RV Resorts in Tucson

[concours]

We are thinking about spending the winter of 2016/2017 at the Rincon Country West in Tucson and would like some feed back from members who have been there. We have spent the last 2 winters at Golden Village Palms in Hemet CA and have had a great time but maybe we would like a change of scenery:)

Hello concours- We are currently just down the road from Hemet, CA staying for three months in Aguanga, CA at Rancho California RV Resort.

We are enjoying the very peaceful and quiet resort they have here. It is integrated within a golf course.

Just another option for you if you like the area.

We have not stayed there but have friends who have gone there every year for years and they love it. We have visited them often and it is a very nice place. It is big and has lots of activities and things going on. It is very close to a large shopping center with a grocery store, Penny's, Home Depot, etc. Our friends walk there--but is a long walk. When full-timing we stayed at Desert Trails and liked its funkiness and informality and size. It also has lots going on and is a fun place.

We spent 3 weeks in Tucson last year (April 2015) but did not stay at Rincon. We stayed at the LazyDays KOA. We did however drive by many RV places to see what other options were available should we return. Rincon was one of the places we visited and the person at the gate was kind enough to let us in to tour the place. IN MY OPINION, I found the Rincon spots to be tight and small compared to wide open sites at the KOA. There were lots of permanents at Rincon; it just seemed more crowded but overall a nice looking park. The LazyDays KOA is in a 'sketchy' part of town (but you hardly notice it) whereas Rincon is in a 'better' location. We felt very safe at the KOA. Remember, this is just my opinion based on 3 weeks in Tucson and a 10 minute drive through Rincon.

Concours,

Our DS & his family live in Tucson, so we've stayed at different RV Parks over the year's.

We were at Rincon (west) for a week last year. It was clean & the staff was friendly, but we also thought the sites were very tight/close/crowded with many permanent residents. The location is more residential & more convenient to shopping (& etc), but as mentioned, it's still quite a LONG walk to any businesses, and most folks will likely need to bicycle or drive. They do allow pets, and the rules may vary for long-term/winter sites, but one negative [for us] was the lack of any dog-walk area for short-term/weekly RV sites... dog owners are required to go "outside" the park/security gates to find some grass!

All things considered, we prefer LazyDayz too. We've stayed before & after the KOA purchase [originally Beaudry's RV]. It's in an area which I would now call an industrial/business district on the southern edge of town, but convenient to the Interstate, and we've always found it to be very nice/well-staffed, clean, safe/gated & also pet/family friendly. http://koa.com/campgrounds/tucson-lazydays/

I can't comment on the "long-term, winter activities" of either business since we're only there 1-2-3 weeks, and at various times throughout the year. ;)

Hope this helps.
