Alamorosa575 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hi I am looking for suggestions and help finding a campground for the month of Jan 2016 in or near the Phoenix area. We are under 55 (just barely) and have it would be just the 2 of us. We have a larger 5th wheel. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks.

LindaH Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Desert's Edge RV Park -- http://www.desertsedgerv.com/ North Phoenix RV Park -- http://www.northphoenixrvpark.com/ Desert Sands RV Park -- http://www.campingfriend.com/desertsandsrvpark/ Pleasant Harbor RV Resort -- http://www.pleasantharbor.com/rv-resort/ Desert Shadows RV Resort -- http://www.phoenixrvresorts.com/ These are just some of the ones I came up with on a Google search, looking at the map and clicking on each park to get to their website. The only one we've stayed at is Pleasant Harbor...it's nice, but they charge $10 for pets, so we won't be staying there again. I'm sure there are many more non-55+ parks, but you'll probably have to stay away from the Mesa/Apache Junction area and look into RV parks farther out (the ones I've listed are all in the northern park of the Valley).

Bill Joyce Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 We have stayed at Desert Sands in the north end of Phoenix proper and there were kids running around, so it was not a 55+ campground. Arizona Maverik in Mesa is not 55+ and Carefree Manor in Apache Junction is also not 55+. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

Darryl&Rita Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 We stayed in Carefree last winter, while I was long-distance commuting to Canadian oilpatch work. Great community environment, and like most places in Apache Junction, light on rules and heavy handed enforcement. A great place to settle into, even though we were close to 20 years younger than most. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

SWharton Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Phoenix area is big. Where do you want to stay, North, South, East or West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSilver Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Don't tell them your age unless they ask. If you're that close to 55, they probably won't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Joyce Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Mesa Regal is 55+, as are all Cal-Am parks. But 55+ means they will allow some under 55. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

soos Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I have been frequenting Mesa Regal for many years, and I JUST turned 55. I have never been questioned about my age at any Cal-am resort.

jamtracy Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 For only a month they probably wont care. We've stayed in Goodyear a couple of times and unless your going to live there they allow under 55 and we are 5 years off. Make some calls and find out. 2024 GMC 3500HD DRW Denali Diesel 2019 Keystone Avalanche 396BH USN Retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Joyce Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 At my first longer stay Val Vista Village made me sign a piece of paper that I was 55 or older. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

2gypsies Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I've heard that, even though they say 55+, by law they have to admit a certain percentage of under 55.

a1rstreamer Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Actually, they have to have at least a certain percentage of 55+. So, you may, if you so wish, stay the month at RoVers' Roost (the Escapee Co-Op in Casa Grande). Casa Grande is roughly half-way between Phoenix and Tucson. There is, however, a 40-foot limit on RV's that can stay there. Trailer = 1987 Airstream Excella 32' Truck = 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
