We have wintered at this park a couple of times. It’s a senior park (55+) with good rates, a great staff and discount tour tickets with pick-up and return to the park office. There is bingo once a week and low stakes poker whenever you can round up some players.
There is a large canal running across the back of the park that provides some fun fishing when it’s full (half of the time). Sometimes stripers, other times large mouth bass but most times an even mix with some catfish mixed in. They love cut anchovies.
Parking is close but comfortable. Every Wednesday the park is flooded with canal water. Each site has an outlet and is saturated with the water. You can wash your trailer RV with it but it’s not advisable because the water spotting is terrible. We got the Mexicans to wash our RV. They tow in fresh water and their rates are lower than any kids allowance.
There are a lot of bus tours out of the Yuma area RV parks. The most popular is an overnighter to Laughlin, NV and back down along the Colorado River. Another is out to Martinez Lake for a paddle wheel boat ride on the Colorado.
There are two large, paved, flea markets in Yuma where the gray hair is supreme.
There are numerous golf courses in the area and the rates are the same all seven days of the week and holidays.
Parking in parking lots like Walmart is not allowed within the city limits. The VFW has lots of land around it’s club out on US-95 and dry camping there is free.
You don’t get wet very often during the winter months in Yuma but it sure will get dusty at times. One year we left a month early because the wind would not quit blowing.
Of course when you’re that close to Quartzsite, AZ you’re just going to have to go up to the annual RV show. You’ve never seen such a thing as the thousands of dry campers parked zig zag all across the desert leading into Quartzsite from any direction. Water wagons and honey wagons are constantly stirring up the dust as far as you can see. It’s a who’s who of thermal electric rooftop contraptions.
Indian Casinos? Yep, they are there, in any direction. One has a state line right down the middle including a time change when crossing from one to the other. Another south of town has outstanding (paved) dry camping.
That’s a little longer post than I had planned to make in this blog. It’s hard not to mention some things once I get started.
