Desert Trails RV Park

Leonard Bahl

Stayed here for two months this winter but would not come again. Pros: walk or bike to the “desert trails” from your site, dove, quail, owls and other birds sing to you every day, able to receive mail/packages, reasonably priced. Cons are many: water gets turned off frequently, sites can be very tight, buildings and grounds need lots of work, part time maintenance workers can’t keep up with years of neglect. The whole time we were there a pile of torn up wood railing with nails, wiring and even rebar stayed piled up next to the dirty (no grass or landscape) dog run, a haven for rattlesnakes and a hazard for dogs and Seniors. Piles of landscaping cuttings drawing snakes and pack rats. The pool is tiny, music only once or twice a month (not as stated on their website) and very little activities as stated. No pickle ball or tennis, just Bocce ball. Laundry has no change machine and office has no quarters, plus WIFi doesn’t work for credit card machine. Oh, no WIFi or cable, WIFi only at certain buildings. Customer service is lacking, not friendly or helpful but did meet lots of nice RV’rs! If you don’t care about the amenities or condition and want the desert out your door, this for you!

We stayed at Desert Trails for 4 months this winter. It’s our second visit. The positives are the mature vegetation, the abundance of birds, access to the desert, and friendly people. Unfortunately, for us, the negatives outweigh the positives. The pool is not maintained and there are no chairs, there is a general sense of disrepair with garbage cans not emptied routinely, broken items not repaired, and a large, ugly dirt pile in the middle of the park. Wifi is spotty at best and never worked in our campsite. The laundry is also spotty and the park with not reimburse for lost money. There are no other amenities. All activities are run by the residents including setup, clean up, etc. There have also been security concerns with numerous accounts of non-residents roaming the park and trying door handles. Unfortunately, we won’t stay here in the future.

Great location with walk-in access to Tucson Mountain Park, and a short drive or ride to the Desert Museum and Saguaro National Monument West. Literally miles of walking trails connect to the park. Large back-in lots With utilities that work, beautiful views and great desert scenery. It looked like the new owners are having to catch up with years of neglected maintenance to the landscaping and buildings. This will be a great park again when they have trimmed the palm trees, painted the buildings and fixed the pool. They are working hard and Desert Trails is a good place to explore the best of Tucson.

Wow. One of the better RV parks in Tucson. Even though it's 20 minutes outside of Tucson it's worth it. Quiet, very minimal road noise. Food trucks will come in, there's a dog park, laundry and shower services, and trails for biking or walking. Best part the people are really friendly and accommodating.
