cable TV was very good with about 65 channels. We had a pull through site. We would stay here again, but I would try to get a site along the back as they seemed to leveler, but tight.

Just outside of Benson on the way to Tombstone, this is a pleasant, very quiet park. It has a nice pool and spa with very clean restrooms and shower/changing rooms--(heads up! in the ladies shower, the stall on the far right has an overhead heat lamp). There are many birds here, perhaps partly due to the bird feeders and bird bath that happen to be close to my site (making it especially pleasant). It is close enough to town to make it convenient but if you don't feel like driving into town for what might be available at a mini mart, there is one near the park office at the Texaco station. In town there are cafes, restaurants, Safeway, Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware and a Subway and Quiznos. Farther down the road are the other usual fast food chains and a Denny's. Tucson is about a forty to forty five minute drive. The site I am parked on is very uneven, as my neighbor's--even the levelers are not enough to keep it level. This is annoying when doors don't stay open. Another guest complained their site was in need of gravel and after the rain she stepped into mud outside her motorhome. I on the other hand, had to lay out my mat to keep from tracking in gravel. The laundry room has too few washers and dryers for the number of sites here. You may have to take your laundry back and try again--and again. These are all minor (to me) inconveniences. My only real complaint is when I called to ask for a specific site--if no one else had requested it--so I could be in the empty space next to friends I was meeting up with, the woman who answered the phone cut me off twice with "we don't do that". It would have been nice of her to at least let me finish my request and apologize that they have a policy of no specific site requests (which I find odd regardless). (I did get the spot as no one had been put there before I arrived.) Since being here, however, I have found everyone pleasant and accommodating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Valley Vista RV Resort is a Sunbelt property (owned by Western Horizons) and we stayed here under Resort Parks International. The park is okay - the sites are rather on top of each other and clean, but not graveled - sort of a mixture of gravel and dirt/sand. There is a club house with a pool table, card tables, large book exchange and TV. The laundry room has about 5 washers & 5 dryers and is spacious and clean. There is a nice pool, a bit smallish but warm, and a hot tub in the same area. The activities are plentiful, with various card games, shuffleboard, pot lucks, and a variety of other games. Two very good things about this park ~ the staff is very nice and the WiFI works and works well! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

These sites are pretty tight, and carry with them a $2 additional charge for cable TV which we did not want or use.
