I stayed here for 2 weeks while visiting relatives. This is an older campground but it is very well maintained. It is a combination of "transient" campers and permanent residents, but all of the sites seem to be neat and well maintained. Very friendly residents and staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and that you have an enjoyable stay. Excellent Direct TV satellite and Verizon wireless internet access. Even though the campground is on a main highway with an active railroad running along side of it, it was very quiet here with only an occasional loud train whistle. And the rabbits are still running around the campground at night....they're a riot! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The new managers are the greatest...the short time they have been there, the park has improved greatly...the yearly people that are there are very friendly and helpful...it's nice to see green in AZ...I rate the park very friendly and a great place to stay....I will be back We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed for an extended period of time last year. We appreciated the green grass and trees. There were many rabbits (but not too many) and birds. Both of which we don't find much of in Arizona. The management at the time was fairly new and the management this time was new. Both were very friendly and the new managers now seem to be working very diligently at improving the grounds, adding color and improving the ambiance for their visitors. All of the permanent residents seem to be very friendly, helpful and very positive about the improvements. The pool was not open but they seem to be working on it. We will definitely stay here again as what is most important to us is a clean, quiet and safe park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our second stay here and will be our last. Under a new manager as previous one got busted for making meth and selling drugs. New manager is friendly and helpful. In the month we were here the bathrooms were never cleaned. Friendly campground, but general deterioration of campground doesn't warrant another visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park with friendly helpful manager. We stayed during my fathers health problems. One big draw back is the RR tracks just across the road. Train blew it whistle for crossing there and it was in an area where switching occurred between 1 and 3 AM. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Used for a place to keep our camper while visiting friends, in the city but seemed quiet and safe. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Happy Trails is a seniors only RV Resort. Children can stay at the park for a week or two. The park has an abundance of activities to enjoy. Two large swimming pools and four spas. There are tennis courts, pickleball courts, pool tables, championship golf course, quilting and sewing clubs, ceramic and lapidary as well as a wood working shop. Close to shopping and 35 miles N/W of Phoenix. After January the park is very busy with snowbirds and professional baseball spring training in the area. There are RV lots interspersed throughout the park and have individual owners. Many lots are for rent on a daily, weekly, monthly or seasonal basic. The monthly price is approximately $550 to $600/month depending on whether the renter or the owner pays the electricity. If you like lots of sun during the winter and are a physically active individual, this would be an ideal location. Just go to the web site listed and check out the list of lots for rent. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are currently here in a 40 foot coach parked with park models, of which there are too many. We have been here before only because it is the most convenient to everything. We are out of here everyday doing something since it so close to shopping, friends, theaters, restaurants, etc. There are numerous activities if you want to participate. The park is very clean, well maintained, safe, and a lot cheaper than Ft Myers and California. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you need to be in this NW area, the resort facilities here are very nice. But as mentioned by others, the overnight or one week only Passport America RVers are banished to a gravel back lot, a long way from the nice pools, showers, laundry,etc. For our 4 night stay, it was okay...parking area not full and RVs were arranged in opposite directions so we weren't close. We loved the free cable TV, recycling bins, free car wash, nearby dog walk. Normal daily rate was $47, so paying half that on PA worked fine. I sure wouldn't pay their $700-800 monthly rate for a regular site amongst the park models. You also get to hear the AF jets screaming overhead and some nearby trains. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This resort has mostly permanent park model mobile homes with a few RV sites that are relegated to a small graveled area at the back of the park, far from pool and clubhouse. Sites are narrow with a small concrete pad and picnic table. Staff was friendly and informative with an escort to site. Wi-Fi was non existent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Price given reflects Passport America rate for a week. We were parked in back on gravel with back to back hookups, next to the trash dumpsters for the park. Tight sites, you can almost touch the next RV with your awning. Nice park, but we won't be back. By the way they park over-nighters, wouldn't care to stay again. Most activities in Phoenix are an hour away, better off staying in Mesa or Chandler. Could spend more for a campsite and not waste money on fuel for the dinghy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Total number of sites is listed as 1150 but this is deceptive as 1100 of those sites are permanent park models. The "resort" is well kept but the overnighters like us, were shuffled to the rear of the park and the site was no more than a gravel parking lot with hook-ups. Glad that we only stayed one night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Rv parking is set up in the very last row right next to the dry Sal River. No trees at all just barren. This was supposed to be a senior park but we were located next to a motorhome with 2 small children. What gives, if its senior lose the kids. Don't think I will stay here again, spent a week here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Price includes tax at Passport America rate. There are full hook-ups, 2 pools, 3 whirlpool spas, fitness center, computer center, free WiFi hot spots at the community center, library, mail room, wood shop, wood carving, ceramics, lapidary, silver smithing, stained glass, porcelain painting, sauna, tennis, shuffleboard, chip & putt, BBQ patio, bistro, laundry, and billiards. All the amenities one could ask for. However, you will most likely want to drive to the amenities area. Although the park advertises 1150 sites, short stays are restricted to the Southeast corner. Sites are very close together. Two sites will face each other and share the space between with each having a separate patio and plastic picnic table. An escort will guide you into the site and place your step over the patio. Always check your own clearances when an escort directs you. I had to move up 6 inches to clear the rear of the curb side slide over the utility post of the adjoining site. This is not a really pet friendly camp ground. The area to walk pets is the very end of the Southeast corner, about 6 feet wide by 80-100 feet long and all dirt. Grass is not available at this campground. There is a wonderful city run dog park 4 miles away with easy access. Two parks, one for large, and one for small dogs. Shopping is close by. I rated it just above average due to the dirt sites and close proximity to each other. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is way over-rated for pull-through campers. The pull-through sites are not landscaped, ugly, narrow and too close to the adjacent sites. The hookups are old and worn, site is dirt, not gravel. They do have a cement pad. We chose a pull-through because they had cable TV, the back-ins didn't. The park looked pretty nice at check-in so we assumed all the sites were nice. Wrong, the pull throughs in the back are really bad. The advertised Wi-Fi was so weak in the pull-through area no one could stay connected. The Mgmt pleaded ignorance of computer issues, just said "sorry". We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here in a motorhome and where they put you is way at the back of the park as most units are the built in park kind. Site was very narrow but level gravel. The water did go out one morning for several hours without warning, apparently they were fixing something. They are very anal about dogs-- there is only a long narrow strip of gravel across the back of the park where dogs are to be walked and there a number of streets in the park where you can't walk them either. Got the "third degree" at check in to prove we were over the 55+ age limit, even had to show driver's licences! Park appears to have lovely amenities and is close to shopping and restaurants. Would be a quiet place to spend part of the winter. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice place to camp, but we are not into all the amenities. Father lives close by. Only real draw back is you must walk to library to get WI-FI reception which is about 6 blocks. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is not an RV Park. 99% Park Models. Transient area is in a corner of the park, far from everything. Had to get out of the coach and play with a gate phone to get in. WiFi only in the clubhouse area. I will never stay here again. Too pricey for the space provided. It is not, as described in Big Rigs Best Bets, as WISP. I will send them an e-mail. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Free Wi-FI was added within the past year (2005), but you can only get access from the club house area. Rest rooms and showers are cleaned daily. Their web page lists all 7 of Cal-Am RV resorts in Arizona. We've stayed at Sunflower since 1995, about 8 times and really like it. It's an over 55 park. One great feature is that they have a steam room! Rates vary depending on time of year, from $22 to $44 per day. Monthly and annual rates are available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Big resort destination park with all the amenities. Pull throughs handled 40' 5th with ease. Transient sites however are just average. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
