This is a huge park and while it certainly appears to be run very efficiently, the rates are high and the corporate production line atmosphere made me increasingly anxious to leave. Frankly, I didn't see anything in particular to justify the rates, and I prefer smaller, out-of-the-way parks anyway, so I probably wouldn't return for any length of time. That's not to imply the park is without positives. It's conveniently located for Tucson shopping and other activities. The downside though is that it's surrounded on all sides by busy streets, including the interstate a few hundred yards away, so the traffic noise is quite noticeable, especially in the evenings. The normal facilities in general were fine ... the bathrooms were clean and the sites themselves are nice. On the other hand, the wi-fi was terribly flaky ... it went offline constantly and many times I couldn't even check email. At these rates, I'd think they could get that right. Beaudry has a service facility on the grounds, as well as a Camping World. When I inquired about some minor work on my trailer, however, I was told there was at least a week's waiting list. Personally, I wouldn't stay here again other than a simple overnight, but access to the interstate is good and you know what you're getting, so if the huge conglomerate-type atmosphere suits you, you'll like it here.

This is a very nice little park, well-maintained with nice landscaping, and spotlessly clean. The Wi-Fi worked well (I'm using it now to write this). I don't know what the other reviewer meant by "control freak." I had no problem at all with the manager, who was friendly and accommodating. When checking in, I asked for a site as far from the highway as possible, which he gave me. However, it turned out the site next door to it had a large dog left alone outside. Nothing against dogs, I just don't want to hear them constantly. The manager immediately offered me another site, and it was fine. The park is on a fairly busy highway and you would expect some traffic noise, but it wasn't a problem. I think the trees and the fact that the park slopes slightly downward away from the highway deflects the noise. Despite the slope though, my site was nice and level, and I had enough room that I didn't bother to unhitch the trailer. I didn't ask for a pull-through, of which there are only a few, and my site was wide enough I had no problem backing in. As others have noted, the park is fairly small, with tight turns, so big rigs will need to be a little extra careful. The only thing keeping me from giving this park a 10 is the nightly rate, which I thought was high considering it was off-season. The rate I quoted included Good Sam.

I stayed at this park for three weeks, and really enjoyed it. Personally, I prefer parks that are off the beaten track and this one definitely is. It's two miles from the tiny settlement of Why, Arizona, and completely surrounded by open desert. The park is on the highway, but there is so little traffic that noise wasn't a problem. Don't expect a lot of amenities out here. I understand there are activities planned for the winter season, but in general it's the sort of place where if you have to ask "what is there to do here?", you probably wouldn't like it for more than an overnight. I spent a lot of time hiking and wandering in and around the desert hills behind the park, and the solitude and wide open spaces were wonderful. The park is also a fine gateway to Organ Pipe National Monument. The managers are as nice as they can be and very interesting to talk to. The rates are typical for this type of park ... you can hardly beat $85/week. All sites are level and long enough for big rigs, with concrete patios on every one ... only a few pull-thrus, though. Many sites have mesquite trees, which are pleasant even if not really big enough to provide much shade. The laundry has new equipment (four of each). The reason I didn't give a higher rating is because the bathrooms could have been cleaned more frequently. It's true there were only a half-dozen occupied RV's in the park at the time I was there and the bathrooms didn't get much use, but as far as I could tell they were only cleaned once in my entire three weeks. And then there are the wild burros, who wander through at will. The burros cause no trouble to campers and are fun to watch, but be aware you might hear them braying at all hours of the night. More serious, there was a range bull that I twice saw lumbering through the park. Burros are one thing, a bull quite another. The managers called in a cowboy from the Tohono Reservation to round him up, but I would say a fence is needed. The Wi-Fi was adequate, although it did drop offline a number of times for an hour or two at a time. I'm pretty sure this was a problem with the provider, however, and not the park. I would definitely come back to this park. You don't find peace and quiet like this in very many parks, and managers as nice as these are worth their weight in gold if you're staying for a while. The closest town other than Why is Ajo, but there isn't much there ... a smallish grocery store and a couple of restaurants. The closest serious shopping and restaurants would be Tucson or Casa Grande, both about two hours away.

I would rate this park as barely adequate. The electric breakers tripped a number of times, and the boxes themselves are falling apart. At another site, the sewer backed up, spilling raw sewage around. The bathrooms are just short of disgusting. I don't think they're cleaned but every few days, if that. The men's bathroom has only one toilet. The Wifi worked adequately. I stayed a month because I enjoy the area, but I probably won't stay here again. The town of Kanab is clean and pleasant, with several nice (if not great) restaurants. I had some work done on my truck and was happy with the service I got. There are two other parks in town and I'll probably try them next time I'm in Kanab.

I stayed here a total of seven nights on two separate occasions. I would definitely return. The Park is located about three miles outside of town and has nice views of the mountains. The Park is right on the highway, but there is very little traffic at night, so noise was not a problem. Everything in the Park was very clean and well-maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. Behind the Park is open pinon-juniper woodland for several miles all the way to the mountains, and crisscrossed with trails, perfect for hiking or jogging. I think the Park's rates are somewhat high considering the area, but I could find nothing to complain about the Park itself.

I stayed here for a week, and would rate the park barely adequate, but it's the only RV park in town and very inexpensive. There is also tent camping here, and during the time of my stay, several large groups of younger people tent camped. They were very noisy late into the night. The bathrooms were heavily used and very dirty, probably due to the tenters, so I used the bathroom in the restaurant. There is no Wi-fi access in the park itself ... you have to go across the street to the motel. I could live with that, except there's no lobby where you can sit with your laptop, so I sat outside. If you're not familiar with the town of Hanksville, be aware that there is very little here. A couple of restaurants and C-stores, and one small grocery store. That's it. But the surrounding desert is beautiful and you're about an hour away from Lake Powell, Capitol Reef Nat'l Park, and Goblin Valley. The Maze district of Canyonlands Nat'l Park is about two hours away.

This park is a model for how RV parks should be managed. I've stayed here twice and everything is absolutely immaculate ... spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and well-managed. The folks in the office are as nice as they can be. However, it's located right next to an Interstate and the traffic noise is constant and horrendous. Also, I couldn't always get Wi-fi reception inside my trailer, but if I sat outside at the picnic table it was at least usable (there are also two computers in the office for use). The Wi-fi is a relatively minor quibble. Overall, I'd definitely return for short stays, but because of the noise I can't rate it higher than 7, and I'd go crazy if I tried to stay longer.

I liked the location of this park. It's about 10 miles from Colorado Springs, up in the foothills just south of Cheyenne Mountain. There's an abandoned road leading several miles up the mountain that serves as a hiking trail. The trail doesn't appear to be used often, so if you're looking for a little solitude in the forest, you've got it. The park itself, however, leaves a lot to be desired. I had to find some extra cinder blocks just to level my 20 ft trailer, and when it rained, which was nearly every afternoon, sand washed over everything. The Wifi is only available in the laundry, which was open 24 hours, but the doors wouldn't close completely, so it got very buggy in the evening. The worst thing about the park for me, however, was the barking dogs owned by one of the fulltime residents. Despite rules against it, this person had three large dogs that were kept outside most of the time and they barked incessantly. I originally intended to stay a month, but left after less than three weeks because of the noise. Another resident was a younger person who had noisy parties. Overall, there's nothing here that would encourage me to come back.

I gave this park a 6 rating, and I'm not sure I'd rate anything in Flagstaff higher, which is a shame considering how popular the town is in the summer. Reservations are critical ... I didn't have one and was lucky to get a site. A previous reviewer indicated there's no laundry, but there is. They just didn't point it out when I checked in. When I asked, they showed me. There's also a bathroom in the laundry, but no shower. No WIFI, but the little coffee shop next door has it. The traffic noise from the highway was tolerable for short stays, I guess, but for my taste was excessive for a longer stay. There are no other activities or amenities that I was aware of. The Park manager was nice and friendly, but wasn't available all the time.

I wintered at Desert Trails for five years and would have only minor complaints. I will confirm what others have noted: the owners of the Park are very helpful and accessible, and will bend over backwards to accommodate you. I had a couple of minor site maintenance issues and they were there in a flash to take care of it. In the office they just couldn't be any nicer or more helpful. I am an avid hiker and so the trail access into Tucson Mountain Park was very appealing to me. Plenty of birds and wildlife, as well. I also liked being away from the city, although obviously that also means you'll have to drive a ways for groceries or other shopping. In general, I would give good marks for the quiet, although San Joaquin Road seems to get busier all the time. There is also a shooting range nearby, and when it's busy (tournaments?), the non-stop shooting noise can go on for several hours. It's true the Park's buildings are older and there's nothing fancy about them, but they are in good repair and everything seems to work. The Wi-Fi quality is uneven. At times it was excellent, other times I could barely get a signal. This is a common complaint at many parks, of course. I rarely watch TV, so the lack of cable never bothered me much. My understanding was that the Tucson cable TV company hadn't wired the area in general, so the lack is not the fault of the Park. Lots of activities, as others have pointed out. If you get bored here, you're not trying. I would definitely return to Desert Trails.

I liked this funky little park. I stayed a week, and have no qualms about going back. If you want fancy, you won't find it here, but what you get works. But that's true of the town of Bluff in general. Very limited town facilities, so make sure your groceries and things are well-stocked before you get here. Nice views of the surrounding cliffs. Reasonably quiet for traffic noise. The owner/manager was very nice. The Wi-Fi worked fine. There is an excellent steakhouse within walking distance. The menu isn't extensive, but the food is great and the atmosphere homey and comfy. It's only open in the summer months, however.
