| - This place is awful. It's RV hell. The place is run like an overzealous HOA, with ridiculous rules that are selectively applied.
It's not great for tent camping. We called ahead to ask about staying in a tent and were told that tent camping was available. We expected there would be wooded areas for tents, but instead we were on gravel with RVs very close to us. We could not stake the tent because the ground was so hard.
On our third day, the female manager came out and told us there had been three noise complaints. She also yelled at us for having a table and chairs outside of our tent, even though the RV'rs had carpets and tables outside.
Also, there was a terrible storm the night before (unexpected, unusual crazy BAD weather for AZ) and we tied tarps to our tent. Apparently they were too noisy because of the wind. We obviously don't control the weather, and it was pretty shocking that other guests would be so nasty about it.
After the manager's visit, the resort's security patrol drove by our tent twice per hour for the next several days. It was pretty creepy and bordered on harassment. The manager had threatened to make us leave and it was pretty clear they were looking for a reason to kick us out.
There is a clique at this place, made up of people who live there in their RVs. You will probably not fit in.
You are not allowed to use the grass. It's a rule.
There are a lot of fees: $10 for a card to use the showers/pool, and a pet deposit are two examples. The electricity does not work very well, either. There are no toilets nearby, so bring a camp toilet if you are in a tent or stay elsewhere.
This place is expensive and given how nasty the management and staff are, I am surprised they remain in business. Even if I get an RV in the future, I won't be staying here.
