Why RVers stay here

All sites are full hookup with 30/50-amp, water and sewer, and despite the tight urban footprint the park takes big rigs up to 45 feet. Rates are straightforward at $40 to $55 a night, it is open year-round, and cell signal is excellent. The one real limitation is availability: with only 23 sites you need to book ahead, especially in winter when snowbirds fill the whole Tucson metro. Do not expect a pool, a clubhouse or much shade; the trade is amenities for location.

✓The only RV park within walking distance of downtown Tucson.

✓Full 30/50-amp hookups on paved pads that accommodate rigs to 45 feet.

✓Simple $40 to $55 nightly pricing, open year-round.
