After almost three weeks of boondocking in several areas of the desert in Arizona and California, we decided we needed a break and spent a delightful night at the Sonoran Desert RV park. Wow, this was literally like an oasis for us! We have never stayed at a campground like this before. We made a last minute reservation and got one of the last spots. When we arrived we were escorted to our site. The roads are paved and well maintained. No dust! Our site was a huge pull through with a decent amount of distance from our neighbors. The park was spotless, landscaping was beautiful,
Staff so friendly, and the pool was the icing on the cake! The pool water was warm, the lounge chairs comfy, and piped in music. We took advantage of the laundry ( spotless), the bath house (also spotless) and loved the big library of books in the clubhouse. Plus we thought the rate was very reasonable for all the amenities available. Wish we were here for a few days but it is back to boondocking today (which we love) but a shower longer than two minutes is such a luxury!) we will definitely be back.

Great experience at this well kept, well thought out rv park. Sites are spacious. Pool, shower, dog park, sites all immaculate. Hosts, site ‘escorts’ and staff are all friendly and efficient. Splurged on a site with a dog pen which my pups enjoyed and a lovely fire pit which I enjoyed. Pool was warm and beat expectations. Dog park with grass and benches in the shade. Sweet! Received email from psrk advising campers participating in local Christmas parade and would be doing a stint thru the park. Fun to see the festive lighted golf carts. Good job letting campers know what was happening. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is road noise from I-8 and Butterfield Trail (Phoenix Bypass, business I-8). You will also hear the the industrial plant across the highway. There is a bright site lite atop the pedestal, and the plant has bright lights. The dog park is excellent. We will return.

Driving W/B through the Sonoran Desert, on the I-8 bypass around Phoenix, we encountered strong gusting winds at the leading edge of a Gulf generated storm. I checked Campendium without much hope, as we slowed for the Gila Bend exit that would take us north to I-10.
I was surprised to see a highly rated park listed near me, since it was August, and still 100+ degrees after 6pm. Big Rig friendly RV parks in the desert normally shut down by May when the last of the Snowbirds head home.
The Sonoran Desert RV Park was so close that we had pulled into the driveway before I could even call to check on a vacancy.
The owner (Scott) answered, assured us he had a pull through spot, explained they offered reduced amenities during off season (no laundry or showers), and quickly checked us in over the phone.
He led us to an immaculately groomed, long, level, gravel site, demonstrated how to control the night light in the pedestal, then asked if we’d like to use the pool (I guess I looked fried). He then left the pool gate unlocked for us until after we could use it!
Good solid power kept our two rooftop AC’s humming all night and we slept soundly. Never heard any highway traffic or noticed the distant train track until I took my morning walk.
Chatted briefly with Scott and Winston (his beloved golden Schnauzerdoodle (?), as they were passing in their work cart between chores.
The use of desert materials, to create a colorful and inviting setting, is masterful. The dog park is the nicest and safest I have ever seen. The clubhouse, patio, and pool are perfect for group activities and events.
All the fun amenities like a horseshoe pit, 3 hole putting & chipping green, and a bocce ball court definitely have us rethinking our winter destination plans.
We will be back!

We spent the night here on our way across Arizona to California. It's conveniently located and well managed. In summer, it is crucial to have full power for the A/C - it was 116 degrees when we arrived; so we opted for an RV park rather than our usual truck stop or Walmart. The manager was great. He called us several hours before our arrival to get an idea of when we would arrive. Upon arrival, we called the number posted on the gate and he came out to greet us (we didn't have to leave the RV). Then he escorted us to our site and made sure we knew how to hook everything up. He gave us some great tips about staying in the desert - like running the spigot before hooking up the hose to ensure there aren't any spiders in it. He also suggested keeping our slides in until after sundown to limit the square footage we were trying to cool down. I had originally planned on going to the pool but it was just too hot so I didn't check it out. The park looked very clean but bare-bones; gravel roads and slots and no shade. I noticed some train tracks nearby but didn't hear any trains while we were there. As a stop-over, it was great. In looking over the website, they have some great rates for snow-birds and the park is located outside of Phoenix yet close enough to enjoy the city during the day and the peace & quiet of the park at night. We live in New Mexico so won't take that advantage of that offer but wanted to make others aware of it that may be looking for a winter get-away.

Great place for an overnight! Super clean and nice. Was able to cool off in the pool after a long drive day. This is my second time staying here and will return on my next trip. Highly recommend.
